"We just decided that tonight we just wouldn't have open expression," Greear said.
Greear reportedly pushed back against criticism suggesting students' families are upset over what they believe is an issue with transparency regarding the investigation into Turner.
"Our main focus is the kids, we want to keep them as normal as possible," Greear said, according to WCYB. "We have resources, we have counseling services available in addition to what they ordinarily have at that particular site."
Public comment is set to be reinstated at the board’s meeting on Jan. 12, 2026, with parents telling WCYB they plan to speak directly to officials then.
The update comes as a Wise County judge ordered a seal on any court documents related to Turner’s case on Wednesday, WCYB locate Travis. Their homes and properties have been searched multiple times, with their consent," the family's attorney, Adrian Collins, said in a statement obtained by Fox News Digital.
Collins went on to confirm that Turner was last seen carrying a gun as he walked into the woods near his family’s home, something he had done "multiple times throughout the years."
Turner’s wife, Leslie Caudill Turner, became increasingly concerned about her husband’s whereabouts when she noticed he had left without his car, wallet, keys, glasses or contacts, cash and prescription medications. When he failed to return home, Caudill Turner filed a missing person report with the Virginia State Police (VSP).
The report sparked a massive manhunt for the coach, with authorities using drones, K-9 units and foot patrols in an effort to locate him.
The family’s attorney pointed out that criminal charges were not filed "until days after he failed to return home."
"He was not a fugitive nor wanted by law enforcement at the time he went missing. His wife was not helping him escape, she was asking for help to find him," Collins said.
The U.S. Marshals Service (USMS) announced it is offering a reward of up to $5,000 for any information leading to his arrest.
Turner was last seen wearing a gray sweatshirt and sweatpants, according to Virginia's missing person database.
