Summary
Following a motion by Missus Santangelo, the board tabled an initial request for a special meeting into executive session and later voted to hold a special executive session after the Feb. 17 strategic planning meeting to discuss litigation strategy and a potential liability assessment for pending litigation.
The Hunterdon Central Regional High School Board voted to hold a special executive session to discuss litigation strategy and a potential liability assessment for pending litigation.
Board member Missus Santangelo initially moved for a special meeting within two weeks to address litigation strategy; members debated whether a straw vote was appropriate and whether the matter should first be discussed in executive session. The motion was tabled to executive session for further discussion and action.
After discussing scheduling and advertisement requirements for additional executive sessions, Missus Santangelo moved that the board hold a special executive session immediately following the district's Feb. 17 strategic planning meeting to address litigation strategy and a potential liability assessment for pending litigation. The motion was seconded, the board conducted a roll call and the motion carried.
Board members agreed the Feb. 17 strategic-planning session was already advertised, and that adding an executive-session purpose to that meeting's notice would satisfy public-notice requirements for a closed session. The board recorded roll-call support for holding the executive session on that date.
No substantive details of the litigation or liability assessment were discussed in open session; the board moved to executive session on personnel, litigation and HIB matters later in the meeting.
