Board holds separate closed session with attorney on legal matters; minutes contain timing and attendance inconsistencies
Summary
The board recorded a motion to convene a closed session with the board’s attorney under MCL 15.268 to discuss privileged legal strategy and pending litigation; the minutes include conflicting start/end times and inconsistent attendance records.
The Westwood Heights Board of Education recorded a motion to convene a closed session with the board’s attorney pursuant to MCL Section 15.268 to discuss attorney-client privileged legal matters, including legal strategy and pending litigation. The motion was recorded as moved by Johnson and supported by Walker, with a roll-call vote recorded as Ayes: Bransford, Walker, Johnson, Roberts, Turner, Coburn; Absent: Fykes.
The minutes state the board convened in closed session at 6:15 p.m. and later include a reconvene motion with the final adjournment recorded at 7:55 p.m. The document contains multiple internal inconsistencies, including earlier entries that list Fykes as present and different adjournment times; these discrepancies are noted in the audit and prevent a single definitive chronology from the minutes alone.
