Board cites Virginia code in motion to enter closed session
Summary
A board member moved the meeting into closed session citing multiple provisions of the Code of Virginia that permit discussion of employee matters, student matters, real property, and consultation with legal counsel on probable litigation; members certified the closed session afterward.
During the agenda adoption, a board member moved that the board enter closed session and cited multiple Code of Virginia provisions as the legal basis. The motion referenced the provisions transcribed as 'section 2.2 dash 37 11 81', 'section 2.2 dash 37 11 a 2', 'section 2.2 dash 37 11 a 3', and additional subsections permitting discussion of employee issues, student matters, real property, and consultation with legal counsel on probable litigation.
The motion was seconded and the board approved the motion to go into closed session by voice. After the closed session the chair requested a certification of the closed session and board members answered in the affirmative. The superintendent then presented a recommendation that had been considered in closed session for further board action in open session.
The board did not present detailed notes of the closed session in the public record; the superintendent framed the personnel recommendation as having been developed during that closed meeting and asked the board to approve it as presented.
