Board approves governance handbook and meeting calendar; agenda reorder passes earlier

Mounting procedural business at the Mountain View Whisman School District meeting concluded with a set of housekeeping votes.

Early in the session trustees moved and unanimously passed a motion to rearrange the agenda so that the self-evaluation discussion would follow the first reading of board bylaws and policies. The board recessed to closed session at 9:07 a.m. and reconvened at 11:09 a.m.; no reportable action was taken in closed session.

Later in the meeting trustees approved the district's meeting calendar for the coming year. After an extensive review of the governance calendar and governance handbook text, the board voted unanimously to approve the governance handbook as presented; trustees clarified that superintendent evaluation procedures would be handled separately from the handbook.

Votes recorded in the meeting were voice votes recorded as "aye" and the chair announced motions passed unanimously. No roll-call tallies with individual yes/no votes were provided in the transcript.
