ROCORI board approves memberships, property use and routine agenda items
Summary
The ROCORI Public School District board approved the agenda and consent agenda and voted to renew membership in two education organizations and to allow Saint Boniface parish to use district property for a fireworks display.
The ROCORI Public School District Board of Education approved the meeting agenda and consent agenda and voted to renew memberships in two education organizations and to permit a parish festival fireworks display on district property.
The board approved the agenda at the start of the meeting and approved the consent agenda by voice vote. The board then voted to renew its membership in Schools Advocating for Fair Funding and the Minnesota School Boards Association (MSBA) and approved a request from Saint Boniface parish to use district property near the brewery area for a fireworks display.
Board members made the motions and seconds on the items and approved them by voice vote; roll-call tallies were not recorded in the meeting transcript. Motions recorded in the meeting included: approval of the agenda (motion by Matt; second by Lynn), approval of the consent agenda (motion by Lynn; second by Jennifer), approval of membership in Schools Advocating for Fair Funding (motion by Jennifer; second by Robin), approval of MSBA renewal (motion by Lynn; second by Matt) and approval of Saint Boniface parish festival property use for fireworks (motion by Jenna; second by Robin). All were approved as presented.
Board discussion of the membership renewals included remarks about the value of Schools Advocating for Fair Funding in lobbying for long-term facility maintenance (LTFM) dollars and other district-specific legislative priorities that the statewide Minnesota School Boards Association may not prioritize. The board noted that the technology and safety projects such memberships have helped advance include LTFM-funded roof work, wireless upgrades and spending flexibilities for food service accounts.
On the fireworks request, board members noted the parish has used the site for several years and that fireworks plans have been canceled in past years when drought conditions created fire risks. The board granted the parish permission to proceed with planning this year.
The meeting adjourned after the board covered additional discussion items and routine reports.
