King George school board certifies closed‑session briefings and approves actions

The King George County School Board returned to open session after a closed meeting and voted to certify that only those matters exempted by law were discussed. A motion to certify ‘‘that only public business matters lawfully exempted from open meeting requirements under this chapter and only such public business matters as are identified in the motion by which the closed meeting was convened’’ was seconded and approved by voice vote.

Committee member (speaker 2) had moved that the board convene in closed session for briefings by staff members pertaining to actual or probable litigation, citing state code language read aloud during the motion. After returning to public session, the board moved to approve the specific actions discussed in closed session; the chair called for a voice vote and members responded ‘‘Aye.’’
