Summary

The board entered closed session under Code of Virginia authority, returned to open session and approved the superintendent's personnel recommendations and a change in the superintendent's contract status by voice vote.

The Wythe County School Board went into closed session under statutory authority cited in the meeting and, upon returning to open session, approved personnel recommendations and action on the superintendent's contract.

A motion was made to enter closed session citing the Code of Virginia (transcript references Section 2.2-3711). After the closed session the board reconvened in open session. Mister Goode moved to approve the superintendent's personnel recommendations; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote. The board then voted to approve the superintendent (Dr. Poole)'s new contract status after a motion, second and voice vote, and members congratulated Dr. Poole on approval.

The transcript records motions, seconds and voice approvals but does not include a roll-call vote or recorded tallies by name. The approvals were recorded as board actions taken after closed-session deliberations.
