Buckingham County School Board moves into closed session to discuss personnel appointments

The Buckingham County School Board voted on June 25, 2025, to go into a closed session to consider appointments and resignations of specific employees, the presiding officer said.

"I recommend going into closed session as allowed under item A 1 of section 2.2-3711 of the Code of Virginia for appointments and resignations of specific employees," the chair stated, and the motion was moved and seconded. The chair called for questions, asked members to raise their hands, and announced the vote was unanimous.

The board first completed roll call and confirmed a quorum before the motion. The transcript records only the motion, the second and the chair's announcement that the vote was unanimous; it does not name who made or seconded the motion, nor does it include any public discussion of the personnel matters themselves.

Under Virginia law, Code of Virginia §2.2-3711(A)(1) permits public bodies to hold closed sessions to consider personnel matters such as appointments and resignations of specific employees. The transcript indicates the board invoked that statute and recessed into closed session; no formal public personnel actions, appointments, or vote tallies were recorded in the provided transcript.

The meeting transcript ends with the board moving into closed session. The public record in this transcript does not include subsequent actions, outcomes of the closed-session discussion, or the names of employees affected.
