Board amends minutes to request more frequent McKinney-Vento and truancy data
Summary
Board members unanimously adopted a friendly amendment to the minutes to record a request for future truancy and McKinney-Vento reports that include multiple comparison dates and more frequent updates throughout the year.
At the outset of the meeting the board moved to correct and approve earlier minutes; during that review S2 (Matt) proposed changing a sentence about McKinney-Vento and truancy reporting to better reflect the discussion. Matt said, "There was discussion and a request that future reports contain multiple dates for comparison," and asked that the board receive that data more frequently than once a year.
Board members debated whether the original language already covered the request and whether it would create a binding directive. Several members said the new wording better reflected the intent to review multiple years and intra-year data points so trends could be assessed. The chair offered a friendly rewording that combined requests for more frequent reports with an emphasis on additional data points; the board accepted the friendly amendment and approved the corrected minutes by unanimous vote.
