- Routine motions to enter executive session at 9:37 p.m. (school resource officer report, student‑records matters) and to return to public session at about 9:59 p.m. — motions carried.
The record shows these votes were taken by voice, with several items approved without roll‑call tallies in the public record. If formal vote counts are required for audit or reporting, the district’s official minutes or clerk’s record should be consulted for precise tallies.
