Agenda includes executive session under Sec. 19.85(1)(c) Wis. Stats.; public minutes omit closed-session content
Summary
The Sept. 18 agenda lists an executive closed session under Sec. 19.85(1)(c) Wis. Stats. to consider personnel matters and a staff licensure conflict; the public minutes provide the statutory citation but do not disclose closed-session discussion or outcomes.
The board’s agenda for Sept. 18, 2024 included item 8: an executive closed session 'under Sec. 19.85(1)(c) Wis. Stats., concerning employment, promotion, compensation, or performance evaluation data of any public employee' and an item to 'consider staff licensure conflict.' The minutes record the statutory citation and the intent to convene but do not include closed-session discussion or any subsequent public action.
Because Wisconsin law permits confidential discussion of certain personnel matters in closed session, the public minutes appropriately omit the substance of what was discussed in executive session. The minutes as provided do not indicate whether any personnel decisions were made or whether the board returned to open session and recorded any action; the statutory reference is the only public detail in the excerpt.
