Board approves agenda, consent items and votes to enter closed session
Summary
The Whitnall School District Board adopted the meeting agenda, approved the consent agenda and voted to adjourn to closed session under state open‑meeting statute to consider a personnel performance evaluation.
The Whitnall School District Board of Education took three formal procedural votes during the meeting: adopting the agenda, approving the consent agenda and adjourning into a closed session to consider personnel performance evaluation data.
At the start of the meeting the board voted to adopt the agenda as presented. The presiding officer called for a motion; a board member moved and the motion carried after an "Aye" vote. The meeting minutes indicate: "Motion to adopt the agenda passes." No roll‑call tally was recorded in the transcript for that vote.
Later the board approved the consent agenda without items pulled. The presiding officer called for a motion to approve the consent agenda, and the board voted "Aye." The transcript records: "Consent agenda is approved." No individual vote tally was read into the record for that action.
At the end of the open session the board voted to adjourn to closed session pursuant to Section 19.85(1)(c) of the Wisconsin Statutes to consider employment, promotion, compensation, or performance evaluation data of a public employee over which the governmental body has jurisdiction. The motion was moved and seconded; the board then conducted a roll‑call vote with affirmative responses. The presiding officer announced: "Motion passes. We will go into closed after a short recess." The transcript records multiple "Aye/Yes" responses during the roll call but does not list individual member votes by name in the excerpt.
Summary of formal actions
- Adopt agenda as presented — outcome: approved (tally not specified in transcript). - Approve consent agenda — outcome: approved (tally not specified in transcript). - Adjourn to closed session under Section 19.85(1)(c), Wisconsin Statutes — outcome: approved (roll call recorded as unanimous in transcript excerpt; individual named votes not specified).
Notes: The closed session motion identified the statutory authority as Section 19.85(1)(c) of the Wisconsin Statutes; the board indicated the meeting would be adjourned following closed session and no further open‑session action was expected.
