At the Nov. 17, 2025 meeting of the St. Louis Board of Education real estate committee the body handled routine procedural items, received a tax-incentive notification and voted to go into closed session.

The committee voted to approve open-session minutes after a motion and second. On the record, members Miss Henry, Mr. Watson, Dr. Berry, Mr. Marston and Mr. Hykes recorded 'yes' votes and the chair announced the motion approved. (Transcript references to which exact meeting date the minutes cover were inconsistent; the chair mentioned "December 2025" while the motion language on the floor referenced the October 27 open-session minutes.)

Staff then notified the committee that Ryze at the Old North Town Home had submitted a 'LITEC' application as required by procedure; staff emphasized Ryze was not requesting a letter of support from the district at this time.

Later, Mr. Marston moved (seconded) to adjourn to closed session under Revised Statutes of Missouri §610.021. Members recorded affirmative votes from Miss Henry, Mr. Watson, Dr. Berry, Mr. Marston, Mr. Hykes and the chair; the chair announced adjournment to closed session at 3:21 p.m.

Actions recorded at this meeting were procedural: approval of minutes and a formal vote to convene a closed session. No board action to grant tax incentives or to approve sales took place on the public record.
