My understanding is that the state board meetings are public in general. But, the exam results are not public. Even though the board can put PE results discussion in their monthly or bimonthly meeting in the agenda, they cannot discuss the results in public. So, the PE results will have to be in a private meeting. Then they can tell the board meeting participants that the board approved the PE results with such as such criteria without disclosing individual results. So, there may or may not be a board meeting for the approval process. But, there should a approval meeting or discussions, which can be a physical, virtual or electronic communication. That's my two cents.
