Several routine motions to adjourn were also passed by voice vote later in the meeting. The transcript records these results as unanimous voice votes; the meeting did not record roll‑call tallies for all items.
If a reader requires the official board roll call or certified minutes that list every vote by member name, those records should be requested from the Henderson County Board of Education administrative office.
