Summary

The board approved the consent agenda, and advanced first readings for the annual student population analysis procedures (7G1), electronic-devices policy (8A24), student travel (8A18) and fees (8A3); staff will publish administrative memoranda and follow up on implementation details.

The board took a set of formal actions during the meeting:

• Consent agenda: The board moved and seconded a motion to approve the consent agenda; one member voiced opposition to a contract (identified in discussion as the TTFX contract), but the motion carried.

• Policy actions (all approved as first readings): - 7G1: Annual student population analysis procedures — approved as a first reading with a wording amendment clarifying notice should be "at least 90 days." The board emphasized that administrative procedures will provide additional detail and that the district historically provides community input earlier than the statutory minimum. - 8A24: Electronic devices and acceptable use of technology — approved as a first reading with amendments (including an insertion noting compliance with state law in section C7); board members requested that Administrative Memorandum 130 be finalized and published to clarify enforcement and exceptions. - 8A18: Student travel — approved as a first reading to reflect legislative changes allowing fee-waiver coverage for one out‑of‑state overnight trip per year; a second overnight trip requires a school action plan. - 8A3: Fees in public schools — approved as a first reading with a cross-reference to the updated student travel policy.

Votes were taken by voice in open session and each motion was recorded as "motion carries" in the transcript; the transcript does not list individual recorded tallies by name.
