An unidentified member of the Fairfax County School Board Audit Committee read a certification required under Virginia’s open-meetings law and put it to a motion, the committee recorded in a brief procedural exchange.
The speaker stated that, “in order to comply with the section 2.23712 d of the code of Virginia, it's necessary for the committee to certify that since the Fairfax County School Board Audit Committee convened in a closed meeting on 11/17/2025, to the best of each member's knowledge, only public business matters lawfully exempted from the open meeting requirements, and only such public business matters as were identified in the motion, were heard, discussed, or considered by the committee during the closed meeting.” The committee member then asked for a motion.
Mr. McDaniel moved the certification and Mr. Moon seconded, according to the transcript. The record included the chair noting that Ms. St. John Cunning was participating online. The transcript does not include a roll-call or a numerical vote tally; the meeting proceeded to adjournment at 5:53 p.m. after the motion.
The committee also announced a next meeting line in the transcript: "Next meeting is 01/05/2025 at 4PM," followed immediately by the tokens "20 26," which render the intended calendar year unclear in this recording. The committee’s official minutes or staff should be consulted for the formal vote record and the confirmed next-meeting date.
The certification references the Virginia statute governing closed-meeting certifications (Code of Virginia §2.2-3712(D)). Committees typically make this procedural certification after a closed session to confirm that only lawfully exempted matters were discussed. The transcript supplied does not provide further substantive discussion or policy action.
The committee adjourned after the procedural business. The transcript does not record additional agenda items, debate, or formal vote tallies.
