Notes: Several items were informational or first reads (for example, K–12 math competencies was a first read and will return for final action). Where the transcript records "unanimous" the clerk recorded all-in-favor; where abstentions were noted (minutes), the minutes did not list individual names. The board did not adopt any immediate policy on classroom screen time at this meeting; that discussion was referred back to administration for further analysis and cost estimates.
