Thank you all for your responses. You have been extremely helpful.

Sorry, I think you already answered this after I read your response again. An executive committee meeting is indeed an executive session and confidential.

Thank you @Richard Brown and @GaryNovosielski for your responses, which have been extremely helpful. One more question if you're still following... If the executive committee <sigh> holds a meeting, is it necessary to note prior that it will be an "executive session" or "secret session," or is it safe to say that EVERY executive committee meeting is indeed an executive session and confidential -- meaning notes only need to be shared with other executive committee members?

How many people start with "I'm new to this"? I'm on the board at a small nonprofit special needs school. I just took on the role of secretary. As a member of the executive committee, am I required to take meeting minutes during an executive session and submit them for the record to maintain our nonprofit status? Does every subcommittee need to submit meeting minutes? This was not a meeting of the full board. Why I ask, I'm being pressed to submit minutes for this executive subcommittee meeting by the head of school whose review and pay raise were part of the discussion.
