Board adopts school climate policy, updates bylaws and approves consent agenda
Summary
The board adopted updated governance documents including policy 5131‑911 (school climate), revised bylaws expanding the role of school liaisons, and policy 9010 (limits of authority); the consent agenda passed after several items (Q–W) were pulled then approved.
Board members voted to adopt new board policy 5131‑911 on school climate after the policy committee reviewed formatting and ordering concerns. The board also approved updated bylaws that expand the role of board members as school liaisons and adopted policy 9010 regarding limits of authority. Several consent agenda items were pulled (identified in the meeting as items Q through W) for separate consideration; the board then approved those items individually and carried the remainder of the consent agenda.
During discussion a board member noted a possible formatting omission under the bylaws' "vacancy" section; staff said they would correct the formatting. Votes were taken by voice and recorded as "Aye"; no roll‑call tallies were provided in the public record.
