The Board is meeting twice a month, due to the elimination of citizen committees.
Discussed Policy #114 – Harassment – Susan Fox provided new language and topic will be discussed at a future meeting.
Amended Board Policy #622.2 – Fund Balance
MOTION: Peter Sobol moved to approve the following language “In the event an approved budget projects a fund balance of less than 15% at the end of the fiscal year, the Board shall develop a plan to return the fund balance to a 15% minimum.” Jill List seconded. Motion failed after a roll call vote: Ace, Manning, Fox & Norton voted nay. McCutchin, List & Sobol voted aye.
On July 20, 2009, the Board amended Policy #151 on School Board Policy Adoption, Revision and Deletion. Now, Susan Fox requested a rescission of the previous action because some Board members were confused and claimed lack of opportunity to fully consider the repercussions of the policy change.
MOTION: Susan Manning moved to rescind the action from the July 20 meeting and Jessica Ace seconded. Motion failed after a roll call vote: Ace, List, McCuthin & Sobol voted nay. Fox, Manning & Norton voted aye.
Susan Fox stated that because an amendment to this policy was previously approved with no written language, it was now necessary to approve the language to accomplish the policy change.
MOTION: Lionel Norton moved approval of Board Policy 151 – School Board Policy Adoption, Revision and Deletions as presented. Peter Sobol seconded. Susan Fox stated for the record that although she did not support the policy change, she believed the language before the Board accurately reflected the intended change and she would therefore vote to approve. Susan Manning stated that she opposed the change and would not support the motion. The motion carried.
The Board conducted a variety of other board business, which can be found in the minutes on the district website.
