Votes and formal motions at the board meeting — agenda, virtual participation and closed session
Summary
The board approved several procedural motions including allowing one trustee to participate remotely, adopting the amended agenda, and convening a closed session; a proposed calendar change was discussed and the motion withdrawn to allow public input.
This meeting included several formal motions and roll‑call outcomes on procedural items.
Allow remote participation: The board unanimously approved a motion to allow Trustee Stephanie Rizzi to participate virtually via Zoom because she was out of town. The motion was moved by Dr. Harris Mohammed and seconded on the record; a roll call was taken and the motion passed.
Adopt amended agenda: The board adopted an amended agenda that deferred the 2024 audit report and the year‑end whistleblower review, added a school‑year calendar amendment item and included a closed‑session item on legal updates related to Monroe Park cases. The motion to adopt the agenda as amended was moved and seconded and carried by roll call.
Calendar motion rescinded: A motion to amend the instructional calendar to make April 21 an instructional day was moved and seconded during discussion but subsequently rescinded to allow more public notice and input; no final vote on the calendar change was taken.
Closed session: The board voted to convene a closed session to consider personnel grievances, performance evaluations for central office employees, a personnel complaint and legal consultation on audit findings, invoking Va. Code §2.2‑3711(a)(1) and related sections. The motion was moved and seconded and a roll call vote was recorded.
