The Simsbury Board of Education moved and seconded approval of the Oct. 14 minutes at the start of the meeting. The transcript records a voice vote with the Chair asking, 'All those in favor? Aye.' No recorded opposition or roll-call tally was provided in the public transcript.

Other formal outcomes noted in the meeting record: the superintendent reported that the tech teachers had ratified a tentative agreement via their internal vote; that ratification was reported to the board as a successful ratification rather than a board vote. The board also received a notification of intent to retire (Tracy McConnell, Henry James special education teacher) with an effective retirement date noted as Oct. 19, 2028, and the superintendent flagged timing on retirement formulas for board awareness.
