Board moves principal candidate discussion into executive session and extends closed deliberations

During the June 25 meeting the board debated whether to pull Consent Agenda item C2 (Josh Stoney—Principal) into executive session for review of an applicant's qualifications or performance. An initial motion to approve the agenda while pulling C2 to executive action failed on a roll call. Later, Alexander Ushman moved to discuss C2 in Executive Session under the stated exception for reviewing applicant qualifications; that motion was seconded by Jake Goldy.

The board entered Executive Session at 7:37 p.m. under the stated exception for "reviewing the qualification of an applicant for public employment and/or reviewing performance of a public employee." The session was initially scheduled for 20 minutes, was extended twice (at 7:57 p.m. and 8:17 p.m.), and the board returned to open session at 8:30 p.m. The board then entered a Closed Session at 8:30 p.m. to discuss labor negotiations and returned at 8:35 p.m.

Because the topic concerned a personnel applicant and was discussed in executive and closed sessions, the transcript does not disclose the content of those deliberations; the board followed the procedural steps to move the item into closed consideration and recorded multiple extensions of the session.
