Votes at a glance: Harmony Public Schools board approves consent agenda, property actions and denies staff grievance
Several formal motions were taken during the Harmony Public Schools board meeting; the transcript records multiple motions, roll-call-style yesses in some cases and outcomes for several agenda items.

Key votes and recorded outcomes
- Consent agenda: A board member moved to approve the consent agenda (including approval of the previous meeting minutes and validation of financing committee actions). A second was recorded and multiple board members said "aye." The chair stated "It's approved." (Transcript: motion, second, recorded ayes.)

- Purchase/lease/real property (Central Texas): A board member moved to approve a purchase/lease, lease renewal, extension, amendment, sublease or sale of real property for school office facilities in Harmony Public Schools Central Texas District. The motion was seconded; the transcript records board members saying "aye" and the chair stating "It's approved." (Transcript lines show motion, second, ayes and an explicit approval.)

- Purchase/lease/real property (Harmony Public School System): A second, similar motion to approve purchase/lease/lease renewal/extension/amendment/sublease or sale for school office facilities in Harmony Public School System was moved and seconded later in the meeting; the transcript records the motion and second but does not include the explicit roll-call outcome in the provided excerpt.

- Deny staff grievance appeal (Harmony Science Academy Euless): A motion to deny the staff grievance appeal from Harmony Science Academy Euless was made and seconded. Board members voted aloud "aye" and the chair said "It's approved." The transcript records the denial as adopted.

Other motions recorded (vote not explicitly recorded in excerpt)
- Targeted Improvement Plans (Harmony Science Academy Austin and Brownsville): Motions to approve TIP submissions for both campuses were made and seconded; the transcript records motion and second but does not include a final roll-call vote in the provided excerpt.

- Resolution to submit expansion amendments to TEA for two new campuses (HPS Houston South): A board member moved to approve the resolution to submit expansion amendments to TEA to request two additional campuses for Harmony Public Schools Houston South (Pearland and Missouri City/Mizzou City). The motion was seconded; the transcript records motion and second but not the explicit roll-call outcome.

What the votes mean
- The approval of the consent agenda and the explicit approvals of property and grievance items will be reflected in board minutes and enacted as stated.
- For items where the transcript excerpt did not capture a roll-call or the chair's concluding approval language, the motion-and-second were on the record and district minutes should be consulted for final recorded tallies.

Actions summarized (by agenda item)
- Consent agenda: Approved (motion, second, ayes recorded)
- Property action (Central Texas): Approved (motion, second, ayes recorded)
- Property action (district/system-level): Motion and second recorded; explicit approval not recorded in excerpt
- Staff grievance (Euless): Motion to deny approved (ayes recorded)
- TIP Austin and Brownsville: Motions to approve recorded; final vote not recorded in excerpt
- Expansion amendment (Houston South): Motion to submit amendment recorded; final vote not recorded in excerpt
