School board moves to go into closed session citing Virginia statute; vote not recorded in transcript
Summary
At a Buckingham County Public Schools budget work session, a committee member moved that the board enter a closed session under provisions of the Virginia Code covering personnel appointments/resignations and public-contract discussions; the motion was seconded, and a vote was called but the transcript does not record the result.
The chair called the February special budget work session of the Buckingham County Public Schools board to order and confirmed a full board was present.
During the session a committee member recommended the board go into closed session, citing statutory exemptions for personnel matters and public contracts. The member said the closed session was justified "as allowed under items a 1 and a 29 of section 2.2... 3711 of the Code of Virginia for appointments and resignation of specific employees and discussion of public contracts." The chair restated that a motion had been made by Mr. Sennady and seconded by Mr. Goodman to move into closed session under the statutes cited.
The chair then asked members to raise their hands if in favor. The provided transcript ends after the call for a show of hands and does not include a recorded vote tally or a formal announcement of the motion—ile outcome. No additional public discussion or details about items to be discussed in closed session appear in the supplied transcript.
The statutes cited are provisions of the Code of Virginia that allow certain school-board discussions to be held in closed session for personnel matters and contract negotiations; the transcript does not specify which particular employee appointments, resignations, or contracts were intended for the closed session.
The meeting record provided here ends with the motion and the call for votes; next procedural steps (whether the board entered closed session and any subsequent actions) are not recorded in the supplied segments.
