The board returned from closed session at 12:10 p.m., and Trustee Stafford moved to deny the appeal, a motion seconded by Trustee Wright. The board voted unanimously to deny the appeal and uphold the level‑2 decision.

The grievance was described on the agenda as a level‑3 appeal by parent Nicole Cono. The board first convened into closed session for legal consultation under Texas Government Code section 551.071 and then proceeded with the grievance hearing under the cited personnel and grievance provisions.
