President Carmen Trujillo moved and the Phoenix Elementary District governing board approved a directive on the evening’s agenda to have the superintendent, district attorneys and real‑estate consultants advance negotiations related to district property on Lincoln and 1st Street.

"I move that we instruct Dr. Gonzalez, our attorneys and real estate consultants, to move forward as discussed in executive session," President Carmen Trujillo said before the roll call vote. The motion was seconded and passed; recorded roll‑call answers included at least one 'No' vote and a majority 'Yes,' allowing staff to proceed with the next steps discussed in the closed session.

The board recessed into executive session earlier under Arizona Revised Statutes section 38‑431.03(A)(3) and (7) "for the purpose of consultation with the attorney and real estate consultants of the public body to consider its position and instruct its representatives regarding negotiations for the potential sale of the district's property on Lincoln and 1st Street," according to the public statement read at the time the board recessed.

The directive the board enacted gives district leadership and its consultants authority to continue negotiations consistent with the instructions provided in the closed session. The board did not disclose the specific terms discussed in executive session; property negotiation details and any final offers or approvals were not made public during the regular meeting.

The motion to instruct staff was recorded by roll call. The meeting record shows the motion carried following the recorded votes. The board recessed to executive session earlier in the meeting and returned to regular session at 6:18 p.m. with that subsequent action taken in public session.
