At the opening of the Nov. 13 Laguna Beach Unified School District board meeting, a board member proposed removing all action items related to bylaws from the agenda because the superintendent and Member Hills were absent. "My next motion is that we'd remove all of the action items concerning the bylaws since the superintendent isn't here and mister Hills isn't here," the member said. The motion did not receive sufficient support and failed by voice vote.

The board then considered a motion to adopt the agenda. A board member moved to adopt and the chair seconded; the agenda was adopted by voice vote and the meeting proceeded to a scheduled special education update. The transcript records affirmative and opposed voice votes but no formal roll-call tally for either the failed motion or the agenda adoption.

The failed motion and the adoption were procedural but shaped the rest of the meeting: governance/bylaw items remained on the published agenda for later consideration, and the board moved forward with the special-education presentation and Q&A.
