Board approves consent agendas with several no votes and abstentions; superintendent consent item 5e tabled

MIDDLETOWN — Trustees moved through multiple consent agendas during the meeting and took roll call votes on several grouped items.

The chair called for a motion to approve items on the consent agendas (including business office and superintendent recommendations). Multiple members voiced approval; however, a small number of items drew 'no' votes and abstentions. On the superintendent consent agenda, the chair noted that item 5e was being tabled.

During roll call on the superintendent consent agenda, members recorded their votes with several 'yes' responses and a handful of no votes or abstentions on particular numbered items. One board member said they were "abstaining" on an item they did not want to vote on. Another member objected to a specific 'founded' case letter and indicated a split vote on related subitems.

The meeting record included on‑the‑record references to specific item numbers (as read aloud), and the chair accepted the approvals "unless otherwise stated." The board moved to adopt the approved consent agenda items; the meeting record does not show a motion to untable item 5e during this session.

Summary of formal actions recorded in the meeting: the board moved to enter executive session on HIB and personnel and attorney‑client matters; the board voted to approve multiple consent agenda items (with recorded nos and abstentions on specific numbered items); and item 5e on the superintendent consent agenda was tabled for later consideration.
