CROSBY ISD board meets, enters closed session and unanimously adjourns; special-call meeting set for Oct. 20, 2025
Summary
The CROSBY ISD Board of Trustees opened a meeting at 6:06 p.m., announced a closed session under Texas law, reconvened at 8:48 p.m., and voted 7-0 to adjourn and schedule a special-call meeting for Oct. 20, 2025. No public comments were received.
The CROSBY ISD Board of Trustees called the meeting to order at 6:06 p.m. with seven trustees present, opened with a prayer led by Dr. Patterson and the pledge led by Trustee Heather Barrett, then announced it would enter a closed session at 6:07 p.m. citing the Texas Government Code. The board reconvened at 8:48 p.m. and approved a motion, moved by Trustee JR Humphreys and seconded by Trustee Karen Thomas, to adjourn and schedule a special-call meeting for Oct. 20, 2025; the voice vote carried 7-0.
The meeting was procedural in nature. No members of the public registered to speak during the public-comment period, according to the presiding speaker. The board’s announcement that it would move to closed session referenced the Texas Government Code; the transcript shows the citation as spoken during the meeting, and the board cited state law allowing private executive sessions. Texas Government Code §551.001 sets the Open Meetings Act authority; §551.074 is commonly cited for personnel matters, which is one of the statutory exemptions that permit closed sessions.
At roll call the trustees recorded present were Kelyn Lewis, Jennifer Roach, Heather Barrett, Karen Thomas, Lisa Killece, Philip Chapman and JR Humphreys. The presiding speaker noted a quorum was present. After the prayer and pledge, the presiding speaker said there were no requests for public comment.
The board recessed into closed session at 6:07 p.m., as announced by the presiding speaker, and later reconvened at 8:48 p.m. Upon reconvening, the presiding speaker asked for a motion to adjourn the special-call meeting scheduled for Oct. 20, 2025. According to the meeting record the motion was offered by Trustee JR Humphreys and seconded by Trustee Karen Thomas. The presiding speaker called for a voice vote, and the motion carried 7-0. The meeting was adjourned at 8:48 p.m.
No formal actions, votes or motions on substantive policy items were recorded other than the procedural motion to adjourn and set the special-call meeting date. The transcript contains brief informal remarks among participants during the meeting; those remarks were not part of the formal agenda and did not produce recorded actions. The special-call meeting is on the board’s calendar for Oct. 20, 2025; the agenda for that meeting was not included in the transcript.
