The Board still won't even say his name in public when budgets come up. It's always "Previous Administrations" and so on. I get it that it's always been broken, but like, Goren wasn't using the P-Card to buy himself $250 dinners at Longhorn Steakhouses in Georgia after he quit.

Is there any law or policy that prohibits discussion of specific personnel in meetings like that? I wasn't sure when I heard them allude to discussing personnel in closed session.
It's the reverse of what you describe. They can talk about these things in public or they can talk about them in closed session. There's probably some need to discuss certain issues like litigation or personnel issues in closed session - and they are allowed to do so under the OMA. But there is nothing specifically preventing them from discussing this topic in public.

Previous superintendents brought their own lunches to work. Think about that. Sigh.
