The Bridgeport Board of Education returned from an executive session with legal counsel Oct. 27 and approved a workers' compensation settlement discussed in closed session.

Mr. Traver moved the motion to approve the settlement; the motion was seconded (record shows second by a board member identified as Jimenez). During the roll call on the motion, two board members recorded abstentions (Mr. Sikala and Mr. Medina); the chair announced the motion passed.

Because the matter was discussed in executive session, the board did not disclose settlement details in open session. The motion recorded only the motion text and the abstentions as public record.
