# Speaker roster — Vigo County Oversight Board, 2026-01-12

Resolved against the transcript for
[[Ledger/Meetings/2026-01-12-vigo-county-oversight-board.md]]. No agenda was
available for this meeting (`<agenda_unavailable/>`), so this roster relies
entirely on transcript-internal evidence. 16 of the diarization labels carried
enough speech to attempt resolution; 28 sparse labels (of 44 total) were
pre-merged into `<other>` by the transcript provider and are out of scope for
this roster.

## Notes for the highlight stage

- **The superintendent — "Dr. Hensel," `probable` — is split across four
  diarization labels** (`speaker_16`, `speaker_32`, `speaker_35`,
  `speaker_41`), with `speaker_35` becoming the dominant label for roughly the
  back two-thirds of the meeting. This is the same person the 2026-06-25
  oversight-board roster resolved as "Dr. Hensel" (there transcribed
  "Hemsle"/"Hensel"; here the chair says "Hemsall"). The spelling "Dr. Hensel"
  is kept for continuity rather than re-litigated per meeting — see that
  roster's own note on the same ambiguity. No self-identification exists in
  this transcript; the two direct-address naming events quoted above are the
  full evidentiary basis, which is why this stays `probable` rather than
  `confirmed`.
- **"Jim" (Gibraltar Design), `speaker_22`, `probable`** — introduced by name
  at the top of the presentation and addressed by name again near the close
  by the superintendent. Distinct from the district's own presentation
  content throughout: Jim and his colleagues own the construction-logistics
  and site-planning material, the superintendent owns the budget/enrollment/
  staffing material. No merge candidates for this label in this meeting
  (unlike 2026-06-25, no other Gibraltar-team voices carried enough sparse
  speech to surface as a numbered label here).
- **`speaker_73` is a genuine ambiguity, not resolved.** Its first appearance
  is a clean mid-sentence completion of "Jim"'s own sentence; its second, in
  an unrelated section near the end, has no textual link to Jim or to any
  other resolved label. Rather than merge on the stronger of two
  contradictory readings, it is left `role_only` and unnamed — a future
  meeting with cleaner diarization on this voice may resolve it.
- **The chair (`speaker_4`) is never named.** Function (opening the meeting,
  entertaining motions, directing the presentation, running public comment)
  is the only evidence, consistent with the chair's role in the 2026-06-25
  roster for this same body.
- **"Mark" (`speaker_74`, `probable`) appears to be school-corporation
  business/finance staff** — addressed by name once by another speaker, then
  answers with a specific budget figure. Not linked to "Don," whom the
  superintendent separately references in this transcript as someone he
  meets with on the numbers; there is no evidence the two names refer to the
  same person, so no merge is made.
- **"Debbie Constantine" (`speaker_165`, `confirmed`) is the meeting's only
  public commenter** with enough speech to resolve, asking about pre-K
  facility planning and special-education space. Self-identification and a
  first-name address both clear the bar.
- **No vote, accusation, or characterization of a third party is attributed to
  any `probable` or `role_only` name in this roster.** "Dr. Hensel," "Jim,"
  and "Mark" are the only probable names here; none of the quoted material
  casts a vote or characterizes a third party, so all may carry the probable
  name in highlight prose per §12b, with `confidence: flagged` on any
  highlight that uses them. This meeting includes no roll-call or voice vote
  at all — only a motion to approve minutes and a closing motion to adjourn,
  neither contested.

No voice-match data exists for this meeting; all `basis`/`attribution_basis`
entries are textual.
