School board records votes on closed-meeting certification, land purchases and routine agenda items
Summary
At the start of the session the Albemarle County School Board certified a closed meeting by recorded vote, authorized staff to pursue purchase of three parcels discussed in closed session, and approved the night's agenda and consent agenda by voice votes.
The Albemarle County School Board on Tuesday recorded several formal actions at the start of its meeting, including certification of a closed meeting, authorization for staff to pursue land purchases and routine agenda approvals.
The board voted by roll call to certify its closed meeting. The certification motion was made by Graham Page (school board member, Millmont District) and seconded by Judy Lee (school board member, Ravenna District). The board took a roll-call vote in which Page, Chair Jade Acuff, Lee, Ellen Osborne, Rebecca Berlin, Allison Spillman and Leslie Pryor cast recorded "yes" votes; the motion passed.
The board also made a separate motion coming out of closed session to "authorize staff to pursue the purchase of parcels of land a, b, and c on the terms discussed in closed meeting." The motion was made by "Miss Billman" (as recorded in the transcript) and seconded by Judy Lee. The board approved that authorization by voice vote; the transcript records the motion as passing but does not record a roll-call tally.
In addition, the board approved the night's agenda and the consent agenda by voice votes. Dr. Rebecca Berlin moved to approve the agenda and Judy Lee seconded; the board approved the agenda by voice vote. The consent agenda was moved by Judy Lee and seconded by Allison Spillman and approved by voice vote.
