Chair moves Monroe SD 1J into executive session and approves 2025–26 staff contract actions

The Chair of Monroe School District 1J called a brief meeting, moved the board into an executive session citing ORS 192.660(2)(e), and brought forward personnel items including notifications, non‑renewal or rehire decisions and contracts for 2025–26 certified and administrative staff. A motion to approve those personnel actions was made and seconded, and the Chair recorded a verbal 'Aye' before adjourning at 7:55.

The Chair announced the executive session authority, stating, "Then we'll move to executive session, under ORS 1 9 2 6 6 0 2 e." The meeting was scheduled to return to open session at 07:54. The transcript records the Chair asking whether anyone wanted items reviewed in public and mentions one attendee by the name Christine, but no public‑review request was entered.

On the personnel item the Chair introduced, the transcript records: "With that, then approval of notifications, non renewal or rehire and contracts for 25 26 certified and administrative staff. Feels comfortable with that, we could have a motion?" A motion was made and seconded; when the Chair asked, "Those in favor?" the response in the record was, "Aye." The transcript does not include a roll call, individual vote names, or a numerical tally.

A brief confirmation—"Rehired"—appears in the record after the vote; the transcript provides no further detail about which individual contracts or how many employees were affected. The Chair then adjourned the meeting, saying, "With that, we adjourn 7 55." The transcript contains no date and does not identify the motion mover or seconder by name.

Next steps: the transcript does not record any further actions, scheduling, or public notice about the personnel decisions. The board's reference to ORS 192.660(2)(e) was the only legal citation in the record.
