The purpose of the Consent Agenda is to act upon routine matters in an expeditious manner. Items placed on the Consent Agenda as determined by the Chair, in cooperation with the HOS, are those that are considered common to the operation of the Board and normally require no special board discussion or debate. A board member may request that any item on the Consent Agenda be removed and inserted at an appropriate place on the regular agenda. Items on the Consent Agenda for this meeting include:

• Approval of minutes from a previous meeting
• Approval of monthly financial statements
• Acknowledgement of monthly enrollment reports, if any
• Approval of updated school policies and/or procedures, if any

We did not approve the July Financials in August because the Board met on August 7th, prior to a date when the financials could appropriately be generated. The Finance Committee did review the financials for July, and now they are ready for approval. 

Approval of the School-Specific Goals. These were first presented during the August 2026 Board Retreat. They must be approved by the Board for the Charter School Commission (our authorizer).

This board resolution establishes overload pay for special education teachers when they exceed their caseloads. This is similar to the overload compensation adopted for the 25-26 school year.

This policy provides the required revisions to the LAP Policy 2108, previously adopted by the board in April 2020. Included is a chart describing the changes from the old policy to the current proposed policy, as well as a full policy for board review and vote. 

This is a required update to Policy 6220 - Bid or Request for Proposal Requirements and Policy 6220P - Bid or Request for Proposal Requirements, which outline the procedural response. Both policies were initially adopted by the Board in September 2019.  Included is a chart for easy reference that explains the changes from the previous policies to the current revised policies, as well as the two new updated policies presented for board approval.
