TOG,
I'm sorry I missed your posts yesterday and the day before. They came at times when I wasn't on the forum. As I told you before, I'm not stalking you, the post came up at a time when I checked the board and because someone had answered your question.
Now that we have that out of the way, please answer some questions. When did this happen? Not that it really matters to much, more trying to understand why you insist on giving vague or circumspect facts while at the same time expecting specific advice which is not forthcoming.
You posted the same question on Tuesday so when did this occur Monday or Tuesday? It didn't happen Yesterday, Wednesday, or is it just a hypothetical question?
When you first asked your question about the aspects of privacy in employment, Beth, one of our HR specialists kindly and accurately answered your question, there was no reason for further responses. Instead of thanking her for taking the time to answer your question, you ignore her because it is not what you want to hear and you start another thread hoping that by doing so, someone ignorant of the facts of your case and ignorant of the law might answer your question and provide you with the advice you want to hear. These behaviors are first of all, disrespectful and secondly, manipulative. You know how this forum works, so I am interested in hearing your answer without you starting another thread or deleting this so there is no record of it as you have done with others.
Just in case you thought that Megan was going to tell you what you want to hear, forget that, she is no longer here, she was banned because of her inappropriate behaviors.

Many of you know my story so I don't want to bore you with details. I work in an independent school. My fitness to be a teacher has recently been called into question because I was assaulted in what, some consider to be, questionable circumstances. Today at a staff meeting, the president of the board of directors began to tell other members of the staff what occured at a closed session of the board when the subject of my continued employment was introduced. I protested and asked him not to share that information. He ignored my protestations and proceeded to tell my colleagues that there were a few members of the board that demanded that I be fired. (This, by the way, was the minority opinion). Legally speaking, is there anything wrong, with the prez of the board sharing this information from a closed meeting with my colleagues even after I asked him not to?

If you're asking whether there are any laws that require an employer to keep this information confidential, the answer is no. Whether the Board's bylaws require this information to be kept private is something I can't answer but it's very unlikely that they do.
Now for the answers to your question, again: The board of directors is your employer, they have a right to the information, since it affects your employment and further affects the health and safety of the children you teach. It is the fiduciary duty as a school to examine your fitness, once again, as a teacher. You were MIA again, without adequate excuse, this is not a private matter. You demonstrated poor judgment, repeatedly. You made a police report, why don't you want the school to investigate the facts if you are an innocent victim?
The president of the board did nothing wrong. They met in closed session as appropriate to discuss sensitive personnel issues, thus your privacy was honored. According to you, a few members (minority opinion) already wanted your termination(resignation). That is an accurate fact and not slander/defamation it is, by your own admission, fact.
What have you done since posting about these issues?
What was the outcome of this meeting by the board?
Have you contacted anyone about the victim witness program?
Have you sought a neuropsychological assessment of your head injury?
Have you begun a search for another teaching contract?
Have you contacted the Department of Rehabilitation?
If you find another teaching contract and resign, you won't have a blemish on your teaching career, however I highly doubt that something won't happen again in the future.
You are, self-centered, impolite, immature, lack appropriateness and repeatedly exercise poor judgment, these are not qualities for a teacher.
You also, don't seem to be open to advice.
