The Birmingham Community Charter High District board approved three action items by voice vote: a revised attendance policy, the 2026–27 instructional calendar and the district's first interim budget for 2025–26.
On the attendance policy, staff noted two substantive changes in the redline: cultural-reason absences have been capped at five per year and prior monthly allowances for religious absences were removed. A motion to approve the revised attendance policy was moved and seconded and the board approved it by voice vote ("Aye").
The board then approved the instructional calendar for the 2026–27 school year after a brief clarification that two unassigned days were moved to a Saturday and an admissions day restored. The motion passed by voice vote.
Finally, the board approved the district's 2025'26 first interim budget. The transcript records a motion, a second and a voice vote in favor; no roll-call vote or detailed tally appears in the meeting record provided.
Each item was described in materials placed in the meeting Dropbox; staff indicated the attendance-policy changes would take effect when read at the meeting. No motions failed or were tabled in the recorded session.
