At the Nov. 6 meeting the School Committee took several formal actions by motion and voice vote.
Budget transfer • Motion: "I move to approve the budget transfer." (mover identified in the audio as a committee member; no name given in the transcript) • Reason: To move settled contract amounts out of the salary reserve into the appropriate salary lines after spring contract settlements. • Outcome: Approved on a voice vote. (Transcript records: "All in favor? Aye. Any opposed? Great.")
IKFE competency‑determination policy (second reading) • Motion: Committee moved to approve the revised IKFE policy, which updates the district approach to state competency determination and aligns with DESE guidance. The policy had been posted for community feedback. • Outcome: Approved on a voice vote. (Transcript records: "I got motion to move to approve the IKFE competency determination policy." followed by "Second. All in favor? Aye. Any opposed? Great.")
Items by consent and adjournment • Committee approved items by consent (motion and voice vote). • Motion to adjourn carried on a voice vote; the meeting ended at 7:40 p.m. The committee set its next meeting for Nov. 20.
