2. Resolutions and motions. This will include a detailed statement of all expenditures of money, with names of persons to whom payment is made for service rendered or goods furnished; a detailed statement of receipts, and balance on hand; and expenditures and receipts of trust and agency funds.

3. A record of the disposition of all matters on which the Board considered, but did not take action.

4. The salaries of all employees will be published after the July organizational meeting, and total payroll by department monthly.

The unapproved minutes will be available for inspection by any person within 10 business days after the meeting.

Within 20 days after a Board meeting, minutes of the meeting will be published in the local newspaper, as in accordance with law. The business manager will sign each legal publication submitted to the newspaper.

The Board will approve the minutes of every meeting within 45 days after that meeting. The presiding officer and the business manager will sign the minutes of all regular and special meetings after approval by the Board. Any change or correction in the minutes will be reflected in the minutes of the meeting at which the changes are made.

  2. The number of registered voters of the school district who voted in the election;

  3. The percentage of registered voters of the school district who voted in the election;
