At its regular meeting the Norris School District Board of Trustees approved a swath of consent and action items ranging from meeting logistics to negotiated employee contracts and procurement actions.

Key approvals and outcomes included:

- Organizational meeting date: Trustees set the annual organizational meeting for Dec. 10 and approved the motion unanimously.

- Reading screener adoption (item 4.2): The board approved adding AMERA as the district's adopted reading‑difficulties risk screener. Administrators said the digital program carries an initial and training cost and estimated ongoing annual licensing around $6,000; proponents argued it is more efficient and had stronger data security provisions than previously reviewed free options.

- Resolution approvals (items 4.3 and 4.4): The board approved Resolution 25‑04 to pursue grant funds for electric utility vehicles (utility trucks/carts, not buses) and Resolution 25‑05 to pursue grant funds for electric mowers.

- Modular classrooms (item 4.5): Trustees approved piggyback lease contracts for two modular buildings at BMAT and two at Veterans on three‑year leases; board members said the leases are intended as temporary measures while longer‑term facilities are pursued.

- Collective bargaining and AB 1200 forms (items 4.9, 4.10, 4.11 and 4.12–4.14): The board opened public hearings and then approved AB 1200 budget certification forms and ratified negotiated tentative agreements with the Norris Teacher Association (NTA) and with CSEA chapter 824 for the 2025‑26 school year. Administrators said both proposals include a 2% on‑schedule and 2% off‑schedule increase and that changes would be retroactive to the start of the fiscal year.

- Administrative and policy revisions (multiple items 4.18–4.32): Trustees approved a package of policy and regulation updates, many of which were routine modernizations of 1990s era policies and reorganization of BP/AR language. Several items were accepted at first or second readings according to the published agenda.

- Consent agenda (item 5): The consent agenda was approved after trustees pulled item 5.3 (interdistrict transfer requests) for separate handling; item 5.3 was deferred to closed session and item 5.7 (a memorandum of understanding with the county superintendent for tobacco use prevention education) was approved on the public record.

Most motions recorded the standard board chorus of "Aye" with no roll‑call tallies attached to individual member names in the transcript. Where specific costs or contract terms were discussed, administrators said those details would be included in backup documents provided with the agenda or in forthcoming contract packages for trustee review.

The board recessed into closed session at the meeting's end; no final action on pulled interdistrict transfers was recorded in the public portion of the meeting.
