Board moves into executive session to confer with attorney over pending or imminent litigation

The Garfield Heights City Schools Board of Education voted April 13 to go into executive session to confer with the district’s legal counsel about pending or imminent litigation.

The motion to enter executive session under division (G)(3) of section 121.22 of the Ohio Revised Code — which authorizes closed discussion with the public‑body attorney when litigation is pending or imminent — was moved by Ms. Cox and seconded by Mrs. Irvin‑Dozier. The motion passed on a roll‑call vote at 6:41 p.m.; board members recorded their votes and the board announced that no action would follow the executive session.

The board did not discuss the substance of the legal matter in open session and did not take any public action on it at the special meeting.
