Chair moves to uphold level 2 response; Beaverton School Board votes to take no further action

The Beaverton School Board’s presiding chair moved on June 23, 2026, to uphold a "level 2" response to a complaint the board had reviewed in executive session and said the board would take no further action on the matter.

"I move to uphold the level 2 response," the chair said, and a second was recorded. The chair then called for a voice-and-hand vote "with no discussion." After members voted aloud, the chair stated, "We have 5 board members who have said yes," and several members said "No." The chair announced that, "with majority voting for to upholding the complaint, we will move forward with the complaint as is, but no further action will be taken." Director Kasim and doctor Carpenter were named in the announcement.

The motion and outcome were taken after the complaint had been reviewed in executive session; the transcript does not include details of the complaint or the content of the investigation that led to the level 2 response. The chair said all seven board members were present earlier in the meeting. The recorded verbal yea and nay responses in the transcript total eight verbal responses (the chair reported five yes and three no), creating an inconsistency between the announced attendance and the sum of recorded votes in the transcript.

The transcript does not identify who made the second to the motion, nor does it attribute individual yes or no votes to named board members. The chair’s announcement references Director Kasim and doctor Carpenter but does not state how each voted. The chair then stated there was no further business and adjourned the meeting; the transcript records "adjourned at 8" without a precise minute of adjournment.

The special meeting began with the chair calling the meeting to order at 8:12 p.m. and ended with the chair announcing adjournment; no additional actions, directions to staff, or follow-up tasks were recorded in the transcript.
