Summary

The Marblehead School Committee voted unanimously to hold executive session proceedings for collective bargaining with Unit A and to discuss pending litigation in Essex Superior Court, the chair said, citing potential detriment to public bargaining and litigating positions.

The School Committee voted to enter executive session to discuss collective bargaining strategy with Unit A (the Marblehead Teachers Association) and to discuss pending litigation listed as Kelly Ferretti et al. v. Marblehead Public Schools, John Robodeau and Al Williams in Essex Superior Court. The chair stated that an open meeting could be detrimental to the committee's bargaining and litigating positions and declared the committee would not return to open session.

A motion and second were recorded and a roll-call vote showed all members present voting in favor. The committee then relocated to an executive session room to proceed with closed‑door strategy discussions.
