Hawkeye school board votes 7-0 to enter executive session to seek legal advice
Summary
At its Feb. 25 meeting the Hawkeye Community School District Board of Education voted unanimously to go into executive session to seek advice from counsel; the board announced it would reconvene the public meeting at 8:05 p.m.
The Hawkeye Community School District Board of Education voted 7-0 Feb. 25 to enter an executive session "to seek advice from counsel," the board's presiding officer said.
The board approved the closed session at the start of its Feb. 25 meeting. The presiding officer asked for a motion, saying, "I'll take a motion to go into executive session to seek advice from counsel." Mister Michaels moved the motion and Miss Collins seconded, and the board recorded a 7-0 vote in favor. The board announced the public session would reconvene at 8:05 p.m.
The motion and vote were procedural; the transcript does not record additional detail about the subject matter to be discussed in the executive session, and no statutes, ordinances or specific legal matters were identified on the record. The board did not provide further explanation in the recorded portions of the meeting excerpt.
The action removed that portion of the meeting from the public record while the board sought legal counsel, after which the public session was planned to resume at the announced time.
