Chair moves Washtucna School District board into three-hour executive session for candidate interviews
Summary
The Washtucna School District board voted to enter an executive session for candidate interviews, citing state law and scheduling the session for three hours; the board then voted to adjourn, and the transcript records no other public agenda discussion.
The Washtucna School District board voted to enter an executive session for candidate interviews that the chair said would last three hours, according to the meeting transcript. “I know we're going to executive session, RCW 42 31 10, 1 g for 3 hours for candidate, interviews,” the chair said at the opening of the meeting.
The chair then put a motion to enter the executive session on the record; another participant seconded the motion and the voice vote passed. The transcript records a subsequent motion to adjourn—“I move we adjourn.”—which was seconded and followed by two recorded “Aye” responses. The meeting then ended with the statement, “Meeting adjourns.”
The board cited a Revised Code of Washington statute (transcript citation: “RCW 42 31 10”) as the legal basis for closing the session to the public for candidate interviews. The transcript does not include further detail about which position(s) are the subject of the interviews, who moved or seconded each motion by name, nor a public time for resuming open session. No additional agenda items or public comments appear in the provided transcript.
Next steps: the transcript ends with the adjournment; no public date, time, or agenda for any resumed open meeting was recorded in the available excerpt.
