[edit] Closed session of Des Moines school board troubles critics
"A Des Moines school board decision to conduct a closed-door meeting without public notice or a written record of what was discussed has drawn criticism from advocates for open government.
Last month's "exempt session" centered on Superintendent Nancy Sebring's contract. Iowa law allows board members to meet privately to "discuss strategy in matters relating to employment conditions," but critics say such secrecy only breeds taxpayer mistrust."
