Summary
The Austin Public School Board of Education on Jan. 26 approved the consent agenda and immediately moved the meeting to item 6.2, a government relations update. The transcript records the motion and roll-call acknowledgements but does not list individual yes/no votes.
The Austin Public School Board of Education voted to approve the consent agenda at its Jan. 26, 2026, meeting and then shifted the agenda to hear a government relations update.
The meeting facilitator (Speaker 1) asked members to "Please motion to approve the consent agenda items as presented." A second was recorded in the transcript as "Mary and Katie." The board then conducted a roll-call-style acknowledgement of members; the transcript records statements such as "This is Richard," "Kumar," and "This is Billy," but does not transcribe explicit yes/no votes by name.
Board members proceeded immediately to item 6.2 after the vote was taken. The transcript does not include a formal readout of vote tallies or identify which member made the motion. No public commenters spoke during the public comment period earlier in the meeting; Speaker 1 announced "No" when asked if there were any public speakers.
The meeting then moved to the government relations presentation on the state legislative session.
