Board plans closed session to consider teacher resignation; hire of Abby Hille announced

The Onalaska School District board on April 28 reviewed personnel changes and said it would convene a closed session to consider a teacher’s resignation request and related personnel matters.

Cassandra presented the personnel report and noted one teacher has submitted a resignation because she is moving out of the area. The report recommended hiring Abby Hille as a special-education teacher at Irving Perch and noted Brian Booker began work this week as a custodian at the middle school. "Abby Hille for, the board to approve as our special education teacher at Irving Perch," Cassandra said.

Cassandra described several resignation notifications as routine end-of-year moves — some staff relocating or returning to school — and said most departures were not on bad terms. Following the personnel report, the board announced it would entertain a motion to convene a closed session under Wisconsin Statute 19.85 to consider employment, promotion, compensation or performance-evaluation data of a public employee and the circumstances around the resignation request. The meeting materials state the board may take action and intends to adjourn at the conclusion of the closed session. The transcript captures the statutory motion language but does not record the vote or a public outcome in the provided excerpt.

The board did not discuss personnel details in open session in the provided transcript; any board action, vote or written decision on the resignation or hire is not included in the excerpt.
