Cabot School District board approves personnel after executive session

The Cabot School District board of education met in a special call in June, moved into executive session to consider employment matters and real property, then reconvened in public and approved personnel as presented, a board member said.

The board announced it would "move into executive session to consider the employment, appointment, promotion, demotion, or resignation of employees and to discuss real property." Those discussions took place behind closed doors; the board later took a public vote on personnel.

When the meeting returned to public session, a board member moved to "approve personnel as it was presented." Another board member seconded the motion; the board adopted the motion by voice vote. During the reconvened session a board member said, "All in favor, say 'aye.'" After the call for opposition, the board declared, "Motion carries." The meeting then was adjourned.

The transcript does not identify the names of the mover or seconder, does not include a recorded roll-call vote, and does not disclose the personnel actions or details of the real property discussion because those topics were discussed in executive session.

Because the substantive discussions about employees and property occurred in executive session, the public record in this meeting contains only the board's motion to approve personnel and the voice vote outcome.
