EXECUTIVE SESSIONS

Discussion

Executive sessions provide an opportunity for the board to meet in “private,” as is sometime necessary to discuss personnel issues, alleged misconduct, financial issues with the auditor, security issues, or other matters that are confidential. Executive sessions are restricted to board members only and should only cover the items for which the executive session is held. When the issues has been discussed and resolved, then the board should return to the normal meeting. The action decided by the board should be reported in the minutes, but may want to be phrased in a way that is sensitive to the fact that the minutes are a public document.
