Board adopts amended NEOLA policy on memorials after multiple amendments, 6-1
Summary
The board adopted NEOLA policy 7250.01 (Memorials) after approving two amendments and rejecting a third; the final motion carried 6-1.
The board considered NEOLA policy updates and conducted votes on Policy 7250.01 (Memorials). An amendment proposed by Steve Duane and supported by Lacy Harding — which struck a portion of the unacceptable memorials language — passed unanimously. A second amendment changing the last sentence under Acceptable Memorials to limit display of cards or banners to up to five school days after an incident was approved 5-2 (motion by Bryan Droscha; supported by Matt Bennett). A further amendment to strike item I under unacceptable memorials (moved by Matt Bennett) failed 2-5. After the amendment votes the board approved policy 7250.01 as amended by a 6-1 vote (motion by Liz Evans; supported by Christopher Mumby).
Minutes record the sequence of amendment motions and the final 6-1 approval. The minutes do not include full policy text or the specific language of the amendments beyond the changes noted; board members debated amendment language before the recorded votes.
