Summary

The board approved the annual financial report, adopted ASBA policy advisories, adopted the consent agenda, proclaimed School Bus Safety Week and National School Lunch Week, and rescheduled November's meeting to Nov. 18, 2025.

YUMA, Ariz. — At its Oct. 14 meeting the Yuma Elementary District 1 governing board approved routine business and several proclamations. Key votes taken during the session included:

- Consent agenda: adopted by voice vote (motion moved and seconded). Several items were on the consent list; the job description for the proposed behavior specialist pilot was noted as appearing on page 90 of the consent packet.

- ASBA policy advisories (8‑19 through 9‑14): board adopted the recommended policy updates. Staff noted the advisories are posted on the district website and are intended to reflect changes in law. (Reference: ASBA advisories.)

- Annual Financial Report (AFR) for fiscal year 2024–25: approved in accordance with ARS 15‑904. Finance staff presented M&O and capital balances and explained differences between May revision projections and AFR totals.

- School Bus Safety Week resolution (Oct. 20–24, 2025): approved after a transportation update noting more than 300 stop‑arm/stop‑sign incidents reported this school year and collaboration with local law enforcement; staff highlighted fines and possible driver license consequences for violations.

- National School Lunch Week proclamation (Oct. 14–17, 2025): board approved a proclamation recognizing National School Lunch Week; the child nutrition coordinator described theme menus and scratch‑made items.

- Reschedule November meeting: the board moved the Nov. 11 meeting (Veterans Day) to Tuesday, Nov. 18, 2025; staff were asked to post the change on the district website.

Most votes were recorded as voice votes and the meeting transcript reports board members saying "aye" rather than a recorded roll call count. When a roll call or individual vote name was not given the minutes note a voice approval in the record.

Next steps: staff to post the Nov. 18 change on the website, finish the audit work related to the AFR and provide the rollup AFR materials the board requested.
