Maplewood-Richmond Heights Board votes to enter executive session citing legal and personnel matters
Summary
At a special meeting on Jan. 12, 2026, the Maplewood-Richmond Heights Board of Education voted unanimously to enter executive session under Missouri statutes for legal and personnel matters and approved the meeting agenda before recessing to the closed session.
The Maplewood-Richmond Heights Board of Education called a special executive meeting to order at 6:32 p.m. on Jan. 12, 2026, and voted to move into executive session to discuss legal and personnel matters.
"I'd like to call this special executive meeting of the Board of Education on 01/12/2026," the chair said as the meeting opened. The chair then moved "to enter executive session in accordance with section 610.021, subsections 1 3 9 13, and section 610.022 of the revised statutes of Missouri" for legal and personnel matters; the motion was seconded and put to a roll call vote.
During the roll call, members identified in the transcript as Katie, Loretta, Julie, Josh, Trent and Jenny each answered "Yes," recording unanimous approval to enter the closed session. The board then approved the meeting agenda "as presented" before adjourning the public portion of the meeting and moving into executive session. "See you in a minute," the chair said as the board recessed.
The transcript records the statutory basis cited by the chair as sections 610.021 (subsections referenced in speech) and 610.022 of the Revised Statutes of Missouri; those provisions govern permitted reasons for closed meetings, including legal consultations and personnel matters. The board took no further public action in the transcripted portion; the meeting proceeded into the closed-session portion that is not recorded here.
