At a Jan. 13 special meeting, a resolution to display photographs of past superintendents and staff in the district boardroom won more votes than it lost, 4-2, but the minutes record the outcome as a failed motion; the board then held a brief, unexplained executive session before adjourning just over two hours after convening.
