Board moves to adopt consent agenda and votes to enter closed session under cited statutes
Summary
During the meeting the board received a motion to adopt the consent agenda and later moved, seconded and voted to enter closed session citing multiple statutory sections for personnel, litigation and superintendent evaluation matters; vote tallies were not specified in the transcript excerpt.
The board received a motion to adopt the consent agenda and later voted to enter closed session for matters the chair said fell under several statutory bases, including personnel matters, litigation consultation and the appointment and term of the superintendent.
At the start of the consent portion the chair asked for a motion to adopt the consent agenda; a member moved to approve the consent agenda “as presented.” The transcript does not record a roll-call or final tally in the excerpt provided.
Later the chair read multiple statutory citations and described closed‑session topics (personnel appointments/separations, consideration of religious exemptions, consultation with legal counsel regarding litigation, discussion of the appointment and term of the superintendent and contract matters). A motion to go into closed session was moved by Mr. Graddy and seconded (the second was identified in the transcript as Mr. Divers). The chair then directed members to raise their right hands and said “We are hereby closed,” indicating the motion carried and the board entered closed session. The transcript excerpt does not include a public roll-call vote tally in the text provided.
The board followed the statutory procedure described in the meeting when moving into closed session; the transcript excerpt ends after the meeting formally closed to the public for the listed reasons.
