Board approves feasibility study with Porter to explore reorganization; cost-sharing agreed
Summary
The school board approved a feasibility study to be conducted jointly with Porter Board of Education, agreeing to split costs beyond state reimbursement; one board member recorded a 'no' vote during roll call.
The A-C Central board voted to approve a joint feasibility study with Porter Board of Education to examine potential reorganization options, including consolidation, deactivation, or other reorganization models. Chair S2 framed the motion as splitting all costs above any state reimbursement; the motion was moved by Carissa and seconded by Dana.
During roll call a board member (recorded in the transcript as Jennifer) voted no while the motion otherwise carried. The board asked staff to coordinate with Porter, obtain clear cost estimates and timelines from the feasibility vendor, and to ensure that the study includes objective comparisons rather than presuming a single outcome. The chair reminded members that any final structural change would require community approval and likely a ballot process.
