Norfolk School Board certifies closed session and approves personnel report

The Norfolk City Public School Board convened on June 4, 2025, to discuss key administrative matters, including the approval of a personnel report following a closed executive session. The meeting began with a motion to exit the closed session, which was unanimously approved by board members.

During the session, the board certified that the discussions held were in compliance with the Virginia Freedom of Information Act, confirming that only public business matters were addressed. Following this, the agenda was amended to include a vote on the personnel report, which was also approved after a brief discussion.

One board member expressed concern regarding the timing of the personnel report, noting that it was received less than 24 hours before the meeting. Despite this concern, the board voted in favor of the report, with all members supporting it except for one who voiced dissatisfaction with the notification process.

The meeting concluded shortly after the personnel report was approved, with the board members expressing their commitment to transparency and effective communication moving forward.
