Summary
The board voted to enter closed session to discuss two personnel matters, a collective-bargaining update, and security/cybersecurity concerns under the Virginia FOIA; the motion was moved and seconded and carried by voice vote.
A board member moved that the Albemarle County School Board go into a closed meeting under the Virginia Freedom of Information Act, citing personnel matters, a collective-bargaining update and security-related briefings. "I move that the school board of Albemarle County, Virginia go into a closed meeting as authorized by the Virginia Freedom of Information Act," said Jerry Acuff during the public portion of the meeting.
The motion identified three specific purposes: discussion of two personnel items and application of school board policy; consultation with legal counsel about collective bargaining (the transcript references a bargaining update with the "AdMob Model Education Association"); and briefings on plans to protect public safety related to terrorist activity and cybersecurity threats. The chair identified the statutory authority as section 2‑2‑3711(a) of the Code of Virginia when recognizing the motion.
The motion was seconded and approved by voice vote; the chair then closed the public portion of the meeting and said the board would begin with the security portion of the closed session. The board indicated the personnel items and the bargaining update would be discussed in closed session and did not provide further details during the public meeting.
