Closed Session may have been recorded, but typically personnel issues

are exempt from FOIA.

Minutes of closed sessions can be taken, but it is not a requirement. In Virginia, the only requirement is for the public body to vote to enter closed session with a citation of the Code of Virginia section allowing such, exit closed session and record a vote confirming that only those items specifically referenced in the motion to enter closed session were discussed. Finally, if they were to take action, they would need to do so once back in open session.

Anyone have an idea why the Montgomery County VA school board -- HokieSignGuy 03/19/2022 2:56PM

Not during a closed-door meeting. They don't share personnel -> -- HOKIERIT 03/19/2022 10:17PM

Crazy times. He won the VA Region 6 Superintendent of the Year in February -- RUHokie 03/19/2022 4:53PM

That's an award given by superintendents to other superintendents -- Hokie Fiji 03/19/2022 5:56PM

Correct, but interesting that they JUST extended him. Something happened! ** -- HOKIERIT 03/19/2022 10:18PM

Wasn't that done by the previous board? -- Hokie Fiji 03/20/2022 08:38AM

I don't know the specifics either. I know how Boards work-> -- HOKIERIT 03/20/2022 09:27AM

Agree with you about elected school boards -- Hokie Fiji 03/20/2022 3:38PM

I know nothing. I find it odd as well. I'm sure someone knows and will -- HokieGator 03/19/2022 4:25PM

Maybe some information came to light about... -- MP4VT2004 03/19/2022 4:56PM

I’m gonna guess either masks, book banning, or critical -- Stork 03/19/2022 5:29PM

Nope....all 3 of those are wholeheartedly supported by half this board... -- JoesterVT 03/19/2022 5:59PM

Guess he was involved in some “special ed”. ** -- Stork 03/19/2022 6:04PM

Late night putting? ** -- EDGEMAN 03/19/2022 7:47PM

In VA, superintendents serve at the pleasure of the board... -- JoesterVT 03/19/2022 4:09PM

A superintendent gets $200,000 per year? And they’d have to pay -- HokieSignGuy 03/19/2022 10:54PM

Happens a lot more than you would ever imagine. It is almost common-> -- HOKIERIT 03/20/2022 09:33AM

Not just the teachers have a right to be upset. That’s taxpayers money. ** -- Hoakie82 03/19/2022 5:48PM

Unlikely it is without cause , dang auto bs** -- astrohokie 03/19/2022 4:52PM

"Without cause" probably means something outside of his contract -- Hokie Fiji 03/19/2022 6:01PM

This is most likely reason .. This way, he isn't obligated to explain -> -- HOKIERIT 03/19/2022 10:22PM

Doesn't sound like it. And we aren't talking about a disagreement.... -- EDGEMAN 03/19/2022 4:55PM

Far more likely that it's not something serious -- Hokie Fiji 03/19/2022 6:06PM

Oh man, that would make me mad if the reason they terminated -- HokieSignGuy 03/19/2022 10:51PM

Happens more often in local govt than people would like to know -- Hokie Fiji 03/20/2022 08:43AM
