Board votes to go into executive session to discuss pending federal-court litigation
Summary
The board approved a motion to enter executive session to discuss pending litigation naming the Terrebonne Parish School Board, superintendent and board president as defendants in a case filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana.
The Terrebonne Parish School Board voted Jan. 18 to move into executive session to discuss pending litigation filed in federal court that names the district and several officials as defendants.
The board announced the litigation by listing plaintiffs and the U.S. District Court docket number 2:21-cv-01144 in the Eastern District of Louisiana. The matter named multiple plaintiffs and defendants including the Terrebonne Parish School Board, the Terrebonne Parish School District, Superintendent Philip Martin and Board President Gregory Harding, both individually and in their official capacities.
Roger Dale DeHart moved the motion for executive session and it was seconded by Clyde Hamner. Board members discussed pausing the livestream prior to taking up the executive session. The transcript shows the motion to go into executive session was made and seconded and that the live broadcast was paused to permit the closed session; the record does not include the executive session’s discussion or any further public action because those portions are by rule confidential and not recorded in the public transcript excerpt.
The board returned to open session after the executive-session discussion (not detailed in the public excerpt) and continued the agenda.
