Audit Committee certifies May 11 closed meeting complied with Virginia open-meetings law

The Fairfax County School Board Audit Committee certified on May 11, 2026, that its closed meeting complied with Virginia’s open-meetings law, the committee’s chair said, and the motion to certify passed unanimously.

The chair read the required statement under the Code of Virginia, saying the committee must confirm that "only public business matters lawfully exempted from open meeting requirements and only such public business matters as were identified in the motion convening the closed meeting were heard, discussed or considered by the committee during the closed meeting." The reading cited the statutory requirement for local bodies to make this certification after a closed session.

The chair announced that the motion to certify was moved by Mr. Moon and seconded by Ms. Saint John Cunning. After calling for the vote, the chair said, "That's unanimous including Mr. Dannon online." The chair then stated there was "no action taken to close" and adjourned the meeting at 5:13 p.m.

The certification is a routine procedural step required by the Code of Virginia when a public body has met in closed session; the committee did not record any additional motions or policy decisions in the transcript provided. Exact vote counts and any roll-call votes were not specified in the recording.
