The State Board voted unanimously to adjourn into executive session to discuss personnel matters, citing the General Provisions Article of the Annotated Code of Maryland and the board's governance manual.
Unidentified Speaker read the statutory justification aloud, saying the board would meet "pursuant to Section three-three 0 5 b 1 of the General Provisions Article of the Annotated Code of Maryland" and noted the session was to "discuss the following personnel matters consistent with section 3 subsection f of the governance manual." The speaker said the board anticipated adjourning at about 07:00 and would adjourn directly from the executive session.
The floor was opened for a motion to move into executive session; "Doctor Getty" moved and "Miss McCuster" seconded the motion, as recorded in the public meeting transcript. The chair called for a voice vote: several participants responded "Aye," and the speaker stated, "Looks like it's unanimous." The transcript records no opposing votes or abstentions.
Earlier in the brief public portion, the speaker welcomed members of the public, indicated meetings are recorded and available via the board website's livestream, town hall streams and YouTube, and said meeting videos, the agenda and other materials are posted online. The public portion closed with the speaker thanking participants for dialing in and saying the board would see the public in a few weeks.
No additional discussion or public comment on the motion was recorded in the provided transcript. The meeting moved directly to executive session as announced.
