Summary
At its Dec. 3 meeting the Westwood Heights Schools Board unanimously approved finance and personnel reports, the district course catalog, continued participation in the collaborative school-choice program, and voted to opt in to the 31AA resolution; motions carried 6-0.
The Westwood Heights Schools Board of Education unanimously approved a set of routine reports and program items at its Dec. 3 meeting and voted to opt in to a state funding resolution.
Motion by Johnson, supported by Fykes, carried on votes recorded by roll call as yes from Bransford, Coburn, Fikes, Johnson, Roberts and Walker (Turner absent) to approve the treasurer's and secretary's reports, the personnel report and the district course catalog for 2025–26. The board also approved continued participation in the Collaborative School of Choice Program for 2025–26.
In discussion of a state funding option labeled the "31AA" resolution, board members heard that opting in would preserve access to funds while allowing the district to rescind the decision if legislative language changes. The board voted 6-0 to opt in, with the option to opt out by Dec. 30 if needed. No members voted against the motions. The meeting minutes record the board's total accounts payable and fund balances: General Fund $671,100.67; Athletics $18,268.68; Food Service $47,826.59; and total accounts payable roughly $744,392.58.
Board President Deborah Roberts called the motions in sequence and the board took each action as a single roll-call vote. The approvals were described by members as routine approvals necessary to keep the district's business operations and programs moving forward.
