Chair announces Colton School Board executive session over student records complaint
Summary
The Chair of the Colton School Board of Directors said the board will meet in executive session under ORS 192.6602(b) and (f) to address a complaint involving confidential student records and that the regular meeting will resume at 6:00 p.m.
The Chair called the Colton School Board of Directors meeting to order and led the Pledge of Allegiance.
The Chair announced that the board would move into an executive session for a complaint involving confidential student records, citing Oregon statutes. "Colton School Board of Directors will meet an executive session under ORS 192.6602 b, dash hearing and complaints, or ORS 192.6602 f, exempt public records," the Chair said, adding, "We are going to go into an executive session and we will be back at 6pm to start our regular session." The announcement was procedural; no deliberations or votes on the subject were recorded in the public portion of the meeting.
Under Oregon law references invoked by the board, ORS 192.6602(b) permits executive sessions for hearings and complaints and ORS 192.6602(f) relates to exempt public records, which together allow the board to discuss confidential student information out of public view. The meeting notice in the public session identifies confidentiality of student records as the rationale for the closed session. The board said it would reconvene its regular meeting at 6 p.m.
