Ralston Board approves consent agenda and policy changes in unanimous roll calls
Summary
The board approved the consent agenda and passed motions to remove Policy 20‑25 and Policy 60‑35 and to amend Policy 60‑34 by roll call. Motions were moved, seconded and approved by recorded votes; no votes against were recorded in the transcript.
At its Oct. 27 meeting the Ralston Public Schools Board of Education approved several motions by roll call, including acceptance of the consent agenda and three policy actions.
Consent agenda: A motion to approve the consent agenda (which included minutes from the previous meeting and routine items) was made by Liz and seconded by Samantha; the board conducted a roll call and all recorded members voted in favor. The chair declared the motion passed.
Policy changes: The board then considered a sequence of policy motions. A motion to approve removal of Policy 20‑25 (form requirements moved to statute) was moved by Liz and seconded by Carrie; roll call recorded unanimous approval. A second motion to remove Policy 60‑35 (teacher mentoring) also passed after a motion by Katie and a second by Samantha; administration explained the mentoring requirements are verified through Rule 10 and do not need a separate policy. A third motion to amend Policy 60‑34 (concussion training) passed after a motion by Katie and seconded by Carrie; the amendment broadens training approval to any provider approved by the chief medical officer at the state level.
Votes and procedure: Each motion was called, discussed briefly, and adopted by voice/roll call. The transcript records board members responding to roll‑call prompts with “Aye” (recorded names included Missus Coomer, Missus Huff, Missus Willie, Missus Richards, Missus Krauss, Miss Rorty and Missus Kimbell or similar spellings in the record). No ‘no’ votes or abstentions were recorded in the transcript excerpts provided.
The board also discussed several policy review items that will return at future meetings, including a proposed pre‑K policy and the status of a longstanding international study/travel policy.
