The Hazelwood school board voted unanimously to adopt the meeting agenda and approve the consent agenda after a roll call at the start of the session. A meeting official said, "A copy of the notice and the agenda for this meeting was posted on Friday, 08/01/2025 at the administration center, 8855 Dunn Road, Hazelwood, Missouri online and sent also to local newspapers."

The action fulfilled the board's stated obligation under the public meeting law of the state of Missouri, the official said. The board's chair noted that the district follows Robert's Rules of Order for parliamentary procedure and that items listed on the consent agenda had been provided to board members and the public in advance and could be removed at a board member's request.

During roll call on the motion to adopt the agenda as posted, Board member Dr. Gordon, Ms. Nasirui, Board member Dr. Thurman, Board member Derek Tyson, Board member Dr. Courtney Brayden and the meeting chair each answered "yes." A motion to approve the consent agenda as posted received a second and was approved with an "Aye" vote. The transcript does not identify who made the initial motions or who seconded them by name.

The board then moved into a school-year retreat and the chair welcomed the district's new superintendent, Dr. Fields. The transcript does not specify any items on the consent agenda or any separate votes on individual consent items.
