Minutes show the motions passed, with five yea votes and one absence (Kasey Perkins absent) on June 9. Specific funding sources for bonuses and positions are recorded as grant or budget items in June materials (e.g., Special Education grant referenced for transition positions); the minutes do not provide detailed contract language or personnel start dates for each item.

These approvals allow district staff to implement bonus payments, post and fill positions funded by grants, apply the AI policy in district operations and appoint the student representative per the district’s student-board-member policy. The minutes do not include verbatim public comment or extended debate on these June items.
