Unidentified governing board enters closed session to discuss superintendent appointment, later certifies meeting under Virginia code
Summary
An unnamed governing board moved into a closed session to discuss the appointment of a superintendent and individual personnel matters under Virginia Code §2.2-3711, then returned to open session and certified the closed meeting by roll call.
An unnamed governing board met in closed session to discuss the appointment of a superintendent and individual personnel matters, citing Virginia Code §2.2-3711, and later certified that the closed meeting had complied with open-meetings law.
The presider said, “Our purpose is to select the first round of candidates,” and read a motion to go into closed session “to discuss matters related to the appointment of the superintendent and or discussion of individual personnel matters pursuant to Virginia code section 2.2-3711 and consultation with legal counsel regarding certain legal matter requiring the provision of legal advising.” A second was recorded and the presider called for a voice vote; the motion passed and the board entered closed session.
After reconvening in open session, the presider stated that during the closed meeting “the board discussed only public business matters lawfully exempted from open meeting requirements” and asked for a motion to certify the closed meeting. A roll-call certification vote was taken for board members only; Mr. Inman, Mr. Janis, Mr. Jastrow, Mr. McKnight, Mr. Tolliver, Ms. Todd and Mr. Edgar recorded assent and the presider announced the session was certified.
At the start of the meeting the presider acknowledged two personnel items in open session: congratulations to Lloyd on an appointment referenced as related to “the board visitors,” and recognition of Jamie as the board’s newly elected president, with the president serving ex officio on the search committee. No formal appointment of a superintendent or other personnel action was recorded in the open portion of the transcript.
The meeting concluded after the certification vote; a motion to adjourn was made, seconded and approved.
Because substantive discussion about the superintendent and personnel occurred in closed session, the transcript provides no public record of the content of that discussion beyond the motion language and the board’s certification that only permitted topics were discussed.
