Summary
At its Oct. 28 meeting, the Volusia County School Board unanimously approved the Oct. 14 minutes and the current agenda after removing item 9.11 for later consideration. The board also set a single-day schedule for Nov. 18 and noted a Futures board meeting Nov. 19 morning obligation for the incoming seatholder.
The Volusia County School Board approved minutes from its Oct. 14 regular session and adopted the Oct. 28 agenda with changes, including removing consent item 9.11 to bring it back at a later date. The votes on routine items were unanimous.
Superintendent Dr. Carmen Balgobin asked the board to remove item 9.11 because the purchasing process for that item was not complete. "We did receive emails asking to remove it because it was not completely ready yet with purchasing," Dr. Balgobin said while requesting the removal. The chair and board members agreed to remove the item from the consent agenda so it could be finalized before being considered again.
Separately, district operations staff requested that item 11.02 (the University High parent loop project) be pulled from the consent agenda so it could be considered as a stand-alone item; board members agreed to vote on 11.02 separately rather than as part of the consent docket.
The board scheduled a single-day set of meetings on Tuesday, Nov. 18: an organizational session at 12:30 p.m., a leasing court meeting at 12:30 p.m., a workshop/work session at 1 p.m., and a regular session at 4:30 p.m. Chair Jamie Haines also reminded members that whoever fills the upcoming vacant seat will need to attend the Futures board meeting on Wednesday, Nov. 19 at 7:45 a.m.
Votes on the minutes and agenda changes were taken by voice and recorded as passing unanimously; no roll-call or dissenting remarks were made on these routine items.
