Barre Unified Union School District board authorizes chair to negotiate superintendent contract
Summary
After an executive session under VSA 313(a)(1) to discuss contracts and the superintendent search, the Barre Unified Union School District board authorized the chair to enter negotiations for a superintendent contract; the motion was made by Emily and seconded by Garrett and approved by voice vote.
The Barre Unified Union School District Board entered executive session to discuss the superintendent search and contracts and later authorized the board chair to enter into negotiations for a superintendent contract.
The board first moved into executive session under VSA 313(a)(1), with Catherine making the motion and Jackie seconding; the motion passed by voice vote. The board stated the reason for the executive session as: premature public knowledge regarding contracts would place the board at a substantial disadvantage by risking disclosure of negotiating strategy.
After the executive session the board returned to open session and Emily made a motion “to authorize the chair to enter into negotiations for a superintendent contract.” The motion was seconded by Garrett and approved by voice vote. The board invited a staff member identified in the meeting as Dave to participate in the executive-session discussion of item 8.1.
No contract terms were disclosed during the public portion of the meeting. The board’s recorded action was authorization to begin negotiations; any final contract would require additional formal action recorded at a future public meeting.
