Procedural notes and next steps Most items passed with brief or no discussion and were approved by roll call. The board scheduled follow-up and workshops as needed (budget meeting April 13; middle school discussion April 20). The board adjourned after the director’s comments and brief member remarks.
The meeting did not authorize the Touchdown Club supplements or the Warner Athletics field contract; both items require additional review or were tabled.
