Attempt to change director qualifications falters after no motion
The board considered a proposed amendment to policy 5.802 to remove a requirement that a candidate for director hold a professional educator license. Staff explained state law requires only a bachelor's degree for the director position and that removing the license requirement was intended to broaden the candidate pool.

The board discussed dispensing with a second reading to adopt the change in one meeting; counsel confirmed that dispensing with the second reading should be part of the motion if the board wanted to act in one reading. No member moved to adopt the policy and dispense with the second reading, and the proposal was not approved due to lack of motion.

Board members subsequently discussed related committee business. The proposal remains available for future consideration if a motion is made at a subsequent meeting.

Votes at a glance: Motion to adopt change to policy 5.802 (dispense with second reading) — no motion made; outcome: no action.
