An unnamed board member moved, "I make a motion that we approve the settlement offer from Crum and Foster regarding the roof litigation and authorize superintendent Kathy Rillo to negotiate and execute the settlement agreement." The motion received a second (the second is recorded in the transcript as "2nd" but the speaker who seconded is not identified) and passed with a recorded tally of 7 yes, 0 no.
The board cited the Texas Government Code §551 when moving into the executive closed session.

Board action: the trustees approved the settlement authorization (motion recorded as carried 7–0). The meeting record in the transcript is limited to procedural steps and the motion text; no public comment was recorded on this item.
