The State Board of Education moved into an executive session to conduct superintendent candidate interviews after a motion citing Ohio law.

Member Maguire moved that "the State Board of Education go into executive session pursuant to Ohio Revised Code section 121.22(g)(1) to consider the appointment, employment, dismissal, discipline, promotion, demotion, or compensation of a public employee or official," and also cited 121.22(g)(3) "for the purpose of conferring with legal counsel about matters that are the subject of pending or imminent court action."
