Patrick County School Board certifies closed session, approves amended personnel lists and terminates case 2025-2026-1

The Patrick County School Board on a meeting date not specified certified that a recent closed session complied with the Virginia Freedom of Information Act, approved two amended personnel-report lists and voted to terminate case number 2025-2026-1.

The board’s chair opened the public certification by asking members to affirm the closed-session certification required by state law, citing “section 2.1-344(d) of the Code of Virginia” as the provision requiring certification. The chair then asked members individually to state their votes; board members answered in the affirmative and the chair said, “We are now out of closed session.”

The board then considered two personnel-report motions described in the meeting as “personnel report list number 1 as amended” and “personnel report list 2 as amended.” Unidentified board members moved and seconded those approvals on the record; the motions were carried with votes recorded verbally as “Aye.” The transcript records no roll-call tally for those items beyond the verbal “Aye” responses.

Separately, a board member moved to terminate case number 2025-2026-1. That motion was seconded and carried after members voiced their approval. The transcript does not specify the nature of the case beyond its case number (2025-2026-1) or provide additional factual detail about staff or student status.

Before adjourning, the chair confirmed the board’s next scheduled meeting as November 13 (year not specified) and the meeting was then adjourned.

The actions recorded in the meeting minutes and the transcript are procedural approvals and a termination vote; no further discussion or background on the terminated case or the specific personnel actions was provided in the transcript.
