The Carroll School District board approved several routine actions and scheduling items at its meeting Monday night.

By voice vote the board agreed to skip the regular December meeting this year; members discussed heavy school calendars and concluded the board could instead attend school events during that period.

The board then moved, seconded and approved the second readings of policies AC and JFCEB, authorized removal of policy JHC and advanced policy EBB to first reading. During that discussion board members asked clarifying questions about nurse coverage and about permitted use of personal electronic devices during field trips and extracurricular activities; staff explained the district has one nurse based at the middle school who supports other sites and that instruction provided by external providers requires submitted lesson plans for reimbursement.

Under the agenda addition earlier in the meeting, the board also cast the district's single vote for its nominee to the OSBA legislative policy committee; a motion to cast the vote passed by voice vote. The board recorded that action for the OSBA ballot.

What happens next: staff will share the audit report with the board in January when it is completed, provide updates on the EdFlex/online program and continue to bring policy items back through required readings.
