Board moves into closed session and reconvenes; minutes show inconsistent wording
Summary
The Laraway board voted 5–0 to adjourn to a closed session on March 10, 2026 and later recorded a return to open session; the minutes repeat the closed‑session motion text in a section headed 'Adjournment to Open Session', an inconsistency noted in the record.
The board recorded a motion to adjourn to closed session early in the March 10 meeting. "Mr. Hopkins moved, seconded by Mr. Brass, ‘move to adjourn to closed session.’ On a roll call vote, Brass, Hopkins, Knight, D Matenaer and Washington voted aye. There were no nays. Motion passed 5-0," the minutes state.
The minutes later include an 'ADJOURNMENT TO OPEN SESSION' entry that repeats the same motion text verbatim. The entry again records a 5–0 roll call. The minutes therefore show the board recessed into closed session and subsequently returned to open session, but the section text repeats the earlier motion; the inconsistency appears in the minutes themselves rather than in an external record. No substantive votes or actions requiring public disclosure were recorded during the closed session entries in the minutes.
