Board recesses into executive session under ORS statutes; reconvenes and acts
Summary
The Gresham-Barlow School District board recessed into a closed session citing ORS 192.660(2)(f) and (2)(i); after reconvening the board passed an amended motion to uphold an investigation and delegate notification duties to the chair.
The Gresham-Barlow School District Board of Directors recessed into a closed executive session at 6:02 p.m. on March 5, 2026, citing ORS 192.660(2)(f) (information exempt from public inspection) and ORS 192.660(2)(i) (superintendent evaluation). The minutes state that executive sessions are closed to the public and that virtual attendees were excused and muted.
The minutes explicitly note that "No decision may be made in executive session." After reconvening at 6:48 p.m., the board moved and adopted an amended motion that upheld investigative findings and delegated the board chair to communicate the findings and legal-counsel information to involved parties. The record shows the board followed the practice of reconvening to take formal action. The minutes do not disclose the subject matter or substance of the investigation itself, only the procedural steps and statutory citations.
