When Barney voted No (6)
Each entry says what the item was in plain words, then how the whole board voted on it. The board usually takes an item up twice on the same day — first in its committee meeting, then at the board meeting — so the same item can appear twice. The district’s own wording is kept underneath as the record.
Proposal to revise the district's criminal background check policy for staff, replacing the current staff-rights policy.
