The Garfield Heights City School District Board of Education voted on Aug. 18 to enter executive session to consider the compensation of a public employee or official under division (G)(1) of Ohio Revised Code Section 121.22.

Mrs. Daniels moved to enter executive session and Ms. Morrison seconded. The Board President recommended a start time of 6:25 p.m.; Mrs. Daniels moved the amended time. The board took a roll call vote with Mrs. Daniels, Ms. Morrison, Ms. Thomas and Dr. King voting yes.

The motion invoked Ohio law: Ohio Revised Code §121.22(G)(1) permits a public body to hold an executive session to consider the compensation of a public employee or official. The board said it would have no further public business after the executive session.

Because the discussion occurred in executive session, the transcript does not record the substance of the compensation deliberations. The public record on the meeting shows the board complied with the statutory citation when moving into executive session.
