Duplin County Board holds executive session on personnel, student confidentiality and safety; votes to take personnel action

The Duplin County Board of Education moved into executive session at its April 1 meeting to discuss personnel matters, confidential student information and attorney‑client privileged matters and to formulate local plans related to emergency response and incidents of school violence.

"Item 7 is an executive session for general statutes for personnel, prevent disclosure of confidential student information, attorney client privilege, and to formulate plans by a local board of education relating to the emergency response and incidences of school violence," the presiding chair said while introducing the item.

A motion to enter executive session was made and seconded; the chair called a voice vote and announced the motion carried. The transcript records that the motion was moved by Mr. Jones and seconded by Mr. Keenan as reported by the chair.

After the board returned to open session, the chair asked whether any action would be taken regarding personnel discussed in executive session. The chair recorded a motion by Miss Edwards, seconded by Mr. Jones. The chair called for a voice vote and announced the motion carried; the transcript does not record individual roll‑call votes or a numeric tally.

The meeting record indicates no public disclosure of the personnel details discussed in executive session and provides no further description of the personnel action taken. The board later noted Dr. Bosheim remained absent and that there would be no superintendent's report that evening.

The board adjourned following routine closing motions.
