Summary
The Greater New Bedford Regional Vocational Technical School Committee voted to adjourn into an executive session to discuss strategy for collective bargaining with GNEU Unit D, citing Chapter 30, Section 21; the motion was approved on a roll-call vote.
The Greater New Bedford Regional Vocational Technical School Committee voted to adjourn into an executive session to discuss strategy for collective bargaining with GNEU Unit D, citing Chapter 30, Section 21 of state law. The committee’s chair announced the move, saying discussion in open session would be detrimental to the committee’s bargaining position.
The chair said, "Okay, we are now going to go executive session," and cited Chapter 30, Section 21 as the legal basis for closing the discussion. The chair added that members would return to open session after the confidential discussion.
A motion and a second were made to enter executive session and a roll-call vote followed. The transcript records affirmative responses during the roll call and concludes with the chair stating, "Okay. Motion has passed." The transcript does not identify who moved or seconded the motion. The initial roll call earlier in the meeting recorded Miss Benton Court, Mr. Kitchen, Mr. Olivea, Mrs. Ribero, Mr. Shay and Mr. Pmental as present.
The committee did not record any substantive bargaining details in the public transcript; no further public actions or follow-up steps were specified in the provided record. The meeting indicated members would return to open session after completing the executive-session discussion.
