Board votes to enter closed session citing personnel and student-privacy statutes
Summary
At the close of the work session trustees voted to enter a closed session to consider confidential personnel information, confidential student information and to consult with counsel under cited North Carolina statutes and FERPA.
The Wake County Schools Board voted to enter closed session at the end of its MARC 4 work session to consider confidential personnel and student records and to consult with legal counsel.
Board member Mr. Hershey moved to enter closed session, and the motion was seconded by Miss Mahaffey. The motion cited North Carolina General Statutes and federal student-privacy law in the formal motion text: G.S. 143‑318.11(A)(6), G.S. 115C‑402, and the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (20 U.S.C. 1232g). The Board took a voice vote; all members present said “aye,” and the chair announced, “The ayes have it,” before clearing the room for closed session.
The motion text presented in open session named the statutory bases for confidentiality and attorney‑client consultation; no further details about the personnel or student matters were presented in open session.
