The board also acted on several personnel items. These included the approval of new teacher and coaching hires, as well as the acceptance of resignations within the district.
Other agenda items included time for public comment, updates from board members, and a report from the superintendent. The meeting concluded with an executive session to discuss contract-related matters.
No further action was announced following the executive session.
