Given that my Internet connection gave up the ghost shortly after filing this, so here's the rest of what happened at the meeting.

After voting down that new food policy, the board went on to the rest of its business, including setting its next meeting dates. (They'll be Nov. 14 and 19 and Dec. 12 and 19)

They also didn't vote through a proposal to hire a high school coach who was selected from within the district. Two of the board members abstained, meaning along with the missing board members, there weren't enough votes to put it through.

More on Superintendent James Parla's strategic plan for the district later.
