Clayton County school board approves two settlements discussed in executive session
Summary
After executive session the board voted to approve settlements in two personnel-related cases — the chair read motions for agreements in the cases of Karen Henry and Kevin Callas; the chair announced both motions passed with the members present.
The Clayton County Board of Education approved two settlement agreements the board said had been discussed in executive session.
Chair Benjamin Straker moved to approve the settlement in the case of Karen Henry and asked for a second; the chair announced the motion had been made, properly seconded by Mark Christmas, and "It's unanimous with the people that are here." The board then considered a settlement in the case of Kevin Callas; after a motion and a second the chair announced the vote and said the recommendation from executive session was completed.
The meeting record shows the chair bringing both settlement recommendations from executive session and reporting the board approved them by the votes of members present; the motions were presented in open session and the board chair administered the roll call voting language after each motion.
No financial details of the settlements were discussed on the public record during the open session; the board indicated the items had been resolved following the executive-session deliberations and announced formal approval to the public.
