Executive Session - School and City - When are they appropriate?
Lets examine Saturday's School Board meeting. The announcement for the meeting states, " The Huber Heights City Schools Board of Education will hold a Special Session on Saturday, February 2, 2013 at 9:00 a.m. in the Central Office Board Room and will immediately convene in Executive Session for the discussion of personnel and negotiations. No action will be taken." I suspect the Board will talk about the upcoming negotiations with the Teacher's Union. It is perfectly reasonable for them to discuss in executive session what kind of approach they intend on take during the negotiations. However, if the topic is actually about these upcoming negotiations that kind of detail can and should be stated.
A more significant difference between what has occurred in the past versus what should happen concerns the actual negotiations. I am advocating that the school board does not go into executive session for these negotiations. In fact, the school board should make plans to broadcast the entire negotiations over the internet. This would help dispel a lot of the rumors and misinformation the public has that outside agencies use to disparage the School Board and the Unions.

I can check on www.buckeyeinstitute.org and see the past salaries…and teachers are doing well. My simple point is if my insurance goes up because of Obama care, teachers need to pay much more also.
