Board approves consent agenda, AEA services agreement and a second reading of policies

The Burlington Community School District board conducted routine business on Jan. 26 and recorded several formal actions.

Consent agenda: An unnamed board member moved to approve the consent agenda, which included previously paid bills of $464,801.40, unpaid bills of $551,342.99, P‑card (BMO) purchases of $42,665.48 and gifts totaling $540. The board voted by voice and the motion passed.

AEA services agreement: A board member moved and another seconded approval of the Area Education Agency services agreement for 2026–2027, which covers instructional consultants (literacy, math, school improvement specialists) and access to AEA digital and media resources. During the voice vote one member recorded an abstention; the motion passed.

Board policies: Lisa Johnson presented the second reading of board policies 106 through 711.02. A board member moved for approval and another seconded; the board approved the second reading. Leadership announced that a public comment form associated with the policy process will be placed on the district website and in the boardroom clipboard for members of the public who wish to speak at meetings.

Adjournment: Following reports and a superintendent search update, the board moved to adjourn the regular meeting and enter a work session after a five‑minute recess; the motion passed by voice vote.

The meeting record does not show roll‑call vote tallies by name for the consent agenda or policy vote; the AEA agreement vote included an abstention but the transcript does not list a complete named roll call. The board asked staff to provide follow‑up materials and schedules related to grants and the superintendent search timeline.
