Board approves consent and personnel actions, moves to closed session for personnel
Summary
The school board unanimously approved the consent agenda and personnel actions (each vote recorded 7-0) and later moved into a closed session to discuss a specific personnel matter under Virginia law.
The Augusta County School Board approved routine business and personnel items during its December meeting.
After taking roll and leading the Pledge, the board approved the consent agenda on a motion that was moved, seconded and carried "7-0," according to the public record. Later in the meeting, a motion to approve personnel actions as presented was moved and seconded and the board again approved those items with a 7-0 tally.
Near the meeting's end, a board member moved "pursuant to section 2.2‑3711 of the Code of Virginia" that the board convene a closed meeting to discuss a specific personnel matter. The motion was seconded, and the chair called for the ayes. The transcript records the affirmative votes and the board's announcement that it would enter closed session.
The public minutes and transcript show the votes were taken in public session with the tallies reported, but the record does not disclose the content of the items discussed in closed session because personnel matters were cited as the legal basis for confidentiality.
