At a meeting of the Redford Union Schools District No. 1 board, members discussed a motion to consider a written opinion from legal counsel and whether the motion must name pending litigation.
Speaker 1 introduced a motion "to consider a written opinion of legal counsel," and later asked whether the motion should identify "the litigation's name," saying people "have information about it." The motion was seconded, and no vote or final disposition was recorded in the provided transcript.
Speaker 2 advised that materials "otherwise exempt from disclosure," including those protected by attorney–client privilege, must be cited in the motion to authorize a closed session. As Speaker 2 put it, "That's all that needs to be cited in the motion in order to go into, a closed session by law." The transcript does not cite a specific statute or ordinance.
The discussion centered on the scope of information to be referenced in the motion—whether to identify the litigation by name or to rely on a privilege citation to meet legal requirements for a closed session. The record includes no further detail on whether the board subsequently entered a closed session or whether counsel provided a written opinion at that meeting.
The meeting time was noted as "5PM" at the start of the transcript. No additional administrative actions, votes, or timelines were recorded in the segments provided.
