Community voices speak against consolidation at Cobb; board approves consent calendar and names BCC appointee
Summary
Community members urged the board to protect Cobb Elementary from further consolidation; the board recorded two consent-calendar administrative corrections/withdrawals and approved the consent calendar (clerk announced "6 ayes"); the board also appointed Maria Lourdes Nosedale to the Bilingual Community Council.
Renell Garibaldi, a teacher at Dr. William L. Cobb Elementary School, urged the board to "support our Cobb community by allowing us to grow and diversify our community" and warned that further consolidation and teacher reductions would harm a school that serves many multi-generational families.
Separately, Superintendent (or staff) identified two administrative changes to the consent calendar: one item (15098 KS6, pages 86-87) was withdrawn from the consent calendar and another (15098 KS9, page 92) required a corrected end date (05/26/2016, not 05/26/2015). The board then moved and seconded the consent calendar and the clerk conducted a roll-call vote; the clerk announced "6 ayes" as the result.
A board member announced an appointment to the Bilingual Community Council: Maria Lourdes Nosedale of Sheridan Elementary.
The transcript shows community concern about consolidation at Cobb and administrative housekeeping actions on the consent calendar; the meeting record does not show further board action on consolidations during this session.
