Planning and Development Committee enters closed session to consider appointment candidates

At a March 5, 2026 meeting, the Planning and Development Committee of the Fairfax County School Board voted unanimously to enter a closed session to consider candidates for appointment as community members and to consult with legal counsel on personnel matters. The public meeting began at 6:45 p.m. and adjourned at 6:47 p.m.

The chair announced that Miss Pitches had notified the chair and the deputy clerk that she would participate remotely because she is caregiving for an individual with a disability. The chair said Miss Pitches would be counted as attending "in person" for quorum purposes and noted she was located in Fairfax City, Virginia; the chair also confirmed remote audio was audible.

The committee announced a motion to go into a closed meeting on March 5, 2026 to: 1) discuss and consider candidates for appointment as community members of the comprehensive Planning and Development Committee pursuant to Code of Virginia §2.2-3711(A)(1), and 2) consult with legal counsel regarding specific matters requiring legal advice under §2.2-3711(A)(7) and §2.2-3711(A)(8), specifically personnel matters. The transcript records a second and a unanimous vote in favor; the record does not identify the member who moved the motion, who seconded it by name, or individual roll-call votes.

The chair called for the vote and declared the motion "unanimous and the motion carries." The chair then adjourned the public meeting and announced the committee would enter closed session at 6:47 p.m. No further public actions or decisions were recorded in the transcript.

Next steps: the committee proceeded to closed session to consider the appointment candidates and to consult legal counsel. The public record provided in the transcript does not include any names of candidates, the mover or seconder of the motion, a roll-call vote, or any outcomes of the closed-session discussion.
