Milan Area Schools board rates superintendent "effective" after closed-session evaluation
Summary
After a closed session under the Michigan Open Meetings Act, the Milan Area Schools Board of Education returned to open session and rated Superintendent Brian Gierbaugh "effective" for the 2024–25 school year; the vote included one abstention by newly appointed board member Gabe Burdette.
The Milan Area Schools Board of Education met in closed session under section 8(1)(a) of the Michigan Open Meetings Act for a periodic personnel evaluation and then returned to open session to vote that Superintendent Brian Gierbaugh is rated "effective" for the 2024–25 school year.
The closed-session motion to meet under MCL 15.268(1)(a) was moved by Miss Gutierrez and supported by Miss Murray. Board members voted to enter closed session and later returned to open session for a single item of business: the superintendent evaluation and rating.
After the closed session, a motion by Miss Pryor, supported by Miss Gutierrez, moved to rate Superintendent Brian Gierbaugh as "effective" for the 2024–25 school year. The board adopted the rating. During roll call, one member, Gabe Burdette, abstained, saying he had not completed the mandatory superintendent-evaluation training; other members voted in favor.
The board announced that the closed session would be used only for the evaluation and that, upon return, the sole order of business would be the rating and then adjournment.
