The Salt Lake County School Board voted to enter a closed executive session on Monday, Dec. 30, 2024, to discuss “the character, professional competence, or physical or mental health of an individual” and “pending or reasonably imminent litigation,” and agreed to adjourn immediately after the closed session.

The board approved the motion to hold the closed session after a roll-call vote in which Board member Ashley Anderson, Board member Nate Salazar, Board member Mohand, Board member Bridal Jensen, Board member Chrissy Sweat, Board member Bryce Williams and Board member Jenny Cica each voted yes. The motion carried.

The motion read in the meeting record: “I move that on Monday, December 30, 2024, the board meeting closed session to discuss, first, the character, professional competence, or physical or mental health of an individual, and second, pending or reasonably imminent litigation, and that the board adjourn immediately following the closed session.” That text appears verbatim in the meeting transcript; attribution for the mover was not specified in the record.

Board members conducted a roll-call to record votes on the motion. After the tally was announced, the chair said, “That motion carries.” The transcript records no further public discussion of the substantive topics before the meeting recessed into closed session.

Because the matters listed for the closed session concern personnel and litigation, they are not public under state open-meeting exceptions and no additional details were disclosed in the public record during this meeting.
