Below are some statements that you might consider for your school's Policy Manual. The board recognizes that periodically during its scheduled meetings it will encounter matters of a highly sensitive nature. This will include, but is not limited to, such things as personnel matters, student matters, parent matters, etc. At such times the board may call an executive session. When the executive session is for the purpose of evaluating the administrator, the administrator may be asked to not attend.
Any board member can call for an executive session.
No official business shall be transacted in the executive session. Rather, the time spent in executive session shall be used to discuss the sensitive matter at hand. When the board reconvenes following an executive session, the decision shall be made and stated officially so that the board secretary can record such decision in the official minutes.
