York County School Board votes 5–0 to enter closed session under FOIA personnel exemption
Summary
At the Nov. 5 special meeting the board voted unanimously to enter closed session under the Virginia Freedom of Information Act personnel exemption to consider a confidential personnel matter; no minutes or recordings will be permitted for closed session.
Near the end of its Nov. 5 special meeting, the York County School Board voted to enter a closed session to discuss a personnel matter under the Virginia Freedom of Information Act.
The motion invoked the personnel exemption (Va. Code §2.2-3711(A)(1)) and stated the subject was the consideration of the disposition of a confidential employee investigation. A motion to close the meeting was moved and seconded, and the board conducted a roll call. The clerk recorded a 5–0 vote to enter closed session; the chair and four board members voted yes. The board expressly stated that no minutes or recordings are permitted for the closed session, consistent with the statute’s confidentiality provisions.
The board returned to open session after the closed session (not transcribed here) and did not state further action in the public record during this meeting. Any formal personnel decisions or contract actions would be reflected in future open-session minutes if and when the board takes public action.
