Nash County Public Schools board votes to enter closed session to discuss personnel and attorney-client matters
Summary
The Nash County Public Schools board voted to go into closed session to discuss confidential personnel files, initial employment of an individual and to consult with the board attorney under cited North Carolina statutes; the motion was moved by Mr. Edwards and seconded by Mr. Weeks and carried by voice vote.
The Nash County Public Schools board voted to enter a closed session to discuss personnel matters and to consult with the board's attorney.
Board member Mister Edwards moved "that we go into closed session pursuant general statute 1 43 3 18 11 a 1, a 3, a 5, and a 6 to prevent the disclosure of confidential personnel files under general statute 1 15 c 3 21 to consider matters relating to initial employment of an individual employee and to consult with the board's attorney in order to preserve the attorney client privilege," and Mister Weeks seconded the motion. The presiding officer called for a voice vote; those present said "aye," and the presiding officer stated, "Motion carried."
The motion cited state open-meetings and education statutes, as stated on the record, and identified three purposes: to prevent disclosure of confidential personnel files, to consider initial employment of an individual employee, and to consult with legal counsel to preserve attorney-client privilege. The transcript records the motion and the voice vote but does not list individual board members' roll-call votes or a public meeting time or date.
No further public discussion or additional actions on the record followed before the board recessed to closed session. The transcript excerpts supplied end as the board moved into closed session.
The board's reference on the record to statutes corresponds to provisions commonly invoked to allow public bodies to meet privately for limited personnel and attorney-client consultation purposes; the transcript itself uses the numeric citations shown above and refers to confidential personnel information and attorney consultation as the reasons for closing the meeting.
