Audio From October Board of Education Meetings

The Achievement Committee of the Ohio Board of Education met on October 9. It was expected that there would be a vote on Resolution 31 at this meeting, but no vote transpired. (See Board of Education Achievement Committee Once More Defers Action.)

Here is a wav recording of a brief discussion of Resolution 31 at the meeting.

On October 10, the full board considered a motion to discharge the Achievement Committee "from further consideration of Resolution 31 and anything arising therefrom, including the template for teaching controversial issues." (See Board of Education Discharges Achievement Committee From Consideration of Resolution 31.) The motion was approved.

Here is a recording of the discussion and vote on the motion, in mp3 format.

The first speaker is Matthew DeTemple, Chief Legal Counsel of The Ohio Department of Education, acting as board parliamentarian.
