Malcolm Public Schools board holds executive session on potential real-estate purchase

During the Aug. 26 work session the board approved a motion to enter executive session "for the protection of public interest for strategy session with respect to real estate purchase." Amy Spellman moved the motion, Lucas Mitchell seconded, and the roll-call vote was recorded as AYES – William England, Lucas Mitchell, Tony Nutter, Amy Spellman, Ed Swotek; Nays – none; Tera Heidtbrink absent. The board entered executive session at 7:22 PM.

The minutes record a subsequent motion by Amy Spellman, seconded by Ed Swotek, to exit executive session; the roll-call again recorded AYES – Mitchell, Nutter, Spellman, Swotek, England and the board exited executive session at 7:47 PM. The minutes provide the stated reason for the executive session (strategy on a real-estate purchase) but do not disclose discussion details, consistent with the closed-session designation in the minutes.

The minutes also note that the Open Meetings Act is posted on the north wall of the meeting room.
