School board recesses into executive session to consider interim superintendent appointment

The Littleton Elementary District (4278) governing board voted to recess its public meeting into an executive session to consider the possible assignment or appointment of an interim superintendent.

A Committee member moved, “I move that we recess into executive session at 04:52,” and another member seconded the motion. Chair stated the voice vote: “All in favor?” followed by “Aye,” and, after asking “Any opposed?” said, “Hearing none, we'll recess into executive session.”

Before the vote, the Chair read a legal disclaimer: “The governing board may recess the regular meeting and retire into executive session pursuant to ASRS 38 44 31.03 a 1 for discussion or consideration of employment assignment, appointment, promotion, demotion, dismissal, salaries, disciplining, or resignation of a public officer, appointee, or employee of the public body for the purpose of possible assignment, appointment, and employment of an interim superintendent.” The board did not record any further public action in the provided transcript.

The executive-session citation appeared verbatim in the transcript. The transcript did not include a public vote roll call with named tallies or public discussion of candidates; the motion was approved by a voice vote with no opposition announced. The meeting then moved into the closed session; no subsequent public decisions or timetable for appointing an interim superintendent were recorded in the excerpt.
