Board approves consent calendar, pulls K1 video and refers O'Connell name-change to committee
Summary
The board approved the consent calendar by roll call with President Mendoza recording exceptions for certain retroactive items; item K1 (a John O'Connell High School video) was pulled for separate consideration and received a majority yes (Mendoza voted no); the superintendent's proposal to shorten John O'Connell Alternative High School of Technology to John O'Connell High School was referred to Buildings and Grounds.
The Board of Education moved and seconded the consent calendar and conducted roll-call votes. The consent calendar passed by roll call with most members voting yes; President Mendoza recorded exceptions for items K8, K9, K10, K12 and K13 because they were retroactive.
Item K1, a promotional video submitted by John O'Connell High School, was pulled for separate consideration by the board. When the board took roll call on K1, the motion carried with a majority of votes in favor and President Mendoza voting no on that item.
Separately, the superintendent introduced a proposal (SP1) to simplify the permanent name "John O'Connell Alternative High School of Technology" to "John O'Connell High School." The motion was made and seconded and the board referred the item to the Buildings and Grounds committee for further consideration rather than adopting the name change at the meeting.
These actions were procedural approvals, votes to pass the consent calendar and a referral for the naming proposal; no substantive changes to program policy were enacted at this meeting's public session.
