The Greendale School District Board moved through routine business, approving several motions by roll call.

- Minutes: Speaker 14 moved to approve the regular and closed‑session meeting minutes from Nov. 10; motion was seconded and approved by roll call (meeting recorded as "motion passes").

- Checks and disbursements: A motion by Speaker 17 to approve checks and disbursements totaling $1,819,341.96 was seconded and approved by roll call.

- Policy second reading: Administration recommended approval of several policy updates (including changes tied to Act 20 and clarifications between property inventory and capital‑asset policies). Speaker 15 moved to approve the policies at second reading; the motion was seconded and approved by roll call.

- Course changes: A motion to approve 2026–27 course additions, deletions and related budgetary needs was moved (Speaker 9), seconded and approved by roll call. Board members clarified that the recommended African American studies offering will remain available enrollment‑dependent.

- Personnel: The board approved the 2025–26 agreement with the Greendale Education Association and accepted a teacher retirement as part of the personnel motion; the motion was moved (Speaker 15), seconded and approved by roll call.

Where roll‑call tallies in the transcript are recorded by speaker number rather than by name, the meeting minutes list 'Yes' votes from speakers recorded in the transcript (for example, multiple "Yes" responses from Speaker 15 and others were captured during each roll call). No formal motions failed or were tabled at the meeting.
