Board ratifies memorandum of understanding with teachers on community schools after reconsideration
Summary
Trustees ratified an MOU between Natomas Unified and the Natomas Teachers Association on community schools after an initial roll‑call that produced abstentions and a successful motion to reconsider; the final vote was 5–0.
The Natomas Unified School District board ratified a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the Natomas Teachers Association regarding community schools after an initial procedural hiccup and subsequent reconsideration.
During the first roll call on the item, two trustees recorded abstentions and the president said the motion did not pass. Trustee Hardin then moved to reconsider the vote; the motion for reconsideration carried 5–0. The board then reconsidered the MOU and, on the second roll call, approved the agreement by a 5–0 vote.
President Grant guided the procedural steps and called the rolls. Trustees who voted in favor on the final vote included Trustees Dasek, Hardin, Mora and Swalom; one trustee initially abstained but later participated in the reconsideration and final approval. The board did not elaborate on changes to the MOU during the floor discussion in the transcript; the packet and the posted agenda materials contain the MOU text for detail.
Trustees said they appreciated the collaborative work behind the MOU and moved quickly to effect re‑consideration and a final vote so the district could proceed with community‑schools planning and implementation.
