Board approves closed‑session personnel actions, religious exemptions and legal recommendations
Summary
Following a closed session, the board certified the closed meeting and approved appointments/releases, two religious‑exemption requests (RE25-18 and RE25-19), and authorized legal‑counsel recommendations; all motions were approved by recorded voice votes.
After a closed session on Nov. 18, the Prince William County School Board returned to open session and took several formal actions.
The board adopted a certification resolution that to the best of each member’s knowledge only lawfully exempted public business was discussed in closed session; the certification passed by recorded voice vote (7 yes, unanimous).
In subsequent motions the board: - Approved the appointment and release of specific employees as presented in closed session (motion by Vice Chair Tracy Blake; vote recorded 7 yes). - Approved requests for religious exemptions from compulsory school attendance for case numbers RE25‑18 and RE25‑19 (motion moved and approved; vote recorded 7 yes). - Authorized actions recommended by legal counsel as discussed in closed session (motion and approval recorded as 7 yes).
Separately, the board approved the public meeting consent agenda (voice vote reported 7 yes). No additional details about the individual employee actions or legal recommendations were disclosed in open session as these items originated in closed session.
