Canaan BOE holds executive sessions on personnel and superintendent evaluation; minutes note recording paused
Summary
The board held two executive sessions on personnel matters including a discussion with Superintendent Melony Brady-Shanley and later a closed-session completion of the superintendent’s evaluation; the minutes record that the virtual meeting was locked and recordings were stopped for those sessions.
The Canaan Board of Education moved an early personnel executive session to the start of its June 15 special meeting. That session included Superintendent Melony Brady-Shanley and Principal Andrew Deacon; the virtual meeting was locked and Executive Secretary Laurie Wadsworth left the room and the session was not recorded. The first executive session ended at 5:19 p.m., and the meeting recording resumed.
Later in the meeting the board voted to enter a second executive session to finish the superintendent's evaluation with BOE members only. Member Maria Bulson moved that session, Treasurer Emily Peterson seconded and the motion passed unanimously. The minutes record that the recording was stopped for the evaluation session; Principal Andrew Deacon and Executive Secretary Laurie Wadsworth departed the meeting space during the closed session, which concluded at 6:33 p.m.
The board’s minutes do not provide details of the personnel discussions or the superintendent evaluation conducted in executive session. The minutes record the board’s use of executive session procedures and the times the sessions began and ended.
