The board then moved into executive session under 25 O.S. § 307(B)(1) to discuss the ongoing evaluation of contractual terms of the superintendent. The executive session convened and returned to open session at 7:14 p.m.; the board stated it took no action in executive session.
Where motions were recorded in the transcript, votes were read aloud by roll call with the five board members recorded as voting yes on the listed items. The transcript does not identify individual movers for every motion in each case; where a mover or seconder was named it was a board member but the record in the transcript extract uses first names/last names singly (for example, “Move to approve…” followed by a roll call).
