                        Cicosta says that because the two resigning members took it upon themselves to talk about the closed session and made allegations that are "unsupported", the   #NCSBE will be releasing memos prepared for and distributed at the closed session as well as minutes. 3/
                        
                        
                        
                        
                                                
                    
                    
                                    
                    
                        
                        
                        Cicosta said that the   #NCSBE had robust discussions about the lawsuit and proposed settlements of the case, with ample opportunity for each Board member to ask questions and have questions answered. 4/
