Patrick County School Board certifies closed session, approves personnel report and adjourns

At the meeting, the Patrick County School Board certified that a closed meeting complied with the Virginia Freedom of Information Act, approved a personnel report as amended and then adjourned, the chair said.

The chair read a resolution that began, "Now therefore be it resolved that the Patrick County School Board ... certifies that to the best of each member's knowledge" that only matters lawfully exempted under Virginia law were discussed. The chair identified the statutory source only as a section of the Code of Virginia cited during the meeting; the exact section number was not specified in the transcript.

During the roll call on the certification, Mr. Scott, Mr. Martin and Mr. Harold each answered "yes," and the chair said they also voted "aye," approving the certification. After the certification, the chair moved to approve the personnel report as amended; the motion carried on a voice vote. The chair then moved to adjourn the meeting, and members responded "aye." The transcript records no further details on the personnel report's contents or vote tallies beyond the recorded voice approvals.

The meeting record contains no additional agenda items or public comment on these matters in the provided transcript excerpt. The board's certification of the closed session is the formal statement required after a closed meeting to confirm that the board discussed only topics legally allowed in private under state law.
