Pender County Schools member moves to hold closed session on confidential personnel matter

At a special called meeting of the Pender County Schools Board of Education, an unidentified board member moved to go into closed session to consider confidential personal matters, according to the meeting transcript. The transcript segment provided records the motion and a second but does not record a vote or whether the board entered closed session.

The motion was described on the record as calling for discussion of confidential information related to “personal matters.” No statutory citation or formal authority was specified in the transcript excerpt, and the transcript does not include the names of the member who moved or the member who seconded the motion.

Meeting remarks in the transcript include an opening greeting and the motion to close the session; other agenda items, any subsequent discussion, and any formal vote are not included in the provided segment. Because the record supplied here is limited, the transcript does not clarify whether the board completed the closed-session procedure or what specific personnel matter was under consideration.

The board did not identify the legal basis for the closed session in the provided excerpt. The motion and second are recorded only as statements in the transcript; no roll-call or tally appears in the segment supplied.
