Swartz Creek board holds closed sessions under Michigan Open Meetings Act for student discipline and attorney–client communications
Summary
During its Dec. 17, 2025 meeting the board conducted closed sessions under MCL 15.268(8)(1)(b) for a student‑discipline hearing at the parents' request and under MCL 15.268(8)(1)(h) for attorney–client communications; both motions passed by roll call votes.
The Swartz Creek Community Schools Board of Education used two closed‑session exceptions of the Michigan Open Meetings Act on Dec. 17, 2025. The board first moved into a closed session under MCL 15.268(8)(1)(b) to consider the dismissal, suspension, or disciplining of a student at the parents' request; that motion passed by roll call. Later, the board moved into a second closed session under MCL 15.268(8)(1)(h) to consider attorney–client communications; that motion also passed by roll call among members present.
Minutes record the roll‑call approvals and times the board returned to open session ('Open Doors at 9:07 PM' and 'Open doors at 10:16 pm'). The record identifies the student only as #202530 and gives no public details of the disciplinary action. One board member (Autumn Henry) is recorded as leaving the meeting during the sequence of closed‑session items.
