Murray board elects leadership, approves consent agenda and moves to closed session
Summary
The Murray School District Board of Education approved a consent agenda, elected Kelly as board president and Jill Bate as vice president for 2025–2027, discussed committee assignments and voted to enter closed session to discuss personnel, property and legal matters.
The Murray School District Board of Education opened its meeting by approving the consent agenda by voice vote and later confirmed leadership for the 2025–2027 term.
President Cooper presided over nominations; the board nominated Kelly for board president and, after a second, voted to approve the nomination for the 2025–2027 term. The board also nominated Jill Bate for vice president; following a second, members approved the nomination by voice vote.
Board members discussed assignments to standing committees, including the audit committee, staff development and facilities planning. Several members noted turnover in some groups and asked that board members consider where to serve; members discussed options such as facilities master planning and grade reconfiguration and said the board will receive a monthly buildings report beginning next month.
Later in the meeting the board president requested a closed session to discuss personnel, property and legal matters. The board agreed and recessed for a short break before entering closed session with Superintendent Leehom and Director Dean joining the stage.
All procedural motions (consent agenda approval, leadership nominations, move to closed session) were adopted by voice vote; the public transcript records the motions and the chair’s announcements but does not include roll‑call tallies.
