Summary
At a Sept. 30 special meeting, the Rowan County Board of Education voted to go into closed session under KRS 61.810(1)(b) to discuss potential real property transactions, pending litigation, personnel matters and the superintendent’s evaluation; no substantive matters were disclosed on the public record.
ROWAN COUNTY — The Rowan County Board of Education held a special called meeting Sept. 30, 2024, at 6 p.m. and voted to enter a closed session under Kentucky Revised Statutes KRS 61.810(1)(b), the presider said.
The presider read the statutory authority aloud and said the discussion would cover deliberations on the acquisition or sale of real property by a public agency, proposed or pending litigation involving the agency, personnel matters that could lead to appointment, dismissal or discipline of an individual employee, member or student, and the superintendent’s evaluation. ‘‘We’re going to go into closed session,’’ the presider said.
A motion to enter closed session was made and seconded on the record; the transcript does not identify who moved or seconded. The presider called for a voice vote; those present responded ‘‘Aye,’’ and the presider stated the motion passed. The record does not include individual roll-call votes or counts.
The presider noted general personnel matters may not be discussed in private and reiterated the narrow topics the board listed under the statute. The board recessed into closed session and said it would remain there until it had completed its discussions. No substantive details of the closed-session deliberations were disclosed in the public minutes or on the audio transcript provided.
The board’s action followed the single-item agenda for the special meeting. Any decisions or outcomes from the closed session will be disclosed if and when the board returns to open session and records them in accordance with applicable law.
