Utah State Board of Education votes to enter executive session on personnel, potential litigation
Summary
The Utah State Board of Education voted to go into an executive session to discuss 'a person's character, competence, or health' and 'pending or imminent litigation.' The public transcript records the motion, a roll-call vote in favor, and a brief recess to set up the closed session.
The Utah State Board of Education voted to enter an executive session to discuss personnel matters and possible litigation after the board’s chair moved that the meeting be closed to the public.
The chair said the session would cover "a person's character, competence, or health, pending or imminent litigation." The publicly available transcript does not include the meeting start time or the substance of any discussion that occurred in the closed session.
The chair recorded that the motion was moved and seconded and conducted a roll-call vote. The transcript records explicit 'Yes' votes from Member Boggess, Member Bollinger, Member Brenton, Member Earl, Member Green, Member Kelly, Member Carey, Member Longacre, Member Lear (Carol), Member Reel, Member Wood and the chair. The transcript shows Member Booth was not online at the time ("We'll come back to member Booth, if he's online") and indicates uncertainty about Member Davis's presence ("Member Davis? Is she with us? Okay.").
Before adjourning to the closed session, the chair said, "So we are moving whether our online people want it or not." The board recessed to allow a brief setup for the executive session; the public transcript contains no further details about the matters discussed behind closed doors.
