Boyceville board moves into closed session to discuss Tiffany Creek Elementary principal candidates

The Boyceville Community School District Board of Education voted unanimously Feb. 11, 2026, to adjourn into closed session to consider candidates for the Tiffany Creek Elementary principal position. The special meeting opened at 5:03 p.m. in the Boyceville Middle/High School library and recessed to closed session at 5:04 p.m.

"Motion by Stacy Fetzer to adjourn to closed session under Wis. Statute 19.85(1)(c) for the purpose of discussing employment, promotion, compensation, or performance evaluation data of any public employee over which the government body has jurisdiction or exercises responsibility," the minutes record; the motion was seconded by Ben Mrdutt and passed on a roll-call vote with Carlsrud, Fetzer, Formoe, Mrdutt and Olson voting yes. The minutes use the wording above to describe the statutory basis and the meeting purpose. (The transcript text recorded the statute as "19.859(1)(c)"; that appears to be a typographical error and is reported here as Wis. Stat. § 19.85(1)(c), the open-meetings statute exemption for personnel matters.)

Because the board recessed into a statutory closed session to discuss finalist(s) and personnel matters, the minutes do not disclose discussion details or any hiring decisions in the public record. District Administrator Nick Kaiser is listed among those present; the minutes list five board members in attendance, establishing quorum. The meeting later reconvened briefly and adjourned at 6:06 p.m., with no further public actions recorded in the minutes.

The board did not release candidate names or evaluation details in the public minutes. Next procedural steps—such as whether the board will take final action in open session, release a hiring announcement, or schedule another meeting—are not specified in the public record.
