Public speaker urges board to file petition with county and discusses contract process
Summary
An unidentified speaker urged the board to bring a petition to the county for review and described a process for drafting and sending a contract to the county board executive and superintendent; no formal motion or vote appears in the transcript.
Unidentified Speaker 1 urged the board to 'bring it up for a review and send it to the county,' saying the board had to show 'courage' to pursue the petition. The speaker discussed contract timing and notice provisions, referencing "the state statute," and said contracts can be renegotiated or amended at any time rather than waiting for elected officials to be sworn in.
Speaker 1 described a process in which the board could draft a contract with required legal language, "send it to the the county board executive, superintendent, and then bring it back to [the] board on it." The transcript does not record a formal motion, second or a recorded vote on sending a petition or on a contract at this meeting.
Unidentified Speaker 2 later urged colleagues to "come together" and make a decision that would help children and the community. Speaker 1 closed by saying the matter "shall be discussed on the call in session before the program," indicating the issue will be revisited in a follow-up session.
