Dayton City school board exits executive session on personnel matter; records seven affirmative votes

The Board of Education of the Dayton City School District moved to exit an executive session concerning the appointment, employment or dismissal of a public employee and recorded seven affirmative votes, the meeting record shows.

The action to end the closed session began when a board member said, “Let the record show that the Board of Education of Dayton City School District has just completed an executive session during which it considered the appointment employment dismissal of a public employee. I move that we exit executive session. Is there a second? 2nd.” A roll-call sequence in the transcript shows President Goodwin, Mr. Smith, Miss Week, Mrs. Reinhart, Mr. Lacey, Dr. Bailey and Mr. Walker indicating “yes,” which the chair summarized as “7 yeses.”

The board did not disclose details of the personnel matter in the public record. After the vote to leave executive session, members discussed a second portion of the earlier motion (referred to in the transcript as the “PhD parts”), asked if there were questions and then proceeded to a public vote sequence; the transcript records members again indicating affirmatives without additional public detail on the personnel decision.

Later in the meeting, a motion to adjourn was made and seconded; the transcript records members’ oral affirmations and the chair concluding the vote. The meeting closed thereafter. The transcript does not provide further public specifics about the subject considered in executive session or identify the specific personnel action taken in open session.
