Committee records unanimous voice votes on nine criteria and adopts final plans
Summary
The committee moved through the State's nine reorganization criteria, took separate motions and voice votes on each, and adopted the final plans and recommendations; individual roll‑call tallies were not recorded in the transcript.
During the April 28 meeting, the committee considered each of the State's nine statutory criteria for school district reorganization in sequence (adequate enrollment; community identity; equitable division of assets; nondiscriminatory impact; no increase to state costs; sound educational program; insignificant facility costs; not designed to increase property values; and continuing sound fiscal status). A motion and a second were made for each criterion and each was approved by voice vote; the committee then took the final motions to adopt the plans and recommendations.
Trustee and committee speakers repeatedly called for an "aye" then recorded the item as approved. Committee members did not record detailed individual tallies in the transcript; the meeting record indicates the motions carried by voice. The committee directed staff to assemble the full record of testimony, letters and tape for submission to the State Board of Education.
