Board adopts non-business calendar, considers SB 11 prayer resolution and approves amended election order
Summary
Trustees approved a resolution setting 2026 non-business calendar days and an amended order of election for May 2, 2026. The minutes record consideration of an SB 11 resolution on daily prayer time with inconsistent motion language and a recorded 0-7 vote noted in the minutes.
The board considered several policy items on Feb. 23. Superintendent Dr. Alicia Sigee discussed district communication expectations. Trustees approved a proposed resolution establishing 2026 Non-Business Calendar Days; the motion by Donny Teate Jr. and second by Gina Yeaman passed with a 7-0 recorded vote.
The board also took up a proposed SB 11 Resolution on Daily Prayer Time. The minutes record a motion by Donny Teate Jr. followed by an unusual notation, "Not to make a Motion was declined," and then record a vote showing 0 in favor and 7 opposed with the minutes stating "Motion Carries." The minutes contain inconsistent language regarding motion intent and outcome; the recorded tally shows seven opposed. Finally, the board approved an Amended Order of Election for May 2, 2026 by motion of Linda Platt-Bryant and a second from Rodrick Robertson, with a recorded 7-0 vote in favor.
Because the minutes contain inconsistent phrasing about the SB 11 motion and its result, reporters and members of the public seeking clarity should request the official minutes or audio/video from the district for an authoritative record.
