Suffolk School Board certifies closed meeting compliance with Virginia law

The Suffolk City Public School Board held a meeting on July 10, 2025, where members reconvened to certify the proceedings of a prior closed meeting. The certification was conducted in accordance with Section 2.2-3712 of the Code of Virginia, which mandates that school boards confirm that closed meetings comply with state law.

During the session, the board members affirmed that only matters exempt from open meeting requirements were discussed. The resolution was moved by Board Member Brittingham and seconded by Board Member Slingluff, receiving unanimous approval from all present members.

Following the certification, the board announced a brief recess for dinner, with plans to reconvene in 25 minutes to continue the business meeting. This procedural step underscores the board's commitment to transparency and adherence to legal standards in its operations.
