5) Consent agenda (routine approvals) — initial vote (items listed below; two items pulled for separate votes) The board moved to approve the consent agenda with two items pulled (items later referenced as 16c and 16d). The consent motion (minus the pulled items) passed by roll call. Items included (excerpted from agenda language): purchases and agreements for advanced placement test purchases, dual enrollment programming and other routine district contracts. Outcome: approved (consent minus pulled items).
6) Separate votes on pulled items (identified in agenda as 16c and 16d) Item 16c: Triton dual-degree course tuition for SY 2025–26 (voucher/tuition line shown in board materials). The board took a separate roll-call vote on the Triton dual-degree tuition item; one board member recorded an abstention and the motion passed. Outcome: approved (abstention recorded).
Item 16d: Triton meal/voucher cards for dual-degree students (TriCafe vouchers). The board voted separately on this item; the motion passed with at least one board member recorded as abstaining. Outcome: approved (abstention recorded). The meeting discussion recorded that the current per-student meal estimate is $10/day and district staff estimated a total of $12,800 for the present cohort and $46,400 if the next cohort (29 students) is added; the approved motion covered the requested voucher allocation as listed on the agenda.
Additional notes: Several action items (AP test purchases; dual-degree tuition; dual enrollment career academy agreements; staffing and vendor contracts) were included on the consent agenda or in the packet and were approved as part of the consent process or as the separate votes described above. Where numbers in the meeting narrative and the final consent paperwork differ, the board recorded the vote on the agenda item as presented at the time of the motion. Specific amounts that were explicitly recorded in the meeting audio and agenda materials include: AP test purchases (agenda line listed $155,948), Triton dual-degree tuition (agenda materials referenced tuition amounts and projections; district memo discussed an increase to $168,000 for projected cohort costs), and TriCafe voucher projections ($12,800 current; $46,400 projected for the expanded cohort). The meeting minutes treat these as agenda-backed decisions and record the roll-call outcomes as described.
Where the transcript lists roll calls, those names and votes are recorded in the official minutes. The board president and vice president presided over the votes; where a member is listed as "absent" in the roll call that is noted in the minutes. Where a board member abstained on consent items, the abstention was recorded by name in the roll call.
