All motions passed 7-0.
The PERRYTON ISD Board of Trustees recorded a series of unanimous approvals of routine agenda items and a personnel action during its meeting.

A board member noted there is a legal limit on extensions (comment in the record: “I think you’re actually limited to 5 by law”); the motion was recorded as carried 7-0.
Context and clarifications: Board members used standard motions and voice votes for these routine items. For the adjunct faculty agreement staff said the arrangement is made each year so student attendance at stock shows and similar events may be counted under state rules; the specific statutory citation was not provided in the meeting record.
Ending: Board members thanked staff and moved on to the transportation item and other business.
