[edit] Bedford County School Board admits it fell short on FOIA

"A Feb. 26 vote to hire a new superintendent could have been handled more appropriately under the state’s public access laws, the Bedford County School Board acknowledged Thursday night.

The school board passed by unanimous vote a resolution stating the manner in which the board hired Doug Schuch “did not inform the public to the extent the Board aspires under Virginia’s Freedom of Information Act.”

Schuch’s hire was included in a personnel report, but school board members refused to release his name until a news conference the next day."
