Albert Lea board grants family request for open hearing on student privacy
Summary
The school board approved a motion to hold a full open session addressing Private Educational Data after the student's family requested openness; the vote was 6-0. The action allowed the board to deliberate and vote publicly on the expulsion resolution.
The Albert Lea Public School District board voted 6-0 to allow a full open session addressing Private Educational Data on a student after the family requested that deliberations be public.
The transcript records: "The family requested an open meeting and open deliberations." The board then approved a motion (moved by Mary Jo Dorman and seconded by Angie Hoffman) "to approve a full open session to Private Educational Data on a student," recorded in the minutes as carried 6-0. That vote permitted evidence and deliberations to occur in public rather than in a closed session for private educational data.
The board proceeded with the hearing and later adopted a resolution to expel the student by roll-call vote.
