New York State PUBLIC OFFICERS LAW, ARTICLE 7, 'OPEN MEETINGS LAW', requires that public bodies in NYS comply with the following terms of convening an executive session. Historically, the Hamburg Central School District Boars of Education have demonstrated little, if any, concern for the law. And, in many instances, have thumbed their collective noses at NYS and US laws. In 2011, the School Board was taken to court for violating Open Meeting Laws, and the Petitioner in the matter was successful in demonstrating to the Court that the Boars violated Open Meetings Laws. And, here they go again. Is President Thomas Flynn the Turd as dim as he appears?
The enumerated purposes for convening a secret session, where the Hamburg boars engage in scheming, name-calling and conspiring to break the laws are as follows: *
§105. Conduct of executive sessions.
1. Upon a majority vote of its total membership, taken in an open meeting pursuant to a motion identifying the general area or areas of the subject or subjects to be considered, a public body may conduct an executive session for the below enumerated purposes only, provided, however, that no action by formal vote shall be taken to appropriate public moneys:
a. matters which will imperil the public safety if disclosed;
b. any matter which may disclose the identity of a law enforcement agent or informer;
c. information relating to current or future investigation or prosecution of a criminal offense which would imperil effective law enforcement if disclosed;
d. discussions regarding proposed, pending or current litigation;
e. collective negotiations pursuant to article fourteen of the civil service law;
f. the medical, financial, credit or employment history of a particular person or corporation, or matters leading to the appointment, employment, promotion, demotion, discipline, suspension, dismissal or removal of a particular person or corporation;
g. the preparation, grading or administration of examinations; and
h. the proposed acquisition, sale or lease of real property or the proposed acquisition of securities, or sale or exchange of securities held by such public body, but only when publicity would substantially affect the value thereof.
2. Attendance at an executive session shall be permitted to any member of the public body and any other persons authorized by the public body.

Please note the following portion of the published agenda in red. Where is Mr. Daniel Chiacchia- self-proclaimed advocate of all that is right and just in Hamburg- according to his document creation schemes ? Where is the Freedom of Information Maven, and Strip Club Madam Christina Whipper- Shnapper? Surely the community must be outraged by the run away Boars?

* Thomas Flynn the Turd is widely known as violating the law by blatantly ignoring labor, human rights and education law. But, the Turd, and the classless members of the Hamburg Boars take little concern about the law, because they can send the taxpayer dollars off to the billable hours scavenger Andew Freedman of Hodgson Russ and hide behind his trousers. Sadly, the Boars haven't recognized that Mr. Freedman has not, as demonstrated in the Buffalo Evening News, provided sound legal advice.
C'mon Fellas- Man- Up and follow the Laws.
