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.
