Trustee Nash moved that the Board go into Executive Session for the purpose of "an interview of a superintendent search finalist."
That's a good Motion, but it didn't agree with the written purpose that was stated in the Agenda for tonight's meeting, which was "Item 3.2 Personnel Matter Related to Superintendent Candidates".
The same problem will occur tomorrow night, when the board meets to interview the third finalist. The agenda for the June 22, 2023 Special Called Board Meeting has already been published, and it contains the same Item 3.2. And it's too late to amend the Agenda, because it has to be published 24 hours before the start of the meeting.
The Board now faces a dilemma. If a Board member makes a motion that follows the wording in the agenda, a FOIA violation will occur because the agenda wording is wrong. It's not specific, and it's not what the Board will be doing.
If a Board trustee makes a motion that is more correctly worded (and is different from the agenda), a violation occurs.
Doesn't the Board want to comply with South Carolina FOIA law? It's really not that hard.
