Board moves student-discipline hearing to closed session 'for the dignity of the family'
Summary
The Boyne City Public Schools board temporarily moved a student-discipline hearing (No. 242502) to closed session, saying the change was to preserve family dignity; the board conducted a roll-call assent and recessed to hear the matter privately.
Chair opened the meeting with an unplanned agenda change to move a student-discipline hearing to a closed room, saying the shift was meant to protect privacy. "We prefer to do that student discipline hearing down the hall for the dignity of the family," the Chair said when announcing the change.
The Chair asked the board to adopt a motion to enter closed session at 6:07 p.m. to conduct student-discipline hearing number 242502; the motion carried after a roll-call-style assent. The board indicated the hearing would take approximately 25–45 minutes and that decisions about the student would be made in the closed session before the meeting returned to open session. The board did not disclose additional details about the case in open session.
