Board cites Texas Open Meetings Act before entering closed session

The presiding officer announced the board would move into a closed session under the Texas Open Meetings Act, reading the specific sections that authorize private discussion. "Section 551.071, for the purpose of private consultation with the district's attorney regarding pending litigation, a settlement offer," the chair read, and the announcement continued to list sections covering real property deliberations, personnel matters, security deliberations, and student personally identifying information under section 551.0821.

The chair stated the board entered closed session at approximately 05:30:34. The transcript segments provided do not include the substance of discussions held in closed session; the board returned to open session after the closed session and subsequently considered action items including the guardrails approval recorded later in the meeting transcript.
