Seaside School District board upholds superintendent’s findings in complaint appeal
Summary
In open session July 7, the Seaside School District 10 Board voted 7–0 to uphold the superintendent’s findings in a complaint appeal after holding a confidential executive session under ORS statutes. The board formalized the superintendent’s decision and set the matter aside.
The Seaside School District 10 Board voted unanimously July 7 to uphold the superintendent’s findings in a complaint appeal and set the matter aside.
During the meeting the board first met in executive session under ORS 192.660(2)(b) (to hear a complaint or charges against a public officer or employee) and ORS 332.061(1) (to review a student’s confidential medical records). After returning to open session, Sondra Gomez moved “I move to uphold the Superintendent's findings and decision as final and set the matter aside.” Coral Sadler seconded; the motion carried 7–0 (Katherine Davidson: Yea; Sondra Gomez: Yea; Jason Haag: Yea; Chuck Mattocks: Yea; Coral Sadler: Yea; Shannon Swedenborg: Yea; Brian Taylor: Yea).
ORS rules permit the board to meet in executive session for these purposes but prohibit reporting deliberations from the closed session; the board therefore announced the general subject of the executive session and then made its formal decision in open session. The board did not provide further details about the complaint or the substance of the executive-session discussion in the public record.
