Board moves into executive session after opening remarks and roll call

The board moved into an executive session after opening remarks, an invocation and a roll call that confirmed a quorum, according to the meeting transcript. Dr. Bud Cluche, a board member, moved to go into executive session and Don Krautis seconded the motion. The transcript does not state the subject the board intended to discuss.

The meeting opened with Debbie Benoit calling for a moment of silence for "Mister James Bowman the third" and "Miss Gaynell Earhart," both identified in the transcript as retired school teachers. Benoit then led an invocation asking attendees to "treat each other's opinions with respect" and to serve the people they represent.

The clerk, identified in the transcript as "Miss Brunei," conducted roll call and named members present, including Michael Lagarde; Gregory Hording; Matthew Ford; Debbie Benoit; Don Krautis; Dr. Bud Cluche; Roger Dale DeHart; Dr. Mabel Trahan; and Dane Vazen. The clerk informed the president that the meeting had a quorum.

After roll call, the meeting president said, "I'd like to make a motion to go into executive session." The transcript records the motion being made and seconded, and the president stated the board would move into a conference room so attendees could remain comfortable while the executive session proceeded. No formal roll-call vote or agenda item number for the executive session topic is recorded in the transcript. Public comment was solicited and none was offered before the board recessed to the closed meeting.

The transcript contains no further details about the executive session's purpose or any subsequent action; the board's next publicly recorded procedural step is to reconvene from the conference room, but the timing and agenda for that reconvened public session are not specified in the record provided.
