Board sends multiple policies back to committee, approves consent items and contract votes
At the meeting the board handled a multi‑item consent agenda, debated several draft policies and approved several administrative actions.

Consent agenda and pulled items: The board removed consent items b (Memorandum of Understanding with Voyage), h (transportation/software item) and j (school improvement plans) for separate consideration. Item b (Voyage MOU) and item h (transportation/software) were moved and approved by voice votes (both recorded as 7–0). School improvement plans were discussed in detail and subsequently approved by motion (SEG 2320–2328).

Policy referrals: Board members debated policy 22‑30 (board committees) and moved to send it to the policy committee for revision (SEG 2491–2496). Draft public participation policy 23‑10 drew concern for potentially intimidating or confrontational language; after discussion the board voted unanimously to send 23‑10 back to policy for clearer, less punitive wording (SEG 2707–2810). Policy 23‑35 (advanced delivery of meeting materials) and 79‑10 (retirement/pension‑spiking language) were also referred back to policy for clarification.

Contracts and budget items: The board approved a contract for exceptional‑children legal services with standard hourly rates and a flat travel reimbursement; the contract passed 6–1 after discussion of travel costs (SEG 3124–3240). A set of capital project savings was reallocated to other projects and approved 7–0; district staff noted the transfers will also go to the county commissioners for approval (SEG 3254–3300).

Votes at a glance: agenda and minutes (7–0); RISE endowment ask (7–0); consent items (majority passed, pulled items handled and passed where applicable); EC legal contract (6–1); capital reallocation (7–0); several policy drafts sent back to policy committee for revision.
