Is it a violation of the Open Meetings Act for a committee to enter into execu-tive session in order to keep drug rebate information confidential and still encourage open discussion among the committee members without public participation? Federal law requires that certain information received through specific channels be confidential.Section 25-41-7 sets out twelve (12) specific exemptions to the Open Meetings Act and mandates that executive sessions be limited to only those exceptions. The Open Meetings Act does not allow for executive session under the facts presented. To comply with federal confidentiality laws, we can only suggest that the commit-tee attempt to structure its discussions in public meetings in such a manner as to not disclose the specific information required to be kept confidential. (Attorney General’s Opinion to Dzielak, March 1, 2013) BCBK
If two bidders submit identical low bids on a construction project, and in the opinion of the school board both are equally qualified to do the construction work, can the board, in its discretion, request additional written sealed bids from the two low bidders to determine the successful bidder?No. The school district may not request additional sealed bids, even when the bids are identical and considered “equal” by the public entity. Pursuant to Section 31-7-13, if the school district determines, after careful scrutiny of the bids on both amount and quality, that there is still no “best bid,” it will be required to reject all bids and begin the process anew, until it can decide on a “lowest and best bidder.” (Attorney General’s Opinion to Price, March 22, 2013) DJED
Can a school district structure a principal’s salary so that they would receive greater pay than other principals in the district if their school has a higher number of students qualified for free and reduced lunch? Also, may a district provide additional pay to teachers who agree to stay for five consecutive years at a school that has a higher number of students qualified for free and reduced lunch?Under its ”home rule” authority, a school board may use National School Lunch Program data in setting salaries for principals and teachers as long as the school board complies with applicable federal laws and regulations.

MSBA Update • May / June 2013 • 5
Four Mississippi high schools have earned silver and six others have earned bronze medals in the U.S. News & World Report’s 2013 Best High Schools report released on April 22. Those earning silver medals and ranked as the top high schools in Mississippi (from the highest ranking)

The MSBA Prospective Superintendent Leadership Academy (PSLA) has successfully concluded its first year, with 22 ad-ministrators from 17 school districts completing PSLA require-ments. Each was awarded a Certificate of Completion during
the last class meeting on April 18. “This inaugural class is an impressive group of future leaders in our
state,” said Dr. Mike Waldrop, MSBA Executive Director. He added that “The next class has a high benchmark to strive for, but we know they will be up to the challenge.”
“We could not be more pleased with the educational excellence and professional qualities exhibited by the Academy members,” said Denotris Jackson, MSBA Director of Policy / Advocacy and PSLA Advisor. “We are grateful for what they, along with the faculty, contributed to each class session,” she added.

SUPERINTENDENTMississippi Ethics Commission Advisory Opinion No. 13-024-E, rendered March 8, 2013, addresses whether a school board member is violating ethics law if he / she has an interest in a sixteenth section lease where: • the original 99-year lease was entered between 1940 and 1960• the original lease was authorized before the school board mem-
ber began service on the board, and • the school board will not be required to take any action con-
cerning the lease during the board member’s term or for one year after the board member’s term
ETHICS OPINION: If the school board will not be required to take any action that would have the effect of authorizing the school board member’s interest in the lease, no violation of Section 109, Miss. Const. of 1890, or Section 25-4-105(2), Miss. Code of 1972, should occur. Additionally, the school board member or a school district employee must recuse himself or herself from any matter coming before the school district con-cerning his or her own lease. Because neither the school board member nor the school district employee is serving as a contrac-tor to the school district, no violation of Section 25-4-105(3)(a) should occur. - Mississippi Ethics Commission Advisory Opinion No. 13-024-E, March 8, 2013
