The Orange County Schools ad hoc committee convened shortly after 9 a.m. and voted to move into a closed session after briefly confirming attendance. A committee member said, “I would like to, make a motion that we go into closed session. So moved.”

The motion was seconded and the transcript records a reading intended to cite the basis for the closed session: “143Dash318.11A3A5.” Remarks immediately before that citation in the audio were garbled in the transcript and the committee did not state additional detail about the closed-session subject in the public portion of the recording.

Committee members voted in the affirmative to enter the closed session. The recording shows multiple participants saying “Aye,” and named members confirming their votes: Miss Padilla said, “Yes. Aye,” and Miss Doyle said, “Yes. Aye.” The committee then left the public meeting to join a separate Zoom link for the closed session.

Following the closed session the committee reconvened, confirmed attendance including that Miss Purcell had joined, and moved to adjourn. A member moved to adjourn the ad hoc committee meeting, a second was recorded, and members again voted in the affirmative. One participant closed the meeting by saying, “we are now adjourned,” and members exchanged brief closing remarks and seasonal greetings.

The transcript does not record any public discussion of the topics considered during the closed session nor identify the precise statutory authority beyond the text as read in the recording. No votes on policy, contracts, or budget items are recorded in the public portion of the transcript.
