The Altenburg District #48 Board of Education voted to enter closed session at the end of its July 30, 2025 meeting to discuss personnel matters under Missouri law.
Board member Lindsay Palisch moved to go into closed session "for legal issues pursuant to 610.021(1) RSMo for the purpose of hiring, firing, discipline, or promoting of personnel employed by Altenburg Public School." Board member Andrew Lichtenegger seconded the motion. The transcript records a roll-call listing Richard Sachs, Amy Welker, Andrew Lichtenegger and Lindsay Palisch as voting "Yea." The meeting minutes include an unclear signature or notation at the end of the record; the transcript does not clearly show whether additional votes were recorded or provide a complete roll-call tally.
Jessica Hecht and Cary Roth were listed as absent earlier in the meeting. The minutes do not record any further discussion of specific personnel actions, nor do they disclose any outcomes from the closed session. Missouri statute 610.021(1) RSMo permits a public governmental body to meet in closed session to discuss certain personnel matters, which the board cited as its authority for closing the meeting.
The minutes end with the closed-session action recorded; the record does not include later public follow-up, and no further details about personnel decisions were provided in the transcript.
