Special board meeting approves agenda, votes to enter closed session

At a special board meeting called to order Feb. 6, 2026, at 4:05 p.m., members approved the meeting agenda and voted to convene in closed session.

The presiding officer asked for a motion to approve the agenda. "I move to approve the agenda for tonight's meeting," said a board member; another member seconded. Several members provided affirmative responses during a roll-call sequence, after which the presiding officer announced, "Motion approved." The recorded roll-call responses show Miss Jones, Miss Foster, Mister Hykes (spelled as 'Hykes' in an earlier segment and as 'Heights' in a later segment), Mister Morrison, Miss Hubbard and Doctor Collins Adams as responding present or yes; Miss Von Rilco does not have a recorded response in the provided segments.

Shortly after, the presiding officer requested a motion to move from open session to closed session. After a brief exchange to correct the wording, a board member moved to go into closed session and again called for a roll-call vote. Members answered in the affirmative and the presiding officer announced that the motion to enter closed session was approved.

Direct quotes in the recorded segments were limited and largely procedural. The presiding officer remarked, "We're all tired," during the exchange over wording for the closed-session motion. The transcript records the procedural motions and roll-call replies but does not include any substantive discussion of the closed-session subject matter in the provided segments.

The meeting proceeded to a closed session following the approved motion; the transcript excerpts provided end immediately after the motion was approved.
