Chippewa Falls Area Unified School District board approves agenda, moves into executive session
Summary
Board members approved the meeting agenda and the executive session agenda, then voted to adjourn into executive session under Wisconsin statutes to consider prior closed minutes, personnel matters and legal counsel advice.
The Chippewa Falls Area Unified School District board opened its meeting, established a quorum and approved the meeting agenda by voice vote.
The moderator announced a quorum and called for a motion to approve the agenda; Steve Olson moved to approve and Dennis Fear seconded. The moderator called for a voice vote, members responded 'Aye,' and the moderator stated the motion carries and the agenda was approved as presented.
The board then approved the executive session agenda. Sherry Jasper moved to approve the executive session agenda and a second was recorded in the transcript as 'Second by here.' A voice vote followed and the moderator confirmed the motion carried.
Later the board voted to adjourn into executive session to discuss prior closed-session minutes, review specific employment actions concerning individual employees, and discuss legal litigation matters and written or oral advice of legal counsel. A motion to move to executive session was made (recorded in the transcript as "Motion by Macklellan") and seconded by Steve Olson. The meeting conducted a roll call; multiple members answered 'Aye' in sequence, and the moderator concluded, "Motion carries," before adjourning into executive session.
Attendance and roll-call notes in the transcript record the following individual names during the meeting: Dennis Fear; Sherry Jasper; Dave Martineau; Sherry McElum (the transcript later references a Sherry Macklellan); Peggy McKillop; Steve Olson; Dave Chubb (later spelled "Dave Chek" in the transcript); and Megan McKillop. The transcript contains inconsistent spellings for some names; those variants are noted above.
The board cited Wisconsin open-meeting law governing closed sessions (the transcript references "section 19.85" of the Wisconsin statutes). The meeting record does not include a written copy of the executive-session motion text beyond the oral motions and the roll call recorded on the record.
The board entered executive session per the vote recorded on the transcript; no substantive deliberations from that executive session appear in the public portion of the transcript.
The meeting's next public action after the roll call is the moderator's statement, "You're now in," indicating the start of the executive session.
