Board and resident praise outgoing trustees at final meeting

The meeting included a moment for departing trustees to address the board and community. Elizabeth Stoll and John Matthews each thanked constituents and reflected on their service; members emphasized the ups and downs of four years in office and encouraged the new trustees to engage in training and keep student needs central.

In public comment, Blair Woodcock (who identified himself as a resident of District 7) thanked outgoing members by name and praised the board's progress and professionalism, saying he had been impressed that "students come first" and acknowledging long hours of service. The chair invited outgoing members to offer remarks from the podium and the session closed after no media questions.
