The Davies Career and Technical High School ("School") violated the OMA when it convened into executive session pursuant to R.I. Gen. Laws § 42-46-5(a)(1), yet did not discuss any person's job performance, character, or physical or mental health. Rather, the School's discussion centered on the economic viability of a job position, which is not appropriate for executive session. See Hayes v. Bristol/Warren Regional Joint Finance Committee, OM 95-32. This Department directed the School to reconsider and re-vote on the matter discussed during its executive session meeting at a properly posted future meeting.
