VIII.F. Semi-Annual Review of Executive Session Minutes
Description:
According to Board Policy 2:220, the Board must conduct a semi-annual review of Executive Session Minutes, and also review audio recordings of closed meetings to determine whether:
(1) there continues to be a need for confidentiality, or (2) the recordings no longer require confidential treatment and are available for public inspection. Additionally, after 18 months have passed since being made, the audio recording of a closed meeting is destroyed provided the Board approved its destruction. The Board’s past practice has been to appoint the Secretary to review these minutes in a meeting with the Superintendent and make a recommendation at the following Board meeting. Secretary of the Board of Education, Mrs. Peters, reviewed the minutes and recommends release of the Executive Session minutes from: January 13, 2021, February 10, 2021, March 10, 2021, April 14, 2021 and the destruction of the recordings from July 10, 2019, September 11, 2019, November 13, 2019, December 11, 2019, January 4, 2020, and January 8, 2020. |
