Alexandria school board removes two grant items from Jan. 26 agenda
Summary
The Alexandria Public Schools Board amended its Jan. 26 agenda to remove two grant‑related items because the board lacked the two‑thirds membership required for those votes; the motion passed unanimously among members present.
School Board Chair Angela Krebs called the Jan. 26 regular meeting to order and the board promptly amended its agenda to excise two grant items that required a supermajority. Laura Knudsen, identified in the record as a board member, moved "to amend the January 26, 2026 agenda to remove item IV.E., Approve Submission of Grant Applications, and IV.F., Adopt Resolution to Accept Donations and Grants, due to an insufficient amount of board members to equal a 2/3 vote." Shawn Reilly seconded the motion and the board recorded Ayes 4, Nays 0.
The procedural change removed two agenda items that would have required a two‑thirds vote; the board did not debate the substance of the grants on the public record that night. The amendment was procedural: the board will need a later meeting with sufficient membership to consider those grant submissions and the related resolution.
