Board members agree to refile prior legislative resolution before Sept. 8 deadline

Board members discussed a deadline to submit legislative resolutions to the state school boards association and to the legislature and agreed to send the same proposal language the board used previously.

One board member said the due date for any legislative resolutions to be forwarded by the school board to the state association and the legislature is Sept. 8 and noted the board did not have a meeting before that date. Another member said they would work together informally as a small committee and circulate the prior resolution language for submission.

Board members voiced agreement in open session but did not record a formal motion or vote to adopt new language; the transcript shows a member saying “So do I have everyone's permission? I'll send that,” followed by a verbal yes. The item was handled as direction among members rather than as a formal, recorded board action.

The board did not specify which senator or legislative office would receive the document at the meeting, nor did it produce the resolution text in open session. The board scheduled no additional public meeting to consider changes prior to the Sept. 8 deadline.
