Garfield Heights City Schools board enters executive session to discuss employment matter

The Garfield Heights City Schools board convened a special meeting Monday, adopted the meeting agenda and voted unanimously to enter an executive session to discuss the employment of a public employee, the chair said.

The chair called for a motion to adopt the agenda; the chair recorded that Miss Cox moved the agenda and that Missus Irvin Dozier seconded. During the roll call on the motion, Miss Cox, Missus Irvin Dozier, Miss Morrison and Miss Thomas each responded, "Yes," and the agenda was adopted.

Later the chair presented a motion "to enter into executive session to discuss the employment of a public employee." The chair noted the motion was moved by Miss Morrison and seconded by Miss Cox. The clerk conducted a roll call on that motion; Miss Morrison, Miss Cox, Missus Irvin Dozier and Miss Thomas each voted "Yes," and the board agreed to meet in executive session.

The chair announced, "We will enter into executive session at 06:01." The board entered the closed session at the time announced. After returning, the chair said, "I'm back," and stated that "there will be no action taken once we adjourn from a 6 to 6 session," indicating no formal action would follow this executive session.

The special meeting record shows two formal actions: adoption of the meeting agenda and approval to enter an executive session to discuss personnel. The transcript does not record any further motions, specifics about the employee matter discussed in executive session, or any votes taken on personnel during the public portion of the meeting.

Minutes or further public disclosures required by state law regarding actions taken in executive session, if any, were not recorded in the public transcript.
