Summary
The Petersburg City Public Schools School Board moved into a closed session to discuss prospective candidates under the Code of Virginia and unanimously approved a final personnel agenda and an operations and support staff salary adjustment schedule.
PETERSBURG, Va. — The Petersburg City Public Schools School Board voted to go into a closed meeting to discuss personnel matters and later approved the district's final personnel agenda and an operations and support staff salary adjustment schedule.
Board Chair Kenneth L. Pritchett called the special meeting to order at 5:30 p.m. and asked for a motion to close the public meeting. Board member Dace moved, "I move that the school board go into a closed meeting to discuss personnel as authorized by section 2.2-3711(a)(1) of the Code of Virginia for purposes of discussion and consideration of prospective candidates for employment." Steven L. Pierce Sr. seconded the motion and members voted in favor.
The closed session was convened under section 2.2-3711(a)(1) of the Code of Virginia, which permits discussion of prospective candidates for employment. After the closed session, the board conducted the certification required by section 2.2-3712(d) of the Virginia Freedom of Information Act. Chair Pritchett asked whether any member believed there had been a departure from the permissible topics; no member raised a concern, and the board completed a roll call certification.
Following certification, the superintendent (name not specified in the transcript) presented recommendations. "It is the superintendent's recommendation that the school board approve the final personnel agenda and the operations and support staff salary adjustment schedule as provided," the superintendent said. A motion to accept the superintendent's recommendation was made (mover not specified in the record); Steven L. Pierce Sr. was recorded as seconding. The board voted in favor and the motion carried.
The meeting record includes a brief announcement that student hearings are scheduled the following night involving 30 students. No additional details or financial amounts for the salary adjustments were specified in the transcript.
No departures from the closed-session motion were reported during the post-session certification and no dissenting votes were recorded on the personnel agenda and salary schedule approval in the provided transcript excerpt.
