Board approves accounts payable; one trustee excludes cyber charter payments from their vote
Summary
The board approved routine accounts payable but a trustee stated her 'yes' excluded any line items for cyber charter school payments and cited recent litigation in Philadelphia challenging cyber charter funding.
The board moved to approve accounts payable and carried the motion following standard procedure. During discussion, one trustee (Speaker 7) explicitly noted concern about cyber charter school payments and said her affirmative vote excluded those line items: "my yes vote to this item does not include any of the line items for cyber charter school payments." She referenced a court ruling in Philadelphia that she characterized as a victory for district funding fairness and suggested the decision could spur similar litigation or review elsewhere.
The motion to pay the district's bills was then carried on a recorded voice vote. The transcript does not show any amendment or change to payment totals; the trustee's statement stands as a recorded position on cyber charter funding line items in accounts payable.
