# Speaker roster — Vigo County Oversight Board, 2026-02-02

Resolved against the transcript for [[Ledger/Meetings/2026-02-02-vigo-county-oversight-board.md]].
20 of the diarization labels carried enough speech to attempt resolution; 34
sparse labels (of 54 total) were pre-merged into `<other>` by the transcript
provider and are out of scope for this roster. No agenda was available for
this meeting, so this roster relies on transcript-internal evidence plus the
prior roster resolved for this same body
(`Ledger/Meetings/2026-06-25-vigo-county-oversight-board.speakers.md`).

## Notes for the highlight stage

- **The chair is never named**, exactly as in the 2026-06-25 meeting for this
  body. `speaker_5` (opens the meeting, entertains and closes the minutes
  motion) and `speaker_189` (invites and directs public comment) are merged
  as one person on identical presiding-officer function — the two labels
  never overlap in time and no other label performs either function. Stays
  `role_only`.
- **The superintendent is "Dr. Hensel," `probable`**, reusing the spelling
  the 2026-06-25 roster for this body settled on. This transcript's own ASR
  renders the name four different ways ("Hemswell," "Hemsall," "Himsel,"
  "Himsell") and never cleanly self-identifies or is directly addressed by
  name early on; the grade rests on the same pattern as before — introducing
  and handing off to Gibraltar's "Jim," then giving the district-level
  options analysis in first person plural. `speaker_13` and `speaker_69`
  merge on repeated mid-sentence diarization splits during the option-by-
  option savings walkthrough.
- **"Jim" (Gibraltar Design) splits into three labels this time**
  (`speaker_22`/`25`/`17`), consistent with the prior meeting's finding that
  the Gibraltar team fragments across several diarization clusters. `22`/`25`
  merge on clean mid-sentence splits during the technical presentation;
  `17`'s later brief financial confirmations during the Q&A are consistent
  with the same role and are not contradicted by any other label, but carry
  no direct textual splice, so the merge is kept at the same `probable`
  grade rather than promoted.
- **Two board members carry a probable first name via a single naming event
  each, both independently corroborated by the 2026-06-25 roster for this
  body**: "Mark" (`speaker_36`, named in the third person by a fellow board
  member — a board member named Mark also seconds a motion in the prior
  meeting) and "Heather" (`speaker_75`, directly addressed by Dr. Hensel — a
  board member named Heather also makes a motion in the prior meeting).
  Neither reaches `confirmed`; both are real, evidenced best guesses per
  §12b and should render as probable names with `confidence: flagged` in any
  highlight that uses them.
- **"Rick Burger," `confirmed`** — a public commenter who self-identifies by
  full name and states he is also a sitting Vigo County School Corp. board
  member, speaking today as a taxpayer.
- **A second public commenter, "Marques" (`speaker_193`/`210`), is
  `probable`** on the chair's direct address alone ("Mr. Marques, come on
  up.") — no self-identification recovers a spelling, so this is the
  chair's best rendering of the name, not a verified one.
- **A short staff cluster (`speaker_213`/`216`/`208`) answers a budget-
  percentage question from the floor** but is never named; kept `role_only`
  rather than guessed as "Donna" (mentioned by a board member earlier in the
  meeting as the likely source of payroll figures) because no textual link
  ties this cluster to that name.
- **`speaker_200` is a single ambiguous interjection** ("I used to be
  taller") with no textual continuity to any other label. Left unresolved
  rather than merged on a guess.
- **No vote, accusation, or characterization of a third party is attributed
  to any `probable` name in this roster.** "Dr. Hensel," "Jim," "Mark,"
  "Heather," and "Marques" are all probable-only; none casts a vote or
  characterizes a third party in the quoted material, so all may carry the
  probable name in highlight prose per §12b with `confidence: flagged`.

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