The San Francisco Chronicle:

The California Board of Education will meet in secret next week to decide if it may meet in secret. No one is saying what the meeting is about. That, according to a school-board spokesman, is a secret. Secret meetings by public agencies are common. Secret meetings about secret meetings, although legal, are less common. Public announcements about secret meetings about secret meetings are required by law. It's all explained in Government Code section 11126(q)(2)(a).... "The California State Board of Education reserves the right to meet in closed session pursuant to Government Code Section 11126(q)(2)(a) to determine whether facts and circumstances authorize it to meet in closed session pursuant to Government Code Section 11126(q)(2)(a)," said the announcement.
