December 16, 2024 at 6:00 PM - Regular Meeting

Description:  A consent agenda is an item listed on the regular agenda that groups routine items under one agenda heading.  This allows the Board to take a unified motion and action on all routine items listed under the consent agenda instead of taking separate votes on each item.

Description:  Audience participation at a Board meeting is limited to the portion
of the meeting designated to receive public comment in accordance
with this policy. At all other times during a Board meeting, the
audience shall not enter into discussion or debate on matters being
considered by the Board, unless requested by the presiding officer.

At regular Board meetings, the Board shall permit public comment,
regardless of whether the topic is an item on the agenda posted
with notice of the meeting.

Individuals who wish to participate during the portion of the meeting
designated for public comment shall sign up with the presiding
officer or designee before the meeting begins as specified in the
Board’s procedures on public comment and shall indicate the
agenda item or topic on which they wish to address the Board.
Public comment shall occur at the beginning of the meeting.
Except as permitted by this policy and the Board’s procedures on
public comment, an individual’s comments to the Board shall not
exceed two(2) minutes per meeting.

Specific factual information or recitation of existing policy may be
furnished in response to inquiries, but the Board shall not deliberate
or decide regarding any subject that is not included on the
agenda posted with notice of the meeting.

 

Description:  QCISD received a "Superior Achievement" on the 22-23 FIRST Rating (District Score-100%).  The FIRST report and rating are attached.  Public comments may now be heard.  There is no need for board action.

Description:  The District's annual audit has been completed and will be presented to the board by the audit firm, Wilf and Henderson, PC.  Mrs. Birdwell will also answer any questions about the report after it is presented.  The report and communication letter are attached.

Description:  Mr. Vess presented a plan a year ago that would put him on a pace to have reliable instruments for all band students at the end of seven years.  In anticipation of a budget cut, he modified some expenditures this year and would like to move $15k from F36 to F11.  F11 (instruction) is the function used for instruments since they are used for classroom instruction. This is a proactive measure in anticipation of even tighter budget years but warrants some discussion as to the pros and cons of this option since it alters the approved seven year plan. If any action is needed, it will be taken in Jan.

Description:  Mrs. Belinda Fincher has announced her retirement. This does not required Board approval, as she is an at will employee.
