investigation of charges or complaints against a public employee or
regulated individual unless such person requests a public hearing; 2)
consideration of the purchase or sale of property; 3) conferences with
an attorney involving pending or imminent court action; 4) preparation
for or reviewing negotiations with public employees; 5) matters required

Prior to entering executive session, the board must adopt a resolution
stating that it is going into executive session and specifying which of the
above reasons on which it is relying to authorize executive session.
The motion must be specific and approved by a roll call vote.
It would appear that Ohio’s Ethics Law would make it improper for a
board member to reveal information which has been designated as
confidential and revealed in executive session when preserving that
confidentiality is necessary for the proper conduct of the board’s
business.
A 1997 Ohio Supreme Court decision ruled that, while deliberations with
legal counsel regarding a proposed settlement in a court case were
appropriate for executive session, the actual settlement was public
information after it was approved.

EXPULSION
COLLEGE CREDIT
PLUS
A superintendent must send a notice to any college attended by an
expelled student under post-secondary open enrollment. The notice
shall advise whether the board has adopted a policy to deny high
school credit for the college courses taken during the expulsion. Even if
the school district will not grant high school credit for the college
courses, the college may or may not revoke the current participation of
the expelled student if the student is paying for the course. If the
expelled student has been participating for college credit only, the
student may be permitted to continue. However, the expelled student
cannot enroll in the college for subsequent courses during the period of
expulsion.
If the expelled student has been participating for high school and
college credit and the college is scheduled to receive payments under
the College Credit Plus program, the tuition reimbursement ends on the
day that the expulsion takes effect. If the college elects not to revoke the
student’s enrollment, the student must pay all applicable tuition and
