Dayton School Board holds executive session June 10 to address complaints, superintendent review and confidential records

The Dayton School Board moved into an executive session during its special meeting on June 10, 2025, "to hear complaints against a public officer, employee, staff member or individual agent," to review the superintendent's employment-related performance and to examine confidential documents, the meeting record shows. Board Chair Larry Ringnalda made the announcement at the start of the executive session.

Board Chair Larry Ringnalda told attendees, "The Dayton School Board will now meet in Executive Session pursuant to ORS 192.660(2)(b), ORS 192.660(2)0), and ORS 192.660(2)(f) which allows the Board to meet in executive session for the following purposes," and then read the three purposes listed in the record. The minutes specify the session purposes were to hear complaints, review the chief executive officer's performance and review confidential documents.

The written minutes note that "there was no board action as a result of the Executive Session." The record also shows the meeting reconvened into the regular session at 8:28 p.m.; elsewhere in the minutes the meeting is recorded as adjourned at 8:20 p.m., an internal timing inconsistency in the published record.

The board's announcement cites Oregon Revised Statutes (ORS) 192.660 provisions; the transcripted citation includes a typographic or transcription error in one instance ("ORS 192.660(2)0)"). The minutes do not list any motions, votes or follow-up assignments arising from the executive session. No public comment was recorded for agenda items at the meeting.
