Pulaski board votes to enter closed session to discuss superintendent contract
Summary
At the end of the meeting the board voted on a motion to enter closed session to discuss the superintendent contract under Wis. Stat. A7 19.85(1)(c); the motion was moved by Speaker 13, seconded by Speaker 14 and carried on a voice vote.
The Pulaski Community School District board voted to enter closed session Friday to discuss the superintendent's contract under Wisconsin law. Speaker 1 stated the board needed to move into closed session to discuss "the superintendent contract for Wisconsin statute 19 85 1 c" and asked for a motion. Speaker 13 said, "I'll make a motion to move into closed session." Speaker 14 seconded. Speaker 1 called a voice vote; the transcript records "Aye" and "Motion carried." No roll-call tally was recorded in the public transcript.
Why it matters: Wisconsin Stat. A7 19.85(1)(c) authorizes governmental bodies to meet in closed session to consider employment, promotion, compensation or performance evaluation data of any public employee over which the governmental body has jurisdiction. The board moved under that statutory authority and conducted the public vote to enter closed session on the record. The transcript does not include any further discussion of the superintendent contract because that discussion was moved to closed session.
Next step: The board entered closed session after the vote; the public meeting portion concluded with announcements of future agenda items.
