Trustees adopt rule to recess meetings that run past 10:30 PM
Summary
The Presidio ISD Board amended policy BE (local) to require recess and reconvening the next business day if a meeting continues past 10:30 PM; the motion passed unanimously. The change aims to preserve thoughtful discussion and limit late‑night decision making.
The Presidio ISD Board of Trustees voted unanimously on March 25 to amend Board Policy BE (local) to require that any meeting running past 10:30 PM be recessed and reconvened on the following business day. Trustee Iris Galindo moved the change and Trustee Jeremy Velasquez seconded; the motion passed 7–0.
Board supporters said the amendment responds to concerns about excessively long meetings that undercut constructive discussion. The board recorded individual votes for the motion. The change will be incorporated into the district's local policy manual and will apply to future regular and special meetings unless later revised.
