The board approved these actions by roll call; Members DeMay, Dev, DeBord, Christiansen and Steffen voted aye on the items recorded as approved.
A listed condition in the record notes that all hires are contingent upon candidates obtaining required certification and qualifications prior to starting. The meeting record also shows a separate volunteer approval (Amy Dev for KHS band) passed by roll call with four ayes and one abstention (Member Dev). The transcript does not record a reason for the abstention; it should not be assumed to indicate a conflict without further information.
