Summary
After a closed session on real property, potential litigation and superintendent evaluation, the Fayette County Board of Education on June 23 authorized its chief legal officer to negotiate a settlement offer discussed in closed session; the vote was 3-0.
The Fayette County Board of Education entered closed session during its June 23 meeting to discuss several matters, including potential property acquisition or sale, proposed or pending litigation and matters required to be private by law. After reconvening in open session, the board authorized the chief legal officer to negotiate the settlement offer discussed in closed session.
Chair Murphy made the motion to authorize negotiation and Board Member Monday moved it; a second was recorded and the board voted in favor. Chair Murphy announced the motion carried 3-0. The board noted Board Member Penny Christian was not present because she was ill.
The board did not provide details of the settlement in open session, citing the closed-session discussion and the confidentiality of the matters described under KRS 61.810 and related statutes.
Ending: The authorization permits the chief legal officer to proceed with negotiations on the terms discussed in closed session; the board will report back with any required public action after negotiations conclude.
