Board authorizes legal counsel to proceed on Owens litigation after executive session
Summary
After an executive session on personnel and threatened litigation, the board authorized legal counsel to proceed on Owens et al. v. Santa Fe Public Schools (case numbers read into the record).
After returning from an executive session in which limited personnel matters and threatened litigation were discussed, the Santa Fe Public Schools Board authorized legal counsel to proceed in the Owens et al. litigation.
A board member read the specific NMSA citations that justified executive session (NMSA 1978 §10‑15‑1(H)(2) and §10‑15‑1(H)(7)) and read the case captions and numbers into the record. Following public session discussion, the board made a motion to authorize legal counsel to proceed and the motion carried by voice vote. The mover stated that no action had been taken in executive session aside from discussion; the subsequent vote authorized counsel to take steps as discussed in closed session.
The board did not discuss details of the legal strategy in public.
