North Wasco County SD 21 board holds executive session on personnel and potential litigation
Summary
The North Wasco County School District 21 board recessed into executive session July 14 under ORS 192.660(2)(b) and (h) to discuss personnel discipline/complaints and consult with counsel on current or likely litigation; the session ran from 5:42 p.m. to 7:11 p.m.
The North Wasco County School District 21 board recessed the special meeting and called an executive session at 5:42 p.m. on July 14, citing ORS 192.660(2)(b) and ORS 192.660(2)(h) as the legal authority. The minutes state the session was held to "To consider the dismissal or disciplining of, or hear complaints or charges brought against, a public officer, employee, staff member or agent, unless he or she requests an open meeting" and "To consult with counsel concerning the legal rights and duties of a public body with regard to current litigation or litigation likely to be filed."
The executive session is recorded in the minutes as having been adjourned at 7:11 p.m. The minutes do not provide any public account of actions taken in closed session; they only list the statutory bases for closing the meeting and record the start and end times. Chair David Jones had called the meeting to order earlier at 5:36 p.m.; board members recorded as present included Dayna Wynn-Elledge, Jose Aparicio, Kevin Kramer, Betsy Hege, Katie Kelley, David Polehn (via Zoom) and Jason Corey, with Renate Clark listed as district staff present.
Because the minutes are unapproved and the executive session is by statute closed to the public, the record contains no further details about personnel or litigation matters discussed or any subsequent Board action taken in open session.
