Board approves overnight trips, sunshine agreements and revised investment policy

The Birmingham Community Charter High District board approved multiple consent and action items, including overnight field trips, successor and sunshine agreements, and a revised investment policy statement.

On the consent agenda, trustees approved the credit-card and check register and the regular quarterly minutes for November by consensus. The board then voted to approve overnight field trips for girls cross-country and baseball (San Diego/La Crosse tournament) after a motion, second and voice vote; the motion carried.

Board members moved through several contract and personnel-related items: approval of complaints monitoring for the 25-26 school year, authorization to negotiate successor agreements for specified articles for the 26-27 year, and acknowledgment or approval of successor agreements and CEU-related items listed in the agenda. The board approved the Birmingham Sunshine articles with UTRA for 26-27 and acknowledged the CEU successor agreement that expires 06/30/2026.

A revised investment policy statement was discussed and approved; a formal roll call was recorded (Doris read members and their votes). The meeting record shows individual yes votes for those present during the roll call.

Board chair closed the consent/action portion with the motions approved and no further discussion recorded on the floor.
