or regulated individuals (which would include students), or the 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 by federal law, rules, or state statutes to be kept confidential; and 6) specialized details of security arrangements. 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. The department of education is required to calculate the percentage of each district’s operating budget both for classroom instructional and for non-instructional purposes and then rank the districts from highest to lowest. The department will categorize all districts by ADM into at least three but not more than five groups for the purpose of the tanking. The department shall also report the 20% of all districts with the lowest total operating expenditures per pupil and the 20% of all districts with the highest performance index scores. The board’s policy on suspensions and expulsions should include the date and manner by which the superintendent’s or designee’s expulsion order can be appealed to the board, but the date must be 14 days or longer (as determined by the policy). 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 In spite of language in ORC 3311.08, no new exempted village districts could be formed in Ohio after June 1, 1954.
