The chair read the roll call: Mr. Moon, Ms. Saint John Cunning, Ms. Dixit, Mr. McDaniel, Mr. McElveen and the chair voted to confirm; Dr. Anderson voiced opposition.

After the budget presentation and public Q&A, the board recessed and reconvened at 7:01 p.m. The chair moved that the board meet in closed session on Feb. 19, 2026 "to conduct with legal counsel regarding matters requiring the provision of legal advice ... pursuant to section 2.2-3711(A)(7),(8),(29) of the Code of Virginia, specifically contracts." Mr. McDaniel moved; Mr. Moon seconded; the chair called the vote and reported the motion passed unanimously.

Both formal actions are recorded in the meeting minutes and were implemented as of Feb. 19, 2026.
