Board moves into closed session to discuss settlement strategy in Vanderland case
Summary
The board voted to enter closed session under Open Meetings Act §8(1)(e) to discuss settlement strategy in Vanderland v. Hartland Consolidated Schools. The board said it would return only to adjourn and that the adjournment time will be recorded in the minutes.
The Hartland Consolidated Schools Board of Education voted to go into closed session under the Open Meetings Act, section 8(1)(e), to discuss settlement strategy with the district's attorney in the case Vanderland v. Hartland Consolidated Schools.
Cindy Shaw moved that the board enter closed session for the stated purpose; Mr. Campbell supported the motion. The board recorded roll-call votes in the affirmative and stated the only business after the closed session would be adjournment. The board noted that public disclosure of settlement strategy would be financially detrimental to the district, the reason cited for the closed-session authority.
The board took no further public action before recessing into closed session; the time of adjournment will be included in the published minutes when available.
