Board moves into closed sessions for negotiations and personnel under KOMA
Summary
The board voted to enter closed executive sessions to discuss employer‑employee negotiations and non‑elected personnel matters under the Kansas Open Meetings Act (KOMA), inviting Superintendent Koester, Assistant Superintendent Burris and Director Applegate to attend.
During the April 1 meeting the board voted to go into closed executive session under the Kansas Open Meetings Act (KOMA) to discuss employer‑employee negotiations and later to discuss resignations, retirements, employments and transfers of non‑elected personnel. The motions invited Superintendent Matt Koester, Assistant Superintendent Burris and Director Tyler Applegate to join the sessions and specified return times (8:15 p.m. for the negotiations session and 8:25 p.m. for the personnel session as recorded in the agenda text).
"I move to go into closed executive session to discuss negotiations pursuant to the exception for employer-employee negotiations under KOMA, inviting Superintendent Koester, Assistant Superintendent Burris and Director Applegate, and return to open session in this room at 8:15pm," the motion recorded in the minutes states. The motion was made by Bri Leroy and seconded by Dr. Bruce Lee and carried unanimously. A subsequent motion for non‑elected personnel appears later in the excerpt; the transcript ends before full details are recorded.
