Closed Session per MCL 15.268 Sections 8(k) and (h) Rick West Superintendent I move the Board of Education convene a closed session in accordance with MCL 15.268 Section 8(k) to consider security planning to address existing threats or prevent potential threats to the safety of students and staff, and Section 8(h) to consider material exempt from discussion or disclosure by state or federal statute. Two-thirds roll call vote required. Under Section 8(h) of the OMA, a closed session of the Board is permitted, upon rollcall vote of 2/3 of the serving members of the Board, “to consider material exempt from discussion or disclosure by state or federal statute.” The state statute involved here is FOIA, Section 13(1)(g) of which exempts from disclosure “Information or records subject to the attorney-client privilege.” Thus written opinions of legal counsel, which are subject to the attorney-client privilege, may be considered in a closed session.
