TIME TOPIC

Special Board Meeting

Comment Regarding Short Notice Posted on December 5th

:

An unexpected third-party public announcement was made on December 3rd

regarding complaints against Red Clay Consolidated School District (RCCSD).

These complaints could involve potential litigation affecting CSW. The next regular

meeting of the CSW Board is not until January 2015. The CSW Board leadership

feels it is essential and urgent to meet prior to the December 2014 meeting of the

RCCSD board, and December 8th

is the only workable meeting date for the CSW

Board members.

The CSW Board will meet in Executive Session with legal counsel.

No public session is planned for December 8th

, other than to convene and enter

Executive Session. If any immediate decisions are to be taken as a result of

Executive Session discussion, they will be conducted in a Public Session by a

quorum of the Board promptly following the Executive Session.
