WCPSS board votes to enter closed session citing statutory exceptions
Summary
At the Feb. 18 work session the Wake County Board of Education voted to move into closed session to discuss confidential personnel and safety matters; the motion was made by Mr. Hershey and seconded by Ms. Mahaffey and the board voted in favor.
At the close of the Feb. 18 Wake County Public School System Board of Education work session, Board Chair Mr. Haggerty asked for a motion to enter closed session to consider confidential personnel and safety matters.
Board member Mr. Hershey moved to enter closed session "to consider confidential personal information" citing statutory authority; Ms. Mahaffey seconded the motion. The chair asked for the ayes; an affirmative response was recorded and the board moved into closed session.
In introducing the motion, the chair referenced state statutory authority for closed sessions as recited in the meeting (quoted in the transcript as "g s 1 4 3 Dash 1 sorry. 318-1186 and 115319"). The specific statutory citations were read aloud by the chair as part of the motion; the transcript records the cited statute text as spoken but does not provide the formal statute citation in a standard format.
The board cleared the room and proceeded with the closed-session agenda items that were described earlier in the meeting as unfinished from the safety and security committee.
