Board approves consent agenda; discusses moving to 'Places' elections and facility remodel plans
Summary
Trustees approved the consent agenda (minutes, budget amendments, teacher appraisal calendar) and discussed potential changes to election method from at-large to 'Places' and long-term facility planning — including remodeling the current middle school into Blanche Dodd Elementary and extending the high school renovation budget — as the district plans for 5–7% growth.
Trustee Brooke Fouts moved to approve the consent agenda, which included approval of the July 16, 2025 meeting minutes, budget amendments and adoption of the 2025–2026 Teacher Appraisal Calendar. Trustee Matt Martinez seconded the motion and the item passed unanimously.
In future-agenda discussion, Board President Eric Borchardt asked trustees to consider changing school board elections from at-large seats to 'Places.'

The meeting adjourned at 7:39 p.m.
