School board approves professional staff recommendation, allows remote trustee to vote
Summary
At a special called meeting Monday, March 3, the school board approved a professional staff recommendation after returning from an executive session and voted to allow Trustee Craig Stavender to participate by phone; the acceptance passed 5-2.
The school board convened a special called meeting Monday, March 3, and approved a professional staff recommendation after returning from an executive session, Chair Strobel said.
The action followed a motion by a committee member to enter executive session to discuss two items: employment matters and legal advice related to property and contractual matters. A committee member moved “that we enter to executive session for item 2.01 and 2.02,” and the board moved into the closed session.
After returning to open session, a committee member proposed that board member Craig Stavender, who had joined by phone earlier in the meeting, be allowed to participate in and have his votes count in open-session business. The committee member said the motion was “that he be included in the participation of, the votes that follow in open session.” Chair Strobel called for the voice vote and the motion passed.
Later, a committee member moved to accept the professional staff recommendation for item number 1; another committee member seconded the motion. Chair Strobel called for the vote and announced the result: “we have, 5 ayes and we have 2 nays. Motion carries.” The transcript does not specify the substance of item number 1 beyond the staff recommendation language noted on the agenda.
Chair Strobel also used the meeting to confirm calendar adjustments: students will have full days Thursday and Friday to make up a prior snow day; a policy committee meeting is scheduled for March 10 at 4 p.m., a special board meeting at 5 p.m. the same day, the committee of the whole will meet Tuesday at 5 p.m., and the regular March meeting will be held March 18 at 6 p.m.
Miss Williams, a staff member, announced that the district’s CNA students will be featured at the county council meeting the next day and reminded the board of student recognition at 6 p.m. in County Chambers on March 11.
The board adjourned after a motion to adjourn passed by voice vote.
