Board meets in closed session under 'Section 8(1)(h)'; public minutes give no detail
Summary
The board entered closed session at 6:06 p.m. under 'Section 8(1)(h)' and exited at 7:14 p.m. Minutes state the exemption but do not disclose subject matter or jurisdictional detail.
The Mason Consolidated Schools Board of Education voted to enter closed session under "Section 8(1)(h): To consider material exempt from discussion or disclosure by state or federal statute." The motion to enter closed session was made by Board member England, supported by Board member Nehrig; the roll call to enter recorded six yes votes and the board recorded time entered at 6:06 p.m.
The minutes note the board exited closed session at 7:14 p.m. and do not report the subject matter discussed. The minutes record subsequent public actions, including a motion to appeal an ALJ decision that later failed on a 3-3 vote. The minutes do not specify the jurisdictional citation (for example, whether the reference is to a particular state's open meetings statute) or provide case details for the ALJ decision.
Because the minutes offer only the statutory exemption language and entry/exit times, public records requests or subsequent agenda items would be required to learn more about the closed-session subject or any related materials.
