FAYETTEVILLE -- The Fayetteville School Board voted to "further consider" a personnel matter that it discussed during an executive session Wednesday evening.
The School Board did not identify the employee who was the subject of the discussion.
The board called to order a special meeting at 5 p.m. and went into executive session for about two hours.
Superintendent Matthew Wendt, who is on paid administrative leave, was asked to join the board during the executive session. He was with the board for about an hour.
When the board reconvened in public, Traci Farrah, vice president of the board, consulted with Susan Keller Kendall, the board's lawyer, before asking the board to vote.
Kendall released this statement right after the meeting:
"The board has deemed it appropriate to proceed with further consideration of a personnel action. The Board will not make any personnel decisions without ensuring that constitutional due process is afforded to its employees. The Board has been diligent in its efforts to bring a fair and swift resolution while respecting the rights -- constitutional, privacy, or otherwise -- of all parties involved."
