Summary
The Hermiston School District 8 board approved multiple policy updates on consent but agreed to postpone policy IKF (graduation exercises) because of formatting/footnote issues; the board will renumber footnotes when posted online and return IKF for later action.
Unidentified Speaker 3 moved that the board approve listed policies on the consent agenda but remove policy IKF (graduation exercises) for formatting corrections; the motion was seconded and carried by voice/hand vote.
Board discussion clarified that communications handed to the board chair did not constitute formal written testimony and that online footnotes will be renumbered when posted. A board member asked whether policies would continue to be handled as consent items; staff confirmed IKF was on its third reading and delays were procedural to allow formatting fixes rather than substantive change.
The motion on the floor listed several policy codes to be approved and explicitly postponed IKF to ensure correct footnote numbering and clarity before final adoption.
