Board approves consent agenda including claims and treasurer's report

The board approved the consent agenda as published after a brief discussion of claims and a roll-call vote. Items included minutes from the prior meeting, claims as submitted, bid proposals, staff adjustments, the treasurer’s report and listed policy first/final reads (board staff clarified there were actually no policy first or final reads on the consent agenda).

Dr. McDowell highlighted several claims of interest before the vote: a City of Crete utilities charge referenced at $56,092.98 (noting a year-over-year increase), a Lexia Learning Systems invoice ($39,008.44) reimbursed via the CLSD grant, an annual website/communication vendor payment (~$29,221.50 to Aptogee), vertical coaching professional-development costs of $15,000, and a one-time motor-coach expense of $4,645 for travel. Board roll call recorded the motion as approved; the president announced "The consent agenda is approved as published."
