At its May meeting, the Hickman Mills C-1 Board of Education approved a slate of motions covering contract renewals, program continuations and a facilities repair. Below is a concise list of motions the board passed by roll call during the meeting.

Notes on votes and tallies: The transcript records roll-call approvals for each item, but the meeting record provided does not consistently print a complete named tally for every motion; where individual board members’ positions were recorded (for example the I‑Ready roll call shows an abstention and a 'no' vote), those are noted in the full meeting transcript. For any item where detailed tallies were not read into the record, the outcome is recorded here as "approved" per the board’s roll call.
Follow-ups: For several program renewals the board requested additional reporting (notably for assessment platforms and the Lumi pilot); administration committed to return with outcome and fidelity data in future board meetings.
