The Smithfield School Committee convened on September 4, 2025, to address several key matters, including a motion to enter executive session for legal advice related to an ongoing case. The committee discussed the case of PC-2025-04098, involving Thomas Smithfield and others, in accordance with the Maryland Open Meetings Act.

The committee members voted unanimously to move into executive session, with all present members—Miss Godfrey, Miss Sowell, and Miss LeBlanc—expressing their approval. The session will also include a review of minutes from previous executive sessions held on July 24, July 28, and August 12, 2025.

In addition to the executive session, the committee approved the open minutes from their meetings on August 21 and August 28, as well as the minutes from a site visit meeting held on August 21. The approval of bills was also on the agenda, although specific details regarding the bills were not discussed in the transcript.

This meeting highlights the committee's ongoing commitment to transparency and adherence to legal protocols while managing school district affairs. Further updates on the outcomes of the executive session and the approved bills are anticipated in future meetings.
