The subjects to be discussed or considered or upon which any formal action may be taken are listed above. Items do not have to be taken in the same order as shown on this Notice. If, during the course of the meeting covered by this Notice, the Board should determine that a closed meeting of the Board should be held or is required in relation to any item regarding the Fort Worth Academy of Fine Arts (FWAFA)* or Texas School of the Arts (TeSA)* included in this notice, then such closed meeting is authorized by Texas Government Code Section 551.001, et. seq., including for any of the following reasons:
Should any final action, final decision or final vote be required in the opinion of the Board with regard to any matter considered in such closed meeting, then such final action, final decision or final vote shall be at either:
A. the open meeting covered by this notice upon the reconvening of this public meeting, or B. at a subsequent public meeting of the Board upon notice thereof, as the Board shall determine. *While FWAFA and TeSA are public charter schools and, therefore, subject to the Texas Open Meetings Act, Texas Boys Choir and Texas Dance, Art, and Music Conservatories are not subject to the Open Meetings Act. Therefore, the Board may choose to discuss Texas Boys Choir and Texas Dance, Art, and Music Conservatory agenda items in an open or closed meeting as the Board deems most appropriate. |
