What this means: Most items were routine renewals and contract approvals intended to maintain operations for the upcoming school year. Several items (Infinite Campus, Amplify/CKLA, Bullseye) involved additional board discussion about implementation and instructional continuity.
If you need more detail on any single motion (costs, contract language, or follow-up tasks), staff asked directors to request a Friday report or return item where indicated.
