Summary

Trustees voted unanimously to adopt the consent agenda with two out-of-state travel items pulled; later the board approved two travel requests (Cisco and RTM conferences) after discussion of costs and presentation roles.

At the Nov. 18 meeting the Litchfield Elementary School District governing board adopted the consent agenda with two travel items pulled for separate discussion and then approved two out‑of‑state travel requests.

Board member Moran asked that items 6.1 and 6.11 (out‑of‑state travel requests) be removed from the consent agenda for discussion. The board then adopted the consent agenda minus those items. Motion to adopt the amended consent agenda was moved by Mister Owens, seconded by Mister Mikes and passed unanimously.

Item 7.1: Cisco training (weeklong). Trustees asked whether Cisco was the right platform and whether the district’s network strategy justified the expense. An IT presenter said the district has been migrating to Cisco through E‑Rate purchases and that the conference offers deep technical training and direct access to Cisco engineers. Moran said the training appeared reasonable in lieu of consultant costs. Moran moved to approve item 7.1; the motion passed unanimously.

Item 7.2: RTM conference. Presenters said district staff are presenting at RTM and that the event covers some presenter fees, meaning minimal district cost. Moran moved to approve item 7.2; the motion passed unanimously.

Vote totals: each motion recorded a unanimous board vote (five yes, zero no).
