On the record

What the minutes and transcripts record Carolyn saying, by topic. 4 topics.

  • Chair Pitches closed the public hearing on the FY2027–2031 CIP at the November 3, 2025 meeting after no one signed up to speak. At the October 5, 2026 meeting, Superintendent Wright addressed opening remarks to Chair Pitches, indicating Pitches was presiding.

  • On May 4, 2026, Pitches expressed appreciation for teachers and wished them a happy Teacher Appreciation Week during Board Matters.

  • Voted yes on the April 7, 2025 unanimous approval of the Section 1.34 update. A speaker at the January 26, 2026 session noted that the manual had not been updated since 2022 and asked board members to review it ahead of the retreat, flagging it as a priority agenda item; the dated record does not attribute this statement to a named member by name in the transcript.

  • At the May 19, 2025 Work Session, Mrs. Pitches asked each committee representative (including the MSAOC representative) to provide their finalized year-end report once completed.

Positions as recorded in meeting minutes; votes without recorded comment aren't summarized.
