Board members moved into closed session at 6:31 p.m. under cited sections of the Texas Government Code before taking the vote. The board did not disclose details of the negotiations at the public meeting; the motion that followed closed session gave Dr. Bower express authority to proceed with negotiations on behalf of the district.
