Summary
Following a closed session held under the Virginia Freedom of Information Act, the Orange County School Board certified the closed meeting, approved personnel actions discussed in closed session, and voted to uphold the superintendent's decision in an appeal (EP 1).
The Orange County School Board convened a closed meeting under the Virginia Freedom of Information Act to discuss personnel matters and legal consultation. After returning to open session, the board certified that the closed meeting conformed to Virginia law and then acted on personnel recommendations discussed in closed session.
Miss Dawson read the closed-session certification citing Va. Code §§ 2.2-3711(a) and 2.2-3711(a)(8). The clerk reported the roll call certification vote as 4 yes, 0 no, with one member absent; the resolution was approved 4–0.
