Policy committee resignation; board hears legislative update and thanks community donors
Summary
Board president reported Mr. Dickerson resigned from the policy committee and Elmore has been appointed chair. A board member provided a legislative update, saying a state budget may arrive by Oct. 1, and recognized multiple community organizations and volunteers for donations to kindergarten supplies and programs.
The board president told the meeting that Mr. Dickerson has resigned from the policy committee and that Elmore has been appointed chair of that committee; the presiding officer also reminded members that board committee meetings are open and that any board member may attend whether assigned.
During committee reports, a board member reported speaking with State Rep. Torin Eker, who "predicts we'll have a state budget by October 1," but expressed skepticism. That board member suggested, rhetorically, that the district recommend withholding legislators' pay until a budget is passed after the deadline.
The board member also thanked a long list of community groups and volunteers for donating items and time for kindergarten bag assemblies and other supports. Organizations and groups mentioned included the Mason Dixon chapter of ABATE, Toys for Tots' literacy program, United Way Ready to Learn, local early-learning centers and volunteers; Amanda Staub was named as the Lincoln Elementary School counselor involved in the effort.
No formal board action on the policy committee change or the legislative suggestion was recorded during the meeting.
