Motion Minutes:School Board Attorney Art Hardy stated to the Chair that the motion on the last item was to deny the Charter application. He was not sure if the vote reflected that or not. There was one Board member in favor of that motion and three opposed to that motion so the motion to deny was not carried. If the motion is to deny and that is what a Board member wishes to do then it would be in the affirmative of the motion. There was confusion in voting on this item. It would be appropriate for a new motion to be made and seconded and voted upon. It would be appropriate to rescind the prior motion and start over again.
Board Vice-Chair Caroline Zucker made a motion to rescind the prior motion. Board member Carol Todd seconded the motion. There was no discussion.
