Committee approves warrants and votes to enter executive session on bargaining or litigation
Summary
The School Committee approved four warrants and voted to enter executive session to discuss collective bargaining or litigation; the executive-session vote was taken by roll call.
The Grafton School Committee approved warrants 44, 45, 46 and 47 and then voted to enter executive session to discuss strategy related to collective bargaining or litigation.
Why it matters: Warrant approvals are routine fiscal business that authorize payments; the executive session indicates the committee planned confidential deliberations on bargaining or litigation strategy.
A member moved that the committee approve warrants 44, 45, 46 and 47; the motion was seconded, put to a voice vote and the motion carried. Later the committee moved to enter executive 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," and the motion was seconded. The committee then conducted a roll-call vote. The transcript records affirmative roll-call votes: Kristi Kielbasinski — aye; Stella Relele Leznick — aye; Rebecca Soper — aye; Laura Ofton — I (aye); Leora Brom — I (aye). The chair then closed the public meeting and the committee went into executive session.
No details of bargaining positions or litigation strategy were discussed in public; the committee moved into the closed session at the end of the meeting as recorded.
