The Douglas Unified governing board voted to enter executive session to consider personnel matters and student‑discipline recommendations, then returned to open session and accepted a teacher resignation with a liquidated‑damages charge.
The board first voted to move into executive session under ARS 15‑843(a) for student discipline and ARS 38‑431.03(a) (personnel matters) to consult with legal counsel and consider a certified employee's contract issues. The motion to convene into executive session was moved and seconded and carried by roll call.
