Pennfield Schools board enters closed session under OMA 8(a), returns at 7:00 p.m.
Summary
The Pennfield Schools Board moved into a closed session permitted by Open Meetings Act section 8(a) at 6:01 p.m. and returned to open session at 7:00 p.m.; the public minutes record the motions and roll-call votes but do not disclose closed-session content.
At 6:01 p.m., the Pennfield Schools Board voted to enter a closed session "as permitted by OMA section 8 (a)." The motion was made by Austin Brown, seconded by Brad Crandall, and the roll-call vote was recorded as Yea: Austin Brown, Brad Crandall, Dawn Forton, Sarah Jones, Jennifer Sheldon, Tim Wood; Absent: Stephen Herbstreith.
The minutes state the board entered closed session at 6:01 p.m. and returned to open session at 7:00 p.m. The motion to return to open session was made by Austin Brown and seconded by Brad Crandall and recorded with the same roll-call votes.
The public minutes identify the statutory authority for the closed session (Open Meetings Act section 8(a)) but do not include any substantive discussion or decisions from inside the closed session. The minutes therefore preserve the procedural record required by the statute without disclosing the subject matter addressed in closed session.
