Board moves into closed session to review student disciplinary proceedings

An unidentified board member called a special Board of Education meeting and moved that the board enter closed session "pursuant to Wisconsin state statute sections 19.851 a, f, and g, 1 18.125, and or 1 20.131 e" for "the purpose of reviewing disciplinary proceedings and decisions involving individual students." The motion was made aloud during the public portion of the meeting and recorded in the minutes.

The motion was approved on a roll call. Board member Muldrow recorded "Aye," Board member Scribe recorded "Aye," Board member Muzartalfa recorded "Aye," and Vice president Pearson recorded "Aye." The transcript records those four affirmative votes; the transcript does not list other members or indicate whether a full quorum was present.

The board cited Wisconsin statutory authority as the legal basis for convening a closed session to address student disciplinary matters. The transcript does not record additional discussion of the underlying disciplinary cases, any motions to amend the action, a second for the motion, or public disclosures of case details. No further public actions or next steps were specified in the provided record.

Because the meeting moved into closed session to consider individual student disciplinary proceedings, the discussion and any records from that portion of the meeting are not public under the cited statutory authority. The transcript provided ends after the roll call and the recorded ayes.
