Board hears excess-levy update and tightens legal‑update practice
Summary
Superintendent reminded voters that early voting for the district excess levy begins tomorrow and Election Day is May 12; the superintendent and legal staff said they will no longer list vague 'legal updates' on agendas without specifying cases to satisfy Sunshine Law notice requirements.
Superintendent (speaker 12) updated the board on the district's excess-levy campaign, reminding members that early voting begins tomorrow at 9 a.m. (locations cited: the old mall and Mason Park) and that Election Day is May 12. The levy co‑chair had recently discussed the campaign on local radio, and the superintendent said the committee remains active.
On legal process, the superintendent said staff will stop listing a generic "legal update" as a standing agenda item unless they specify the particular case that could prompt an executive session. "We need to do that just to alert the public that we would be talking about a particular case," the superintendent said, adding that staff (Jennifer and the superintendent) will review agendas to ensure Sunshine Law notice is adequate.
The board did not take further action on the levy update at the meeting and set May 13 for its next meeting before adjourning.
