Kenyon-Wanamingo board closes meeting for property sale after public initially refuses to leave
Summary
During an emergency May 10 meeting, the Kenyon-Wanamingo School Board closed part of the session under MN Stat. 13D.05 for a property sale; some members of the public initially refused to leave and were removed before the board reconvened and voted to accept an offer.
The Kenyon-Wanamingo School Board moved into a closed session at 8:41 a.m. May 10 under Minnesota Statute 13D.05, Subd. 3(c), which permits private discussion of the purchase or sale of real property. Chair Tonya Craig made the motion and the board approved it on a 7-0 roll call (M/S/C Craig/Lindell).
Minutes note that members of the public present at the start of the meeting refused to leave when the board went into closed session. Board member Marilyn Syverson called a point of order twice and suggested removing those individuals; the remaining public left the room at 8:53 a.m. The board reopened the meeting at 9:41 a.m. and subsequently voted 7-0 to accept an offer from Two Oak Hills Properties LLC. The minutes do not record any disciplinary actions or formal complaints tied to the removal.
