Where these appeared in the meeting: The minutes acceptance occurred early in the meeting during approval of minutes; business items and personnel items were handled as consent agendas with discussion and recorded motions; the chaperone appointment was specifically set aside and postponed after board discussion; the meeting concluded with a motion to go into executive session regarding personnel.

Notes: The transcript records multiple "Aye" voice votes but does not include a roll-call tally with names for every vote; where a specific mover or seconder was named in the record, that name is listed above. The board recorded no roll-call tallies with explicit yes/no counts in the transcript for these items.
