Board approves student voter registration policy and deletes three older policies; all votes unanimous
Summary
The Ithaca board unanimously adopted Policy 5605 (student voter registration and preregistration) and approved deletion of three older policies/procedures (damage to property, student activities, school lunch procedures); numbers of individual votes were not recorded in the public transcript.
The Ithaca City School District board moved, seconded and unanimously approved several policy actions during the meeting.
Policy 5605 (student voter registration and preregistration) was presented for second reading and adoption; a motion was made and seconded and the chair announced the vote was unanimous. The board also approved deletion of three older policies/procedures: damage to property (Policy 5311 4.4), student activities (Policy 5250) and the procedures for school lunch tied to Policy 5601; the chair said the deletions passed unanimously.
Why it matters: the student voter registration policy formalizes the district’s role in amplifying voter registration and preregistration efforts for eligible students, while the deletions clear obsolete procedures from the code. The chair said school lunch procedures will be rewritten and returned to the board.
Votes and next steps: the transcript records unanimous outcomes but does not list individual roll‑call tallies. The minutes and BoardDocs record will supply formal vote counts and the revised school lunch policy will return to the board for review.
