Summary

The board approved the renewal of the district's Discovery Education streaming license, and took votes on consent‑agenda items including minutes and standard contract renewals; motions carried by voice votes or roll calls as recorded.

The board approved a contract renewal for Discovery Education, the district's primary digital streaming library and teacher‑resource platform that the curriculum team said has been in use for about 15 years. Staff explained licensing and summer access limitations; board members asked about license counts and desktop access for review. The motion to renew the Discovery Education license passed on a voice vote.

The board then approved the consent agenda (minutes from April and May meetings and standard contract renewals) by voice vote. Members who had earlier logged abstentions on curriculum items used roll call voting during later motions; recorded votes were used for some curriculum decisions but the Discovery Education renewal and consent items were approved via standard procedures and voice votes.
