The Glenrock Board of Education voted unanimously to enter a closed session to discuss legal matters, citing attorney-client privilege and Public Law 1975, Chapter 231, the board said at its meeting that began at 6:01 p.m.
A board member read a resolution stating the board must discuss legal matters "which include attorney client privilege" and that those subjects are exempt from public discussion "pursuant to PL 1975 chapter 231." The read motion initially said information would be made available to the public "at the next regularly scheduled meeting or as soon thereafter, as possible, but no later than 08/25/2025," but the board removed the paragraph that would have set that release timeline before the formal vote.
Miss Stevenson moved the motion and Mr. Corey seconded it. A roll-call vote recorded "yes" from Miss Caricella, Mr. Cohen, Mr. Corey, Mr. Hayward, Ms. Parramos, Ms. Rundell, Ms. Stevenson, Miss Calvez and Dr. Robinson. The presiding board member announced, "We're in closed session," and clarified that "no action will be taken when we come out of the closed session."
Why it matters: The board invoked a statutory exemption that allows private discussion of certain legal and privileged matters. The removal of the provision setting a public-release deadline means the board did not commit, in public session, to a specific timeline for releasing information discussed in closed session.
Context and next steps: The board read notice that the meeting had been posted and mailed on July 21, 2025. The board then moved immediately into a closed session; the board indicated publicly that no action would be taken following the closed session. The transcript does not record the content of the closed session.
What the board cited: The motion referenced Public Law 1975, Chapter 231 and attorney-client privilege as the basis for the closed-session exemption.
