Summary
At a March 29 special meeting, the Mount Vernon City School District board approved a temporary clerk appointment and authorized a closed executive session to discuss pending litigation and personnel matters; the board did not return to public session.
At a special meeting March 29, the Mount Vernon City School District board voted to appoint Lori Perriello as clerk pro tem and authorized an executive session to discuss pending litigation, financial-history matters and personnel issues.
The board approved Resolution 1 to appoint Lori Perriello as clerk pro tem after a motion and a voice vote. The meeting minutes do not record a roll-call vote or a numerical tally in the public record; the chair called for "Aye," asked "Opposed? Abstain," and then stated, "motion carries." The board then took up Resolution 2.1.
Resolution 2.1 authorized the board to enter executive session “for the purpose of discussing pending litigation, the financial history, a particular person, corporation, or matters leading to the appointment, employment, demotion, discipline, suspension, dismissal, a removal of a particular person or corporation, and to receive legal advice on a pending matter.” A motion and a second were made and the board again voted by voice; the minutes provided in the transcript do not include a numerical vote tally. After the vote, a staff member announced, "We will be entering into executive session and we will not be returning today. Thank you."
No additional public business was conducted before the meeting ended and the board moved into closed session.
Meeting officials did not specify timelines, the numerical vote tallies, or further action items in the public portion of the transcript.
