The chair offered to circulate the final letter and suggested including a link in the meeting notes if the board approved joining.
Don Collins moved that the board join the Franklin County School Boards letter and a second was recorded. The board approved the motion by voice vote; the chair announced the motion carried 8-0. The district will provide the letter and related materials to the public and include a link in board notes.
