Board enters closed session under Open Meetings Act for student-discipline matter
Summary
The board met in closed session under Open Meetings Act Section 8(b) on a student-discipline matter May 29; closed session lasted from 6:03 p.m. to 6:50 p.m., per the minutes.
The Cedar Springs Public Schools Board of Education entered a closed session at 6:03 p.m. May 29 citing the Open Meetings Act, Section 8(b), for a student-discipline matter identified in the minutes as 'Student 24.25.05.' The motion to enter closed session was made by Gilmore and supported by Patin and passed 6-0.
The minutes record that the closed session concluded at 6:50 p.m. and that later in the meeting the board took formal disciplinary action related to the same student reference. The minutes provide the statutory basis for the closed session but do not include details of what was discussed during the closed session, consistent with the confidentiality rules that govern student-discipline deliberations under the act.
