Board approves consent agenda; one member abstains on two items citing conflict

The D.C. Everest Area School District board handled its consent agenda in two separate votes March 19. Board member Katie Felch moved and Joshua Dickerson seconded approval of the consent agenda excluding items L and N; that motion passed by roll call, 6–0 with one absent. Later, Larry Schaefer moved and Joshua Dickerson seconded a separate motion to approve items L and N. That second motion passed with a recorded abstention by Katie Felch who noted a conflict.
The minutes record the roll call tallies: the first consent motion passed 6 yea, 0 nay, 1 absent; the second passed 5 yea, 0 nay, 1 absent, 1 abstain (with conflict). The minutes list standard consent components (minutes approval; employment/resignations/contract adjustments; treasurer's report; balance sheet; budget transfers/revisions; grant applications; fundraising; gifts/bequests; bus accident report; policy second readings; college-credit requests; senior high start college now request). The public minutes do not elaborate on the nature of the conflict that prompted the abstention.
