Board enters 15-minute executive session to discuss security of buildings and information systems

The board voted unanimously 5-0 to go into executive session "for the purpose of discussing matters relating to the security of the board, the school, the school buildings or facilities or the information system of the school to ensure the security of the school, school buildings or facilities and or the information system of the school are not jeopardized," with the meeting to resume in the boardroom at 7:18 p.m. The motion specified participants to be all board members present, Heather Bohati (superintendent), Dr. Holly Putnam Jackson (listed with honorific), Becky Mader (assistant superintendent of human resources), Dennis Elle Ellege (name as spoken in transcript), and Pamela Kelly (director of finance). A trustee seconded the motion and the board voted "All in favor? Pass 5 0." After the executive session the board moved to adjourn. Why this matters: executive sessions invoked for security reasons limit public discussion about the substance in order to protect security of facilities or information systems. The board recorded the statutory purpose and the list of attendees; no substantive details were released at the resumption of the open meeting. No further action or public disclosure of the executive-session discussion was made at the meeting's close.
