New Berlin board moves into closed session on personnel; approves consent agenda and employment report
Summary
The board convened into closed session to discuss personnel matters, returned to open session, approved the consent agenda (including a Costa Rica field trip application and WIAA girls lacrosse co-op), and approved an employment services report from closed session.
The Board of Education of the School District of New Berlin recessed into closed session to discuss personnel matters and closed-session minutes, citing "section 19.851 c, e, and f of those Wisconsin statutes," and returned to open session at about 7:04 p.m.
Miss Crosby moved to enter closed session; Mister Seidel seconded. A roll call recorded unanimous 'yes' votes from the members present (Miss Crosby; Mister Seidel; Mister Helmer; Miss Konik; Miss Schulz; Miss Findler; Mister Zielinski). On return to open session the board took several procedural votes.
The board approved the consent agenda, which the meeting materials show included notice and approval of minutes from March 10, the Costa Rica 2026 field trip application, and the WIAA co-op sports renewal for girls lacrosse. The motion to approve the consent agenda was made by Mister Seidel and seconded by Mister Helmer and passed by voice/hand vote; individual roll-call votes were not recorded in the transcript.
An action item from closed session — the employment services report — was moved for approval by Miss Spindler, seconded by Miss Crosby, and passed by voice/raise-hand vote. The transcript records that the report was presented in closed session and approved upon return to open session; the transcript does not provide the detailed content of the employment services report in open session.
Other procedural matters included a first reading of policy 5200.01 (staff were asked to send comments to Mr. Garza in advance of the next meeting) and scheduling of future board meeting dates. The meeting adjourned after a final motion by Mister Seidel and second by Mister Helmer.
