Tempe Union board approves consent agenda, committee assignments and schedules second reading of superintendent-evaluation policy
Summary
The Tempe Union governing board adopted the agenda, convened an executive session to discuss legal counsel compensation, approved consent and business items, assigned Member Hodge to the Employee Benefit Trust and the president to the audit committee, and scheduled a second reading of Policy CBI for Feb. 21.
The Tempe Union High School District governing board handled routine business and several formal votes at its regular meeting.
The board opened the meeting, moved to adopt the evening’s agenda and approved the motion. President Montero then moved the board into an executive session to discuss the district’s position concerning salaries and benefits for the Tri-District legal counsel; the motion cited Arizona statute (noted on the record as ARS 38-431.03 A(5) and A(1)). The board convened to the conference room; the meeting minutes did not record any open-session action resulting from that executive session.
After reconvening, the board approved the consent agenda items F-1 through F-11 unanimously. Board members also approved business services items H-1 through H-4 in a single motion (5-0). During board-policy discussion, members identified revisions to Policy CBI (evaluation of the superintendent); the only recommended change flagged for the second reading was to strike "direct reports to the superintendent" from the leadership competency survey. The second reading was scheduled for Feb. 21.
On committee assignments, President Montero moved to approve Member Hodge for the Employee Benefit Trust committee and to continue serving on the audit committee himself; Mara Barraza seconded and the motion passed 5-0.
The board announced its next regular meeting for Feb. 21, 2024, then moved to adjourn; the adjournment motion passed 5-0.
Recorded motions and votes (as stated in the meeting): - Adopt agenda: motion moved by President Montero; second by Vice President James; recorded "Motion passes 4 0." - Executive session convened under ARS 38-431.03(A)(5) and (A)(1): motion moved by President Montero; second by Member Steele; transcript shows "Motion passes 5 4 4 0" (likely reporting a unanimous vote); board convened to executive session and later reconvened with no open-session action recorded. - Consent agenda F-1 through F-11: motion passed 5-0. - Business services H-1 through H-4: motion passed 5-0. - Committee assignments (Member Hodge to Employee Benefit Trust; President to audit committee): motion passed 5-0.
No controversial policy votes or formal implementation directives were recorded in open session during this meeting.
