The Grayslake CCSD 46 Board of Education took several formal actions March 18, voting by roll call on consent and multiple action items. For each motion the board recorded aye votes from the members present (Miller, Mack, Halverson, Heughan); absent members were noted during roll call earlier in the meeting.

Vote records and tallies
Where roll-call votes were recorded in the transcript, the members recorded saying "Aye" were: Miller, Mack, Halverson and Heughan. The transcript does not provide explicit ‘‘no’’ or ‘‘abstain’’ votes for these motions; absences were noted earlier in roll call.
Notes
- The transcript shows the board approved these items during the action-item portion of the March 18 meeting; administration and some trustees noted follow-up items (e.g., detailed energy-savings accounting and answers from Organic Life about local sourcing) would come back to the board at future meetings.
- The board did not finalize staffing reductions at this meeting; the staffing plan was presented and discussed separately and generated extended public comment.
