Windsor Locks Board of Education holds executive session to discuss confidential student matter

The Windsor Locks Board of Education met in a special session on June 18, 2026, at the Windsor Locks High School Library Media Center and voted unanimously to enter an executive session to discuss an attorney-client privileged, confidential student matter.

Greg Guyette, a member of the Windsor Locks Board of Education, moved "to go into executive session for the purpose of a discussion concerning an attorney client privileged communication regarding a confidential student matter," and Amber Mortensen-Hurdle seconded the motion. The motion listed those to be included: all board members; the superintendent of schools; the executive director of curriculum, instruction and assessment; Attorney Jessica Ritter; the NSS principal; and Patti Phelan. The board entered executive session at 4:59 p.m.

Minutes note that the board exited executive session at 5:55 p.m.; the record in the minutes does not disclose the subject matter beyond the description in the motion, consistent with the attorney-client privileged nature of the session. A motion to adjourn, made by Lindsay Cutler and seconded by Greg Guyette, passed unanimously and the meeting adjourned at 5:56 p.m.

Members present were Alba Osorio (chair), Greg Guyette, Amber Mortensen-Hurdle, Lindsay Cutler and Dennis Gragnolati. Administrators listed in the minutes included Shawn Parkhurst, Rebecca Bissonnette and Giovanna Testani. Others noted as present were Attorney Jessica Ritter and Patti Phelan.
