Board chair calls special Fayette County Board of Education meeting on superintendent resignation; board votes to enter closed session
Summary
At a June 10 special meeting, the Fayette County Board of Education voted 5-0 to enter a closed session to discuss a resignation notice from the superintendent and interim district leadership; the board suspended public comment for the closed discussion.
The Fayette County Board of Education convened a special meeting Wednesday evening after the chair called the session to address a resignation notice from the district superintendent and to discuss interim district leadership. “I will now call this special meeting of the Fayette County Board of Education to order pursuant to KRS chapter 61,” the chair said as the meeting began.
The chair designated Room 150 at the John D. Price Administration Building as the primary public location for the June 10 meeting and noted that some members might appear via videoconference. Miss Jackson took roll; the board recorded Amanda Ferguson, Amy Green, Tyler Murphy, Penny Christian and Monica Mundy as present.
During the meeting the chair asked the board to enter a closed session “to discuss resignation notice pursuant to KRS 61.810(1)(f).” Board member Monica Mundy moved to enter closed session; Amy Green seconded the motion. The chair called for a voice vote; members responded "Aye," and the chair announced the motion carried 5-0. The board stated it was entering closed session at 7:32 p.m.
The chair clarified that there would be no public comment at this time and said the board attorney was present and that processes exist for raising objections, which the board would follow if necessary. The chair also said the board planned to return from closed session to open session and “take any action pursuant to discussions in closed session should that be necessary.”
No substantive details of the superintendent's resignation, potential candidates for interim leadership, or any personnel decisions were made public during the portion of the meeting in the transcript. The board did not record any formal votes on personnel action in open session during the transcripted portion.
The special meeting record shows a formal motion and unanimous vote to enter closed session; any subsequent decisions or actions will depend on discussions held in that closed session and, if required, future open-session action.
