Summary
The board approved a multi-item consent agenda covering contracts, bid awards, MOUs and policy items and later took a recusal on a $50,000+ purchase item (7.J); the consent package passed 6-0 (excluding 7.J) and item 7.J passed 5-0 with a recusal.
The Board approved a broad consent agenda that included budget amendments, multiple bid awards (maintenance supplies, educational consultants, software and local retailer merchandise), MOUs with Head Start and partner districts, the 2026–2027 student handbook and code of conduct, acceptance of gifts over $50,000, library purchases and prior meeting minutes.
