Board waives second reading and approves policy on outside ABA therapy
Summary
Blount County board voted to waive the second reading and approve Board Policy 6.4053 governing outside applied behavioral analysis (ABA) therapy, enabling immediate implementation.
The Blount County board voted to waive the second reading and adopt Board Policy 6.4053 on outside applied behavioral analysis (ABA) therapy, allowing the policy to be implemented immediately.
A committee member moved that the board waive the policy’s second reading and approve it that night. "For the same reasons, I would like to make a recommendation that we waive the 2nd reading on this, and that we vote to approve it and implement it tonight," the committee member said. The chair called for a second and the board approved the amended motion by voice vote.
The transcript shows the board handled this item as a single-step adoption by waiving a formal second reading; no roll-call vote totals or detailed policy provisions were recorded in the transcript. The board moved on to a subsequent agenda item concerning state legislation on displaying historical documents, which it directed staff to research further.
