- Executive session — attorney consultation (Kansas Open Meetings Act exception): Motion to enter executive session for 15 minutes with named attorneys invited. Outcome: approved, vote recorded as 7–0. The board returned to open session later; the meeting transcript shows the return motion carried 6–0 on that particular roll-call when recorded.
- Executive session — negotiations: Motion to enter executive session for 10 minutes to discuss negotiation information; invited superintendent and selected staff. Outcome: approved, vote recorded as 7–0. The subsequent motion confirming return to open session was recorded in the transcript as passing (recorded as 7–0 at the later roll-call for the motion to adjourn).
- Adjournment: Motion to adjourn. Outcome: approved, vote recorded as 7–0.
Notes: Several motions in the transcript did not include recorded mover and seconder names in the available excerpt; where the transcript did not specify names they are recorded here as "mover not specified" and "second not specified." For agenda items that bundled many policies or consent items, the transcript reflects a single motion and a single roll-call vote approving the package.
