Summary

At the Nov. 11 meeting the board approved the public and consent agendas, moved into executive session citing Maryland Annotated Code §3‑305(b) to discuss personnel matters, collective bargaining, and to receive legal counsel on a matter (including the Child Victims Act of 2023).

The Garrett County Board of Education took routine procedural actions at its Nov. 11 meeting before recessing to closed session.

Early in the meeting the board approved the public agenda (motion by Don; second by Sadie) and approved the consent agenda (motion by Rodney; second by Sadie). The chair then asked for objections to entering executive session to discuss personnel matters, collective bargaining/negotiations, and to receive legal advice; none were raised. Rodney moved to enter executive session, Don seconded, and the board voted in favor.

The chair cited Maryland Annotated Code §3‑305(b) as the statutory basis for the closed session. The board listed the Child Victims Act of 2023 as one legal topic that would receive counsel advice in closed session and stated the personnel topics involved discussion of specific employees, which the board said must be handled confidentially in closed session.

The meeting concluded after regular recognitions, reports, and presentations; the chair later called for and received a motion to adjourn public session (motion carried).
