Board of Education to convene closed session after roll call
Summary
The board called the meeting to order, completed roll call (one trustee absent, one vacancy) and announced it would convene into closed session to discuss and possibly act on agenda items 1–5.
The moderator called the board of education hearing session to order and asked Miss Vasquez to conduct roll call. The moderator then read the roll: President of the board Melissa Rangel was present; Clerk of the board Pamela Blinn was present; Trustee Raquel Ortiz Cornejo was present; Trustee Jenny Felix was absent and there is a vacancy in Trustee Area 3. Secretary to the board Dr. Trent Hansen and staff advisers Paula Ford, Monty Owens, Denise Hernandez and Daniel Brooks were listed as attending.
The announcement to move into a closed session followed public‑meeting procedures. "The board will now convene to close session to discuss and possibly take action on items 1 through 5 as set forth on the agenda," the moderator said. The public portion of the transcript records the roll call and that announcement; no public votes or substantive discussion of agenda items were made on the record in this excerpt.
Why it matters: A closed session indicates the board plans to discuss matters not conducted in open session, which can include personnel, legal, or other matters permitted by law. The public record here documents who was present for the public portion of the meeting, the absence of Trustee Jenny Felix, and a vacancy for Trustee Area 3.
What happens next: The transcript ends with the announcement to move into closed session; the record provided does not include the content or outcomes of that closed session.
