The Lee County Board of Education met in a special called session on Feb. 10, 2026, at 4:00 p.m. at the district’s Central Office in Opelika and approved the proposed agenda by unanimous vote. Dr. Rusty Courson, president and District 2 board member, presided; six of seven voting members were present.
Mrs. Mary Ensley moved to approve the proposed agenda; Mr. Roger Keel seconded, and the motion was approved unanimously by the members present.

The board carried that motion unanimously.
The agenda item listed for the executive session was 'Pupil Personnel Service Recommendations.' The meeting record notes the item was considered in executive session, but the public transcript contains no details about the substance of those recommendations or any public vote on them.
After the executive session, Mrs. Mary Ensley moved to reconvene the open meeting, with Mr. Roger Keel seconding; that motion also passed unanimously. The meeting concluded when Mr. Richard Brown Sr. moved to adjourn, Mrs. Ensley seconded, and the motion was approved unanimously.
The transcript lists Dr. Mike Howard as superintendent and notes that Mark Tomlin was not in attendance. The record does not provide specifics about the pupil personnel recommendations, any personnel actions taken, or any follow-up timeline. No public comments, debates, or individual roll-call votes on personnel were recorded in the available document.
Following common school-board procedure, executive sessions are typically used for confidential personnel or legal matters; the board’s public record here confirms the executive session occurred but does not disclose outcomes or next steps for the listed recommendations. The district has not provided additional public documentation of the recommendations in the transcript provided.
