School board approves policy amendments, initial charter contract and consent agenda in unanimous votes
Summary
Board approved a slate of policy amendments, an initial charter-school contract for Hillcrest Academy and adopted the consent agenda; motions were seconded and carried with 5-0 tallies where recorded.
The St. Lucie County School Board unanimously approved multiple policy amendments, adopted an initial charter-school contract and passed its consent agenda during the meeting.
On policy changes, the superintendent recommended the board adopt proposed amendments to a broad set of policies — including policy 2431 (Interscholastic Athletics), 2431.01 (Participation by Transfer Students), 2520 (Selection and Adoption of Instructional Materials), 2623 (student assignment), 3120.03 and 3120.08 (athletic coaches and part-time extracurricular personnel), 3242 (professional learning), 4242 (staff development), 5410.01 (promotion, acceleration, placement and retention), 5463 (credits from other schools), 5465 (GED) and 5505 (academic honesty). A motion was made and seconded and the board voted, "Aye," with the motion recorded as carrying 5-0.
On a separate agenda item, the superintendent recommended approval of the initial charter school contract with "Florida Charter School Organization 2, Inc., DBA Hillcrest Academy Charter School." After a motion and second, the board voted to approve the initial charter contract; the motion was recorded as carrying by voice vote (Aye) and annotated as 5-0.
The board moved and seconded the consent agenda; the superintendent recommended approval and the chair called for the vote. The minutes record the vote as Aye and that the motion carried 5-0.
Procedural matters included a motion on agenda item 20.1 (moved by Dr. Mills and seconded), which the chair called and said the motion carried; the transcript records no detailed tally for that item.
The transcript records the motions and outcomes but does not include the names of individual motion makers or seconders for every vote; where the mover or seconder was not named, the meeting record shows a motion and second and a unanimous voice vote.
