Board holds three closed sessions under KOMA, then approves personnel report
Summary
The board entered closed executive sessions to discuss confidential student information and non-elected personnel matters under the Kansas Open Meetings Act, then approved the personnel report in open session. The minutes do not disclose confidential details.
At the Nov. 5 meeting the board entered three closed executive sessions: to discuss confidential student information under the KOMA exception for actions affecting a student; to discuss an individual employee’s performance under the non-elected personnel exception; and to discuss resignations, retirements, employment and transfers of non-elected personnel. Each motion to enter closed session carried, and the sessions invited Superintendent Matt Koester, Assistant Superintendent Dr. Heather Burris and Director Tyler Applegate when appropriate.
After reconvening to open session the board voted to approve the personnel report as presented in the agenda. The public minutes do not disclose the confidential student matters or personnel details discussed during the closed sessions, consistent with the statutory protections cited in the motions.
