The New Berlin School District Board of Education voted on several personnel and administrative items, including a superintendent contract extension and staffing reports, and set open‑enrollment seats for 2025–26 at zero.
Miss Crosby, board member, moved to adjourn into closed session "pursuant to section 19.85(1)(c), (e) and (f) of the Wisconsin Statutes to consider, a, the discussion approval of superintendent contract, no, b, the approval of closed session minutes of December 9th, and c, the employment performance and compensation matters pertaining to staff."

On the open session agenda the board approved the consent agenda—which included approval of the minutes of Dec. 9, acceptance of a petition regarding West Allis/West Milwaukee boundary matters (one petitioner already received), and the district long‑range library plan for 2024–25—on a motion by Mr. Bridal and a second by Miss Connick. Board members voted to approve zero open‑enrollment seats and zero special education open‑enrollment seats for the 2025–26 school year on a motion by Mr. Bridal, seconded by Miss Connick.
Procedural motions: the initial closed‑session motion referenced Wisconsin Statutes section 19.85(1)(c), (e) and (f). At the end of the meeting Mr. Bridal moved to adjourn, seconded by Mr. Zielinski; the motion passed.
No vote counts by name were recorded in the public transcript for several of the open‑session votes; the minutes reflect that each motion carried when the board voted by voice or a show of hands.
