The board of trustees will move into executive session to review the performance of a public employee which is one of the eight reasons a school board may recess for executive session.

 

There are eight statutory reasons for an executive session that apply to a school board. One of the following must apply to the circumstances for a school board to exclude the public from its meeting: 

  • Matters affecting national security; 
  • The selection of a site or the acquisition of real estate if public knowledge of the matter might increase the price; 
  • The minimum selling price of real estate if public knowledge of the matter might depress the price, but final action selling or leasing real estate must be taken in a public meeting; 
  • Negotiations on the performance of a publicly bid contract if public knowledge might increase costs; 
  • Complaints or charges against an employee or board member, however the person complained against may open the meeting to the public; 
  • Qualifications of an applicant for public employment or review the performance of a public employee, but final actions must be taken in public and discussions affecting employees generally must be held in public; 
  • Qualifications of a candidate for appointment to elective office, but interviews and the final appointment must be held in public; and 
  • Discussion with legal counsel, of enforcement actions, litigation or potential litigation, if public discussion might result in an adverse legal or financial consequence. Amendments in 2001 provided a specific definition of potential litigation.
