There are eleven statutory reasons for an executive session; three do not apply to school boards. Of the eight remaining, 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

 

  
  A. Executive Session 1 Discuss Beverley Wolff 25 m
   

To convene an executive session, the governing body’s presiding officer must announce: 

(1) the purpose of the executive session, and
