Board moves to closed session to discuss negotiations and personnel matters
Summary
The board voted to adjourn the open meeting and enter closed session under Wisconsin Statutes §19.85(1)(c) and (e) to discuss collective bargaining with United Lakewood educators and evaluation/compensation for confidential and support staff, administrators and the superintendent.
Near the end of its March 17 meeting the Hamilton School Board voted to adjourn the open session and enter closed session under Wisconsin law to discuss negotiation strategy and personnel evaluations/compensation.
Statutory citation and purposes The motion invoked Wisconsin Statutes §19.85(1)(c) and (e). The stated purposes were to discuss collective bargaining matters and negotiation strategy with the United Lakewood educators and to consider evaluation and compensation for confidential support staff, administration assistants, custodians, food service personnel, administrators and the superintendent.
Vote and procedure The board moved and seconded the motion and completed a roll-call vote before adjourning open session and entering closed session. The transcript records the roll call and the board's entry into closed session; the closed-session matters were not discussed in the open transcript.
Why this matters Closed sessions under the statute permit the board to deliberate personnel and bargaining matters off the public record. The board’s action signals active contract and compensation work in the near term.
