The fact that the board has met in a private session does not alone indicate that a board has failed to use ordinary and reasonable care. In fact, boards routinely meet in closed session to consider a variety of issues. However, ultimately the decision of the board must be consistent with the authority granted to the board.

A board would also have to consider the skill and experience of the contractor and the contractor's ability to complete the work within the time required.
