Blackhawk board tables three unbudgeted items after debate over chiller; approves consent agenda
Summary
The Blackhawk School Board voted to table three unbudgeted consent items for further funding review and approved the remainder of the consent agenda. One board member opposed tabling the high-cost chiller project and said it should proceed; the motion carried and the full consent agenda was then approved.
The Blackhawk School Board on Tuesday voted to table three consent agenda items — identified as items 9.7, 10.2 and 14.4 — and then approved the remainder of the consent agenda.
Chair (name not specified in the record) told the board that administration should return with funding-neutral recommendations for the three items. "I'd like to note that we table items 9.7, 10.2, and 14.4," the chair said, asking the administration to perform additional development and funding analysis before any action.
During debate, Doctor McCozzi said she would vote against tabling the chiller (agenda item 14.4). "I'm gonna say no on the chiller because we've been discussing that for a long time, quite honestly. And I think it's time to get that done," she said, urging the board to proceed on that facilities purchase.
The clerk conducted a roll-call vote after the motion was seconded; the chair announced, "Motion carries 6 yes or no," indicating the motion passed. The board then moved on to the full consent agenda; after a motion and second, the chair called for a voice vote and said the motion passed.
The action leaves the three named items set aside for additional administrative work and financial justification; the record shows the board asked staff to return these items with options intended to be budget neutral for the 2025–26 school year. The record does not provide a complete roll-call tally for every member on the tabling motion beyond the clerk's announcement that the motion carried.
Next steps: administration was directed to prepare further funding analysis and bring back recommendations for the tabled items; the board scheduled a work session on 09/11/2025 where follow-up may be considered.
