Board enters executive session to discuss personnel matters after appointments
Summary
Following approval of two principal appointments, the Griffin-Spalding County Board of Education voted 5–0 to enter executive session to discuss personnel matters, including appointments, evaluations and potential interviews for the superintendent position.
After approving principal appointments on March 31, 2026, the Griffin-Spalding County Board of Education voted unanimously to go into executive session to discuss personnel matters.
The Chair announced that the board would "go into executive session to discuss or deliberate upon the appointment, employment, compensation, hiring, disciplinary action, or dismissal, or periodic evaluation, or rating of a public officer or employee or to interview applicants for the position of superintendent." A Committee member asked whether the board could state a narrower reason for the public to avoid confusion; another staff member replied that the Chair’s full reading follows the affidavit required for executive sessions and that listing the broader personnel caption is the correct practice.
The board voted to enter executive session by voice vote recorded as 5–0. The Chair then declared the board in executive session; a board member addressed "Bill" with a 10-minute time allotment, indicating the private session had begun.
No substantive personnel deliberations from the executive session were recorded in the public transcript. The transcript indicates the board moved directly into the private session following the public votes.
