At a special meeting, the Madison Metropolitan School District Board of Education voted unanimously to enter closed session to review disciplinary proceedings and decisions involving individual students.

The presiding officer, Brandon (presiding board member), moved that the board go into closed session pursuant to Wisconsin Statutes 19.85(1)(a), (f) and (g); section 118.125; and 120.13(1)(e). Board member Maya seconded the motion. Brandon said the closed session was "for the purpose of reviewing disciplinary proceedings and decisions involving individual students."

During a roll call the board recorded all votes as "aye." Vice President Pearson, Board member Muldrow, Board member Saravo, Brandon, Board member Castro and Board member Mosner Faldo each voted in favor of moving into closed session. The board then proceeded into closed session; no substantive disciplinary details were disclosed in the public portion of the meeting excerpt.

The motion and vote took place at the start of a brief special meeting and were procedural in nature: the board cited statutory authority to discuss confidential student matters out of public view. Because the matters to be discussed concern individual students, the board conducted the deliberations and any decisions in closed session under the cited statutes. No additional actions, motions, or outcomes relating to individual disciplinary decisions were recorded in the public transcript excerpt.
