Board moves into executive session on personnel; returns and approves personnel agenda with recusal
Summary
Pursuant to a cited West Virginia code reference the board held an executive session to discuss personnel matters, returned to open session and approved the personnel agenda; Mr. Tucker recused himself from a vote on a listed employee.
The Harrison County Board of Education voted to enter executive session to discuss a personnel matter, citing "pursuant to 69842 of the West Virginia code" as the basis for the closed meeting. The motion to go into executive session was moved, seconded and approved by voice vote.
Board members left open session for the closed deliberation and later reconvened. After returning to open session the board noted a recusal: Mr. Tucker announced he would recuse himself from the vote on "Employee A" listed under section C, page three of the personnel agenda. Mr. Tucker said, "I'll recuse myself from that vote." The board then moved to approve the personnel agenda as presented; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote.
The transcript records the board’s procedural actions and the recusal on the public record; no further public details about the personnel matter, disciplinary actions or personnel decisions were discussed in open session following the executive session. The record indicates the board followed its stated statutory basis for closing the meeting to discuss personnel matters that could affect an individual's reputation.
