Patrick County School Board certifies closed meeting, approves personnel report and adjourns

The Patrick County School Board voted to certify that a recently held closed session was conducted in accordance with Virginia law, approved an amended personnel report and then adjourned during the same meeting.

The Chair read a resolution stating that, to the best of each member's knowledge, only public business matters lawfully exempted from open meetings were discussed and that only the matters identified in the motion convening the closed meeting were considered. The Chair then called roll for the certification; Mister Scott, Miss Harrell, Mister Martin and Mister Woods each answered "Yes," and the Chair recorded their own vote as "aye."

The Chair then entertained a motion to approve the personnel report as amended. A motion and a second were made (the transcript does not specify who moved or seconded). After asking for discussion and receiving none, the Chair called for the ayes; voice responses were recorded and the Chair stated that the motion passed.

With no further business, the Chair called for a motion to adjourn. A motion and a second were again made (mover and seconder not specified). Following a voice vote, the Chair declared the meeting adjourned.

The meeting record cites compliance with Virginia law for the closed session; no statute or code section was specified in the transcript. Individual roll-call confirmations on the certification named Mister Scott, Miss Harrell, Mister Martin and Mister Woods; the transcript records voice responses to the personnel and adjournment motions but does not attribute those votes to named individuals beyond the Chair's announcement that the motions passed.
