- Naming of baseball/softball complex (items 8b–8c): after a lengthy public comment period and trustee discussion about inclusiveness and agenda language, the board voted to postpone the naming items to the next regular meeting to allow for additional community input; motions to postpone were approved on the floor (multiple movers/seconders recorded) and the item was deferred.

Board comments closed the meeting; trustees thanked outgoing members and reminded residents about early voting and the Nov. 5 election. The board adjourned following the votes.

What this means: routine financial and operational items moved forward without dissent; the board approved a personnel termination recommended by administration and advanced district performance goals; the naming decision was delayed so the community can provide more input.
