Summary
The Flambeau School District Board of Education voted unanimously (6-0) at a special April 8 meeting to go into closed session after a legal clarification about closed versus open sessions; staff attendance changes were also recorded.
The Flambeau School District Board of Education voted unanimously to enter a closed session at the start of its special meeting on April 8, 2025. Motion language recorded in the minutes states: "Motion by Doug Verdegan and seconded by Lana Nelson to go into Closed session." The roll-call vote recorded Laura Dutter-Nelson, Doug Verdegan, Lana Nelson, Ted Alberson, Linda Zimmer and Brian Beardsley as voting YES; the motion carried 6-0.
Before the motion, Kirk Strang, participating via Zoom, "explained the difference between closed and open sessions," according to the minutes. That explanation preceded the board’s formal motion and roll-call vote to convene in closed session.
