Castleford school board enters executive session to consider personnel and student matter
Summary
At its Jan. 30 special meeting the Castleford School District board voted to go into executive session to consider the evaluation, dismissal or disciplining of a staff member and a public school student; the minutes record a recusal and closed discussion but give no public outcome.
The Board of Trustees of Castleford School District voted at 7:02 p.m. on Jan. 30 to enter executive session "to consider the evaluation, dismissal or disciplining of a staff member and public school student," the meeting minutes show. Trustee Kim Taylor made the motion and Trustee Brian Darrow seconded it.
The motion, as recorded in the minutes, cited a statute listed as "IC74-2016(1)(b)." A roll-call vote recorded in the minutes shows Brian Darrow, Will Jaynes, Kim Taylor, Rae Bower and Charlene Davis voting yes; the minutes state the motion carried with three‑quarters of the board voting in favor.
The board convened in executive session at 7:02 p.m. The minutes show Trustee Will Jaynes recused himself from the executive session at 7:03 p.m.; he rejoined at 8:01 p.m. The public minutes note that "personnel matters were discussed" from about 7:04 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. but do not provide further detail on the matters discussed or any personnel decisions, consistent with the confidential nature of most executive sessions on personnel.
The board exited executive session at 8:14 p.m. and, with no further business recorded in the minutes, Trustee Kim Taylor moved to adjourn; the meeting was adjourned at 8:50 p.m.
The minutes list Superintendent Dena Allred; Principal Chuck Day; Board Clerk Tanya Lanham; and athletic director Kirstin Keetch as present. The public minutes contain an internal inconsistency in the district numbering (the heading lists School District No. 417 while the body of the minutes lists No. 411); the text of these minutes refers simply to Castleford School District. The minutes also list the statutory citation as "IC74-2016(1)(b)," which appears in the record as written; the district or clerk may provide an edited or corrected citation in formal minutes or posted records.
