The Policy Board can go into executive session when it is legally appropriate. This typically means that certain discussions or matters require confidentiality due to legal, personnel, or sensitive issues that cannot be disclosed publicly without violating privacy or legal protections. Executive sessions are intended to protect the interests of individuals and the organization, ensuring that sensitive information is kept confidential while still allowing elected members to deliberate in a private setting on important topics.

While discussions may be sensitive and members may choose to enter an executive session, those instances must still be grounded in legal appropriateness. Simply choosing to discuss matters privately, or having sensitive topics alone, does not automatically qualify for an executive session without adherence to legal guidelines. Likewise, entering executive session solely in emergencies does not encompass the full range of situations where legal considerations dictate privacy. Thus, the focus lies on the legality of the actions taken in terms of confidentiality and public transparency.
