Votes at a glance: RPS board approves consent agenda, course guide, facility naming and annual calendar

At its Nov. 18 meeting the Rochester Public Schools board took several routine actions by roll call vote.

- Consent agenda (Items 5.1–5.12): Moved, seconded and approved by roll call; no items were removed for separate consideration.

- FY25 audit acceptance: The board adopted a resolution accepting the FY25 audit report prepared by Bergen KDB (roll call). Auditors issued an unmodified opinion and reported no written findings.

- 2026–27 course registration guide: The board approved the high‑school course registration guide for grades 9–12 by roll call vote.

- Naming: The board approved a resolution to name the John Marshall High School basketball court after Kerwin Englehart in recognition of his long service to the school and district.

- Annual board calendar (ABCD) through Aug. 1, 2026: The board reviewed and approved the draft ABCD, which includes the truth‑in‑taxation special session on Dec. 16 at 6:00 p.m.

Motions were moved and seconded for each item and roll call votes recorded 'aye' responses in the broadcast transcript; the meeting included no negative roll‑call outcomes recorded in the transcript. No public commenters were recognized in the allotted public comment period.

The board also read a resolution recognizing John Carlson’s 15 years of service; the resolution was adopted by voice/roll call and the superintendent said a search for his successor is underway.

No action was taken on changes to CACR goals; staff will return with revised goal language for board consideration in spring.
