0167.2 - EXECUTIVE SESSION

The Governing Board, as well as its designees, committees, and sub-committees, may hold an executive session only after a majority of a quorum of the Governing Board (or its designees, committees, or sub-committees as applicable) determines, by a roll call vote, to hold an executive session and only at a regular or special meeting for the sole purpose of the consideration of any of the matters set forth in R.C. 121.22(G).

The motion and vote to hold that executive session shall state, with specificity, which one or more of the approved matters listed in R.C. 121.22(G) are to be considered at the executive session but shall not list any matter in which the Governing Board (or its designees, committees, or sub-committees as applicable) has no intention of considering.

Upon receiving a second to the motion and a majority roll-call vote of those present and voting, the chairperson shall declare the Governing Board as having recessed out of open session and into executive session.

No official action may be taken in executive session.

The chairperson of the Governing Board (or its designees, committees, or sub-committees as applicable) ends its executive session and re-enters open session upon a simple declaration by the chairperson (i.e., no action is taken to end an executive session).

The Superintendent shall be responsible for advising the Governing Board as to the proper executive session procedures for all executive sessions upon the consultation of legal counsel as needed.
