Back-up materials for consent agenda items are included in the agenda packet as needed.  Minutes of this meeting will reflect action on each item.  

If any board member wishes to withdraw any consent group item, it will be moved to the appropriate section of the agenda.

JJ Johansson Kaylin LaClair Kelly Bucolo Lindsay Meyer Lisa Domanic Logan Porter Maddie Brockman Marci Stoner Michelle Chylek and Tara Smith.  Thank you for your continued GRIT, tenacity and Integrity in this super challenging time. Reported by:        Trace
Reason:             "Kudos" is not a big enough word to fully express my gratitude over your having decluttered the Prosser Memorial School
Psychology Library and Second Life Luggage Rehabilitation Center (aka the PMSPLASLLRC). Some of that material was well over 40 years old, and it feels good to finally divest ourselves of assessments that once used such questions as, "Do I look stupid to you?", or which would administer graduated electric shocks. ("Science marches on." -- Ada Lovelace... maybe.) 

Thank you to those who took the time to acknowledge co-workers/staff with kudos.  Employees and Board members can submit a "kudo" any time during the month.   To submit a kudo visit: www.lesd.k12.or.us/forms/kudos.html
