VIII. Consent Agenda:  Board Action Requested
Description:
If desired, items may be removed from the consent agenda by request by an individual school board member for independent consideration.  A request is timely if made prior to the vote on the consent agenda.  The request does not require a second or a vote by the school board.  An item removed from the consent agenda will then be discussed and acted on separately immediately following the consideration of the consent agenda.

Roll call vote is required as the consent agenda contains the personnel report.

IX.A. Minnesota State High School League Form A and Form B Grants
Description:
The Minnesota State High School League has two grant opportunities available to Minnesota high schools:

Form A Grants are allocated to offset student activity fees based on the number of unduplicated participants qualifying for educational benefits.

Form B Grants are targeted to assist member schools, districts, and regions with health and safety (e.g., AEDs, concussion training), leadership initiatives, and transportation to reduce participation barriers.

Owatonna High school would like to apply for both grants this year, and each application requires school board resolution. Attached are the two resolutions for each grant application.
