Board agenda flags possible attorney consultation over public information request under Texas law
Summary
An item on the Oct. 24, 2024 agenda asks the board to discuss a public information request tied to a prior meeting and notes 'Possible Consultation with Attorney' in open or closed session under Texas Government Code § 551.071.
The Randolph Field ISD agenda scheduled discussion of a public information request originating from a prior meeting and explicitly notes consideration of "Possible Consultation with Attorney Regarding Same in Open or Closed Session" under Texas Government Code § 551.071, the attorney–client privilege exception that permits closed-session consultation with counsel. The agenda language appears in SEG 018.
The agenda does not state the nature of the public information request or the party that made it, nor does it provide the attorney's advice or a recommended board action. The district listed the item to allow trustees to consider whether to consult counsel in open session or recess into closed session under the statutory consultation exemption; the agenda itself does not record any legal advice or final determination.
