Durham Public Schools board moves into closed session, recesses meeting to April 15

The Durham Public Schools board reconvened from a meeting scheduled for March 30, 2026, voted to go into closed session and later recessed the special meeting until Wednesday, April 15, 2026, at 2:00 p.m., with both motions approved by unanimous voice vote.

The chair opened the reconvened session and asked for a motion to move into closed session. Vice Chair Milison Rogers moved to reconvene in closed session and board member Jessica Carter seconded the motion. During the voice vote, Jessica Carter said, “I vote I,” Milison Rogers said, “I vote I,” and Betinastead said, “I vote I as well.” The motion to enter closed session was carried and the board moved into closed session.

After returning to open session, the chair proposed recessing the special meeting until April 15 at 2:00 p.m. The meeting record shows the motion was moved by Jessica Carter and seconded by Milison Rogers. The same three members cast affirmative voice votes and the motion passed unanimously. With no further business, the chair adjourned the meeting.

No substantive policy debate, amendments, or public comment were recorded in the transcript; the proceedings were limited to procedural motions to enter closed session and to set the next meeting date.
