BOE Holding Special 3 Hour Closed Session to Hire/Fire/Promote/Demote

The Montgomery County Board of Education will be meeting on Friday, January 23, 2015, for three hours to discuss someone's employment contract. 

Who will the Board of Eduction be discussing for three hours and why is it a secret meeting?

Remember a Closed Meeting is a choice! The Board of Education is not required by law to hold Closed Meetings. Maryland law allows boards to hold a Closed Meeting if the members of the board vote to hold such a session.  If the Montgomery County Board of Education wanted to hold this discussion in an Open Meeting, they could.

The Board of Education will have to meet in an Open session first on Friday and vote to go into a Closed session. Will the vote to go into a Closed session be unanimous?
