Orleans Parish committee advances Resolution 17-26 establishing Black Education History Week to full board
Summary
The Committee of the Whole voted by voice to send Resolution 17-26, establishing New Orleans Black Education History Week, to the full Orleans Parish School Board; the transcript records a voice vote and no roll-call tally.
At the July 28 Committee of the Whole meeting, members voted by voice to send Resolution 17-26 — proposing an annual New Orleans Black Education History Week — to the full Orleans Parish School Board for final consideration.
The chair asked for a motion to move item 4.1 to the full board; a committee member moved to advance the resolution and another seconded. The chair then called for a voice vote: "All those in favor?" — "Aye." "Any opposed?" — "Hearing none, the resolution will move to the full board meeting on Thursday," the chair announced. The transcript records some uncertainty during the call about who seconded the motion; no roll-call vote or numeric tally was recorded in the public transcript.
Per the presenter, the proposed observance would be opt-in for schools and community-funded, with programming planned for Nov. 16–20. The committee did not adopt the resolution at this meeting; it advanced the item for the full board to consider a final vote.
