Board approves consent agenda, highlights donations and new clubs; moves gymnastics merger to general action

The board approved the consent agenda on Sept. 8 after a trustee moved to remove the athletic gymnastics-merger item for separate general action. The superintendent noted donations of picnic tables from the junior post-prom committee and the Carmel High School Parent Association that will be used for community lunch.

Trustees also introduced and endorsed new extracurricular clubs (team leadership and automotive), praising the automotive program and the volunteer efforts that make extracurricular offerings possible. One trustee flagged a specific fundraising event: Carmel Field Hockeys annual "Stick It to Cancer" game on Oct. 8, with proceeds supporting the cause.

The board approved the consent agenda by voice vote and took the gymnastics-merger item to general action, where it was later approved.
