NHCS Board of Ed. Special Meeting | Oct. 9th 2026

Members discussed his departure from that meeting and its effect on board proceedings and the public; Perry apologized for leaving but disputed the basis for censure. The board voted 6–1 to censure him and remove him from committees until a new board is sworn in, with the censure effective immediately. A separate proposal to grant Perry an additional minute to speak before other members was rejected 6–1.
