Board approves consent agenda and personnel items; two recusals recorded
Summary
The Bolivar R‑I Board approved the consent agenda (recorded as 5–0 with two abstentions) and separately approved a vendor check and the hiring of substitute Carrie Goodman; Jill recused from a vendor check and Dr. Goodman recused from substitute action because his wife was the substitute candidate.
The Bolivar R‑I Board of Education moved and approved the consent agenda during the September meeting. Board notes recorded two recusals on items pulled from the consent agenda: a member identified as Jill recused herself from a check, and Dr. Goodman recused himself because his wife, Carrie Goodman, was on the substitute recommendation list.
The board then voted on the pulled items individually. The motion to approve the vendor check referenced in the transcript as a check "to barges" passed with an abstention recorded by Jill. The subsequent motion to approve substitute teacher Carrie Goodman passed with Dan abstaining.
The chair read the motions and called for votes; the transcript records the consent agenda carrying "5 0 with 2 abstaining" and later records individual outcomes described in discussion. The meeting minutes indicate motions were seconded and the board proceeded to CSIP updates after the votes.
Actions recorded from the meeting (as stated in the transcript): • Consent agenda approval: "Carries 5 0 with 2 abstaining." • Approval of check to vendor referenced as "barges": passed with one abstention by Jill (vote count not explicitly spoken as a numeric tally in the record). • Approval of substitute Carrie Goodman: passed; the transcript records "6 0 with Dan abstaining" at the vote call.
The board did not provide additional public comment on these items during the meeting; two recusals were noted on the record.
