Parents ask board to permit closed-session meeting; board to check with legal counsel
Summary
Parents requested that the full board meet in closed session to address concerns about events last fall; the board said it will check with legal counsel on whether such a closed session is permissible and will report back.
During the meeting’s open forum, the board discussed a request from parents to allow parents to meet with the full school board in a closed session to address concerns arising last fall.
Board members said they had to check with legal counsel to determine whether such a closed session would comply with open-meeting law and related statutes. No determination was made during the meeting; staff will consult the district’s legal counsel and follow up with the parents who requested the meeting.
Board members also discussed whether open forum comments should be shared with the full board at regular meetings or handled differently, and suggested scheduling a work session to review open-forum procedures.
