The Weston Public Schools School Committee approved the consent agenda and subsequently voted to enter executive session to discuss collective bargaining or litigation.
A motion was made to approve the consent agenda, which included meeting minutes from 01/27/2025, a student club proposal for an eMusic Club, VC grants, the regular warrant and acceptance of grants to the district. The committee took a roll-call vote; members recorded on the transcript as voting "aye" included Jeff, Ken, Adam, Chuck and Chao and the presiding chair also recorded an affirmative vote. The minutes and listed items were approved.
Immediately after, a motion was made and seconded to enter executive session "for the purposes of, without an intent to return to open session, to discuss strategy with respect to collective bargaining or litigation, if an open meeting may have a detrimental effect on the bargaining or litigating position of the public body." The committee approved the motion by roll call; the meeting then moved into executive session and did not return to open session that night.
No substantive bargaining or litigation details were discussed in open session; the votes and the items in the consent agenda are part of the public record.
