Stafford Municipal School Board adjourns special meeting after closed session, votes 6-0

The Stafford Municipal School Board convened a special-call meeting at 6:00 p.m. on Feb. 12, 2026, and opened the public-comment period, Chair said. After asking 'Ms. Gilmore' whether there were any comments and hearing none, the board moved to a closed meeting.

The Chair read the statutory authority for the closed session, saying: "Closed meetings will be held for the purposes authorized by Texas meeting open act, Texas government code section 551.071 to 551.076 concerning any and all purposes permitted by the act." The transcript records the board entering the closed session at 6:00.

The Clerk announced the board was returning from closed session, stating, "The time is now 12:05. We're returning from a closed session." Shortly afterward the Clerk asked, "Do we have a motion for adjournment?" A motion to adjourn was recorded and seconded in the transcript; the record does not clearly name who made or seconded the motion. The Clerk then called the vote: "All in favor?" The transcript records "Aye" and a tally presented as "6 0," indicating the motion passed by a six-to-zero vote and the meeting was adjourned.

No substantive public comment, presentation details, or other agenda items were recorded in the public portions of this transcript beyond the move to closed session and the adjournment vote. The board cited Texas Government Code §§551.071–551.076 as the authority for the closed session; the transcript does not specify which subsection(s) applied or any actions taken during the closed session.
