Board certifies closed session and approves personnel actions, releases several students from compulsory attendance
Loading...
Summary
Following a closed session held under Virginia Code §2.2-3711, the board certified the closed session, approved superintendent-recommended personnel actions, and approved releases for several named students from compulsory attendance; both motions were passed by voice vote.
After reconvening from a closed session convened to discuss personnel and individual student matters under Virginia law, the Frederick County School Board certified that only lawfully exempted topics were discussed and then took two formal motions arising from that closed session.
A board member moved to approve the personnel actions recommended by the superintendent; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote. A subsequent motion moved the board to approve the release of students identified in the closed session (referred to in the public record as students A–I) from compulsory attendance; that motion was seconded and likewise approved by voice vote.
The board explicitly cited Virginia Code §2.2-3711 as the authority for convening closed session. During the public certification, a member stated the board discussed only those matters allowed by the Freedom of Information Act exemption cited and that no other public business was discussed in closed session.
The motions were recorded as made and seconded on the public transcript and carried by voice; the transcript does not include individual roll-call votes naming board members for these actions. The board did not discuss details of the personnel actions or student records in open session beyond noting the motions and their outcomes.
