Woodburn SD 103 board votes to authorize vice chair to gather information on executive‑session complaint
Summary
At a special meeting, the Woodburn School District board moved into executive session under ORS 192.660 and then voted unanimously to authorize the vice chair to obtain additional information about a complaint discussed in that closed session; the meeting opened at 5:45 p.m. and adjourned at 6:39 p.m.
The Woodburn School District Board of Directors voted unanimously to authorize the vice chair to collect additional information about a personnel-related complaint discussed in executive session. The motion, introduced by the chair and seconded by a board member, passed 5 to 0.
The board met in a special session called to order at 5:45 p.m. The meeting opened with the Pledge of Allegiance and the board’s adoption of the meeting agenda by unanimous vote. The chair then announced the board would move into executive session under ORS 192.660(2)(b), citing the statute that allows closed deliberations to consider dismissal, disciplining or complaints against a public officer or employee who does not request an open hearing. The transcript does not specify the meeting date or location beyond “this evening.”
Upon returning to open session, the chair said, “I move we delegate the authority to the vice chair to obtain additional information about the complaint discussed in the executive session.” A board member seconded the motion, and the chair called for a vote. The motion carried, 5 to 0. The board adjourned at 6:39 p.m.
The action is procedural: the board authorized the vice chair to seek more information but provided no public detail about the complaint or the substance of executive-session deliberations, which are protected under the cited provision of the Oregon Revised Statutes. No further public decisions were recorded in the transcript.
