The Rochester City School District Board of Education recessed into an executive session on a motion by Vice President Malloy, seconded by Commissioner Griffin, to discuss matters related to the employment of a particular individual and to receive legal advice pursuant to Section 105 of the open meetings law.

The board’s opening statement noted, “The board may recess into executive session this morning to discuss matters related to the employment of a particular individual or other matters permitted by section 105 of the open meetings law and to receive the advice of the general counsel,” as read by a board staff member. The motion to enter executive session was made by Vice President Malloy and seconded by Commissioner Griffin; those present responded “Aye,” and the meeting moved into executive session.

The transcript records the purpose of the executive session as twofold: discussion of the employment of a particular individual and receipt of legal counsel. No further details on the individual, any proposed personnel action, or a recorded roll-call tally of votes were specified in the public transcript. The board stated only that it would recess into executive session and then did so.

The board cited Section 105 of the open meetings law as the basis for the closed session. The public portions of the meeting did not include additional discussion of the personnel matter or any formal action taken during the executive session; the transcript ends with the board entering the closed session.

No dates, dollar amounts, or further procedural directions (such as who would report back publicly) were provided in the recorded public remarks.
