Summary

Trustees approved the consent agenda, updated procurement exemptions effective 07/01/2027, raised the small purchase limit to $10,000 and approved recommended certified and non‑certified positions for FY2627. Votes were taken by voice; specific roll‑call tallies were not provided in the transcript.

The board handled several formal actions during the meeting, including routine approvals and policy updates.

Consent agenda: The board approved consent agenda items (a–d) after a motion and second; the chair called for a voice vote and noted the motion carried.

Procurement exemptions: Finance staff proposed adding safety services, band uniforms and student graduation/recognition items to the district’s procurement exemptions. The board approved the change and set the exemptions to take effect on 07/01/2027.

Small purchase limit: Trustees voted to increase the district’s small purchase limit from $5,000 to $10,000 to align with the state procurement code. Finance staff explained that all purchases will still route through the finance department for review; the change removes the requirement for three quotes on purchases under $10,000.

Personnel and staffing: Human resources presented administrative candidates for 2627 and two certified contract recommendation lists (A and B); the board approved the administrative appointments and both certified lists. Later in the meeting the superintendent requested approval of 45 certified and 8 non‑certified positions to accommodate enrollment growth; the board moved, seconded and approved those positions by voice vote.

Executive session: The board moved into executive session to address personnel matters; the motion specified the reason as 'personnel.' The board returned to open session and adjourned.

Notes on voting: The transcript records motions, seconds and voice votes for each action, but it does not provide roll‑call tallies or member‑level votes in the record provided.
