Granton board accepts resignation, hires first-grade teacher after executive session
Summary
After convening in executive session under Wis. Stat. 19.85(1)(c), the Granton Area School District board returned to open session and approved the resignation of Rhonda Pernsteiner and the hiring of Etazhanae Baker as first-grade teacher for the remainder of 2025–26.
The Granton Area School District board convened an executive session at 9:10 p.m. Nov. 18 under Wisconsin Statute 19.85(1)(c) to discuss personnel matters. The roll call vote to enter executive session was unanimous: Erica Bender, Douglas Eichten, Jamie Elmhorst, Mark Elmhorst and Sheryl Young all voted yea.
The board returned to open session at 10:07 p.m. and School Board Clerk Douglas Eichten reported that no action was taken while in executive session. The board then approved two personnel motions in open session: accepting the resignation of Rhonda Pernsteiner (motion by Douglas Eichten; second by Mark Elmhorst) and hiring Etazhanae Baker as first-grade teacher for the remainder of the 2025'26 school year (motion by Jamie Elmhorst; second by Erica Bender). Both motions were carried by voice vote. The minutes do not specify Pernsteiner's position title, effective date of resignation, or the salary and start date for Baker's hire.
The board's use of executive session was recorded with statutory citation. No appeals, public objections, or further personnel details were recorded in the meeting minutes.
