The Campbell County School Board convened a closed session during a brief procedural meeting recorded in the transcript after an unidentified board member moved "Motion to convene in closed session for legal counsel." The motion cited Virginia law authorizing closed meetings for consultation with legal counsel.

Unidentified Speaker 2, a board member, moved that the board meet "for consultation with legal counsel employed or retained by a public body regarding specific legal matters requiring the provision of legal advice by such counsel in accordance with section 2.23711 a 8 of the code of Virginia 1950 as amended." Unidentified Speaker 1, the meeting chair, seconded the motion; members responded with vocal "Aye" votes and the chair indicated the motion was approved.

After the closed session the board returned to open session. The chair read a certification statement asking members to confirm that, to the best of their knowledge, only matters lawfully exempted from open meeting requirements by Virginia law and only those matters identified in the motion were discussed. A motion and second to adopt the certification were recorded, members were asked to indicate assent by raising their right hands, and the chair announced, "Motion carries."

The transcript records a final motion to adjourn, a second, and unanimous vocal assent. No substantive details of the legal matters discussed in closed session appear in the public transcript.
