Summary
The board adopted the district’s final 2025 levy, reviewed annual policy items and approved several policy first readings; Policy 712 (digital surveillance) was presented as a first reading and will return for action at a subsequent meeting.
Finance staff asked the board to adopt final levy amounts discussed at prior meetings and presented the final levy figure for 2025. Staff stated the final levy would be $15,000,009.49 (and noted a 7.8% increase from the prior year in accompanying remarks). The board moved, seconded and voted to approve the final levy as presented.
Policy staff presented annual reviews for policies with no substantive changes and recommended approval; the board approved annual review items (for example, policy 02/2008) and also approved first readings for policies 306, 501, 606 and 722 where substantive changes require an additional meeting. Policy 712 (digital surveillance) was presented as a first reading and will be before the board for a second reading and potential approval at a subsequent meeting.
Additional routine agenda items included approval of retirements, claims and a school charter revision. The board approved retirements presented at the meeting and accepted claims as part of the consent flow.
Next steps: Policy 712 will return for a second reading and further review before any action; finance staff will proceed with levy implementation as required.
