Madison school board votes to enter closed session to discuss property and fund negotiations
Summary
The Madison Metropolitan School District Board of Education voted to go into closed session under Wisconsin Statutes section 19.85(1)(g) to deliberate negotiations related to public property and the investment of public funds; the motion passed by roll call.
An unnamed board member moved that the Madison Metropolitan School District Board of Education enter closed session under Wisconsin Statutes section 19.85(1)(g) to "deliberat[e] or negotiat[e] the purchase of public properties, the investing of public funds, or conduct[] other specified public business whenever competitive or bargaining reasons require closed session," the board record shows.
The motion was approved by roll call. Board member Vander Meulen voted "aye," Board member Muldrow voted "aye," Board member Saravo voted "aye," Board member Mosner Feltam voted "aye," and Board member Castro voted "aye." Board member Pierson was not present at the roll call. The board member who made the motion also voted in favor.
The board moved into closed session immediately after the roll call; the public transcript provided no additional public discussion of the topics to be discussed in closed session. The statutory language cited permits a governmental body in Wisconsin to close a meeting for competitive or bargaining reasons when deliberation in public would harm the government's position.
No date, additional agenda detail, or expected duration for the closed session was specified in the public transcript. The transcript records only the motion to enter closed session and the roll call vote that approved it.
