Clark Public Schools board approves routine personnel and finance items; no public comments
Summary
At a brief public meeting, the Clark Public Schools Board approved personnel items 1–3 and finance items 4–6, with one abstention on the finance votes. The board heard no public testimony and adjourned the meeting the same evening.
The Clark Public Schools Board of Education approved routine personnel items and a set of finance measures at a short public meeting and heard no public testimony before adjourning.
Chair opened the meeting with a statement that adequate notice had been provided under PL 1975, chapter 231 and led the Pledge of Allegiance. The chair then called the roll and confirmed a quorum before opening the floor to public comment on agenda items; no members of the public spoke. "At this time, I will open the floor to the public for agenda items only," the chair said when inviting comment.
On personnel agenda items 1–3 the chair asked for a motion and second; the transcript records the names Mr. Smorol and Mr. May in that exchange. The roll call shows affirmative votes from Ms. Climes, Mr. Ben-Shimon, Mr. Brehm, Ms. Hickman, Mr. May, Ms. McCarrick, Ms. Melnik and Mr. Smorol. The motion for items 1–3 passed with all recorded votes "Yes."
Under finance, the board asked for a motion and second for items 4–6. The transcript records "Yes" votes from Ms. Klusner, Mr. Ben Schwanger, Mr. Breedy, Mr. Hickman, Mr. Mack, Mr. Malik and Mr. Schwarm. The transcript also records Mr. McCarrick stating he would "Abstain from all items." The meeting record notes Ms. Harrison and Mr. Donkersloot as absent for that vote. The finance motion therefore passed with seven recorded "Yes" votes, one abstention and two absences.
The chair then opened a general public hearing; after no substantive comments, a motion to adjourn (moved by Mr. Hickman and seconded by Mr. Mack) carried on a voice vote. The meeting ended with the chair thanking attendees and wishing them a pleasant evening.
The board referenced the meeting notice requirements under PL 1975, chapter 231 and section 13 of that act at the start of the meeting. No additional discussion, amendments or directions to staff were recorded in the transcript.
What’s next: There were no public comments and no further scheduled items recorded in the transcript; the board adjourned after completing the listed personnel and finance votes.
