Summary

The board voted 5–0 (with two members absent) to approve the consent agenda, which included financial reports, policy exhibits, adding an additional solar farm to the district's community solar subscription, and an intergovernmental agreement for transportation to a Springfield school for one student.

The Decatur Board of Education voted to approve the consent calendar, which the superintendent read aloud and described to the board. The package included minutes from July meetings, the June financial and treasurer reports, release of July checks early, approval of policies and exhibits, "the community solar subscription agreement, which is in addition to the existing solar agreement to include an additional solar farm," and an intergovernmental agreement between Decatur Public Schools District 61 and CUSD #2 for transportation to Hope School in Springfield for a student requiring that service.

A board member moved and a second was recorded; the chair called the vote and the clerk read the tally: "5 aye. 0 nay. 2 absent. Motion carried." The superintendent and board members did not expand on the solar subscription or the IGA during the vote; staff indicated those items were presented as part of the consent packet.
