• Consent agenda approved — minutes (multiple dates) and payment of bills were approved by motion and voice vote.

• Adoption of board policies — trustees approved the second reading and adoption of multiple MSBA‑recommended policy updates (listed at the meeting by code: GCPA, IGBA‑1, JEC‑1, JFCA, JFCJ, JG, JGF, JHDE, JHDF, JHG).

• Accept 2024 audit — the board voted to accept the audit prepared by Stanley Dernberger Hopper and Associates, LLC after an auditor presentation.

Projects will be scoped and individual project approvals may return to the board if required.
