Summary

The Rice Lake Area School District board approved Nov. 24 minutes, its consent agenda and both middle- and high-school course description guides on Dec. 8, and subsequently voted in favor of convening a closed session under Wis. Stat. 19.85(1)(c) to address closed-session minutes. Individual voice votes were recorded as 'aye'; formal roll-call for closed session recorded 'yes' from members present.

The Rice Lake Area School District board on Dec. 8 approved routine business items and moved into closed session.

The presiding officer entertained a motion to approve the Nov. 24 regular session minutes; members moved, seconded and approved the minutes by voice vote. The board then approved the consent agenda, which included the monthly budget and cash reconciliation report, board bills and employment resignations, after a motion and second. Both the Rice Lake Middle School course description guide (second reading) and the Rice Lake High School 2026–27 course description guide (second reading) were presented with no changes and approved following motions and voice votes.

The board then moved to convene in closed session pursuant to Wisconsin Statute 19.85(1)(c) to approve closed-session minutes from Nov. 24. A motion to go into closed session was made and seconded; a roll-call vote was taken and members present responded affirmatively. Transcript records the roll-call responses as affirmative but does not provide a detailed vote tally for the earlier voice votes on minutes, consent agenda and course guides.

Why it matters: Routine approvals keep district operations and curriculum scheduling on track; the closed-session motion follows state procedures for non-public personnel or legal minutes review under Wis. Stat. 19.85(1)(c).

Next steps: The board proceeded into closed session to process the specified closed-session minutes and related items; the public meeting record resumes after any required reconvening.
