A board member at a MERCEDES ISD meeting apologized for missing the previous week's board recognition, thanked teachers, administrators and students for recognition notes and artwork, and the board then voted unanimously to adjourn at 10:54.

The speaker said, "I'd just like to to make a comment. I was not here last week, for our board meeting and our board recognition. So, I'd like to thank, our staff, our students." The board member said they received the recognition materials Thursday evening and singled out the career and technical education department and administrators for the students' handcrafted items and letters, mentioning "doctor degerina" as an author of a longer letter.

Following those remarks, Mr. Rodriguez moved to adjourn and Ms. Barrijosa seconded. The board recorded aye votes from Ms. Trevino, Mr. Reynosa, Mr. Rodriguez, Mr. Hernandez and Ms. Vallejo; the presiding officer also announced an "I vote aye." The motion passed unanimously. "The time is now 10:54 and this board is a is adjourned," the presiding officer said.
