Perry Local board votes to enter executive session to discuss property sale under Ohio Revised Code
Summary
The board moved into executive session to discuss a property sale and competitive bidding where public disclosure could give an unfair competitive advantage, citing Ohio Revised Code section 121.22(g)(2); roll call votes approved the move and the board said there would be no action afterward.
Chair moved that the board adjourn to executive session "for the purpose of the sale property of competitive bidding since disclosure at the time would give an unfair competitive or bargaining advantage" and specifically cited Ohio Revised Code section 121.22(g)(2).
The motion was seconded and the board took a roll-call vote. Members answering 'Yes' in the roll call included those listed in the transcript (for example, 'Missus Drysler,' 'Missus Foley,' 'Missus Gringer' and others), and the chair noted that there would be no action taken after the executive session.
Why it matters: The board is invoking a statutory exception to public meeting openness that applies when public disclosure could harm the district's bargaining or competitive position. The board's vote to enter executive session pauses public deliberation and is a legal procedural step permitted under Ohio law.
What happens next: The board moved into executive session for the stated purpose and indicated no action would follow immediately; any formal decisions or contracts that result from the executive session must be reported in accordance with Ohio open-meeting rules if and when the board takes public action.
