Six years after FOIA’s rules got amended to require disclosure of subject and purpose for closed sessions, vague motions still recur. A general reference to a FOIA exemption is not enough. Challenged on that point, Orange County School Board Chairman Steve Funkhouser said, “If we (have done) something wrong, most of the school systems in the state are incorrectly applying the law.” But the School Boards Association got it right on page 10 of its FOIA handbook back in 1999, noting in a sample motion that it would be correct to say a board was convening in a closed meeting “to consider the grievance of a high school teacher,” as permitted by a specific code section the sample motion goes on to cite. The Orange School Board agreed privately to fire its superintendent, then ratified the action publicly – but in doing so, it merely assigned a numeric code to the issue. Those in attendance initially had no idea what the board decided.
