The minutes note that Trustee Aubrey Gibbs left the meeting at 6:07 p.m., which explains the change from unanimous 5-0 votes early in the agenda to 4-0 tallies on later items. Several items (for example, refunding bond specifics, audit findings, MOU text, and grant amounts) are not detailed in the minutes and would require the district’s packet or supporting documents for full context.
