Notes: Several items required follow-up (policy 1430.03 to be reworked; superintendent search advertising and timeline to be finalized with FSBA; staff action items on budget and capital projects to proceed). Many votes were unanimous (5-0); recorded roll-call names were not consistently used during votes in the public audio, so tallies are reported as recorded in the meeting notes.
Ending: The board moved multiple policy and administrative items forward with unanimous support, agreed to further review one employee-benefits policy, and authorized external assistance for the superintendent search.
