WATCH (LEVEL 4)
Requires Verification

Board May Hold ‘Team Building’ in Closed Session
📅 October 14, 2026
The board may enter a closed session for ‘Team Building Training,’ citing a statute related to personnel deliberations. This raises a potential transparency concern, as team building is not typically a topic that meets the criteria for a closed personnel discussion under open meetings laws.
Policy Use

WATCH: Monitor the minutes of the October 14 meeting to see if the board actually entered a closed session for item 3.A, ‘Team Building Training,’ and if any justification beyond the generic statute was provided. This could be a minor but notable instance of executive session overreach.
