The Modesto City Schools Board of Trustees convened its regular meeting at 4:30 p.m. on Jan. 21, 2025, and confirmed a quorum, a meeting official announced. The official conducted roll call, noting that Trustee Brown and Trustee Marks were present, Trustee Daley, Trustee Ervin and Trustee Lopez were not present, Vice President Mejia was present and President Maeses was present.
Before the board moved into closed session, the meeting official outlined how the board would handle public comment on closed-session items: comments offered in person would be received before the board entered closed session, while emailed or voicemail comments submitted after the posting of the agenda and up to noon on the day of the meeting would not be read aloud. Those emailed and voicemail comments have been transcribed and printed for each board member and the public and will be attached to the meeting minutes that are approved at a future board meeting.
When the official asked for any public comments on closed-session items, none were offered and the meeting proceeded. No votes or formal actions on agenda items were recorded in the portion of the transcript provided.
