Fayetteville board approves FY24 budget adjustments, AI policy and administrative procedures
Summary
In a single meeting the board approved three FY24 budget amendments, adopted policy 4.214 on AI use on second reading, approved a disciplinary hearing authority list and accepted an updated evaluation instrument for the director of schools; all items passed on voice votes.
The Fayetteville City School Board approved several procedural and fiscal items during its regular August meeting, including three FY24 budget amendments, adoption of a district policy on the use of artificial intelligence, approval of the Disciplinary Hearing Authority (DHA) list and adoption of an updated performance-evaluation instrument for the director of schools.
Board members approved FY24 capital line-item amendment number 2, described as an end-of-year reallocation with no new revenue or expense, after a motion and second. The board then approved FY24 general-purpose budget line-item amendment number 7, which finalized how state-provided parental-leave funding should be categorized following state guidance. Both amendments passed by voice vote.
The board also approved FY24 general-purpose budget amendment number 6, a reallocation of funds related to the ISM grant; the superintendent noted that amendment 6 will require approval by the city as part of the closing process.
On policy, a board member moved to approve policy 4.214, "use of artificial intelligence programs," on second reading; the policy had been circulated to members in advance and passed on voice vote.
Superintendent Jones presented the list of staff members designated to serve on the district's Disciplinary Hearing Authority; the board moved, seconded and approved the DHA list by voice vote.
Finally, the board reviewed and approved an updated instrument to conduct the annual performance evaluation of the director of schools for the 2024–25 school year; the chair said the instrument was updated with dates and would be used this year.
All of the above items were approved by voice vote; individual roll-call tallies were not recorded in the transcript.
Next steps: amendment 6 will be forwarded to the city for its approval as required, and staff will implement the budget code adjustments and policy updates.
