Board moves into closed session, citing Minnesota statute to review graduation-ceremony security
Summary
The ISD 191 Board voted unanimously to close the meeting under Minnesota Statute 13D.05, subdivision 3, to review graduation ceremony security and to hold a subsequent closed session on negotiations; the board said it will meet in the HR Conference Room and will vote in open session before proceeding to the second closed session.
The ISD 191 Board of Education voted Aug. 28, 2025, to close the public meeting for a closed-session discussion of graduation-ceremony security as permitted by Minnesota Statute 13D.05, subdivision 3. The motion to close was moved by Director Ault, seconded by Director Hume, and carried unanimously on a voice vote.
Chair Werb explained the board would hold two closed sessions in the HR Conference Room and that the board would return briefly to an open meeting to vote on closing for the second closed session on negotiations. The board told members of the public that if they wished to attend the closed sessions they could find the board in the HR Conference Room and that the doors would be opened when the board returned between sessions.
The motion referenced Minnesota statute as the legal authority for the closure; the board did not discuss contents of the closed session in open session nor disclose security details. The meeting record indicates the board then adjourned the public portion and moved into closed session.
