VI. Consent Agenda: Board Action Requested
Description:
If desired, items may be removed from the consent agenda by request by an individual school board member for independent consideration. A request is timely if made prior to the vote on the consent agenda. The request does not require a second or a vote by the school board. An item removed from the consent agenda will then be discussed and acted on separately immediately following the consideration of the consent agenda.
Roll call vote is required as the consent agenda contains the personnel report. |
