The board approved consent items, including minutes from various meetings and resolutions for technology, equipment, donations, field trips, electrical contracts, stadium lighting, debt service transfers, out-of-school contracts, innovative education solutions, and student handbook changes for Pride. Following this, the financial report and claims were reviewed and approved.
