The Board recessed into executive session three times during the Oct. 20 meeting to address student‑discipline matters under section 8(b) of the Michigan Open Meetings Act, each with parental permission. The first recess began at 8:28 p.m.; the Board reconvened at 9:00 p.m. and approved a resolution related to student 2526‑03 by a 7‑0 roll call. A second executive session began at 9:01 p.m.; after reconvening at 9:19 p.m., the Board approved a resolution related to student 2425‑11 by a 7‑0 roll call. A third student‑discipline executive session began at 9:20 p.m.; the Board reconvened at 9:43 p.m. and approved a resolution related to student 2425‑22, again by a 7‑0 roll call.
At 9:44 p.m. the Board recessed to consider a letter from attorneys dated Oct. 20, 2025 under Open Meetings Act section 8(1)(h) asserting attorney–client privilege; the Board reconvened at 10:24 p.m. Minutes record no further public details from the closed sessions beyond the motions and roll‑call approvals.
Because the actions involve student‑discipline matters discussed in closed session, the minutes use case identifiers rather than student names; the Board recorded each motion, second and unanimous roll‑call vote.
