The Virginia Beach School Board voted to recess into a closed session to consider personnel and legal matters.
Vice Chair Williams moved that the board recess into closed session citing exceptions to the Virginia Open Meetings Act covering interviews of prospective candidates for public employment, deliberations about personnel performance, the status of pending litigation and consultation with legal counsel; Dr. Green seconded the motion. The clerk announced the vote: "we have 11 ayes," and the motion passed.
The board specified the closed-session topics as interviews and considerations of prospective candidates for employment, evaluation or performance matters involving specific individuals, consultation with counsel on probable litigation and an employee grievance update. The board recessed under the cited statutory provisions; no further details were released in the public portion of the meeting.
