Summary
The Flambeau School District Board voted 7-0 to move into closed session under Wis. Stat. 19.85 to consider the possible dismissal of a staff member or to discuss and act on a resignation; the board later reconvened and acted on the personnel matter.
At 6:04 p.m. on June 30, 2026, the Flambeau School District Board of Education voted to convene in closed session under Wis. Stat. 19.85(1)(a), (c), (f) and/or (g) to consider the possible dismissal of a staff member or to address their resignation.
The motion was made by Lana Nelson and seconded by Amy Lund; the minutes record a roll-call vote of 7-0 in favor. The motion stated the board may deliberate privately and may consider oral or written advice from legal counsel during the closed session, and that it may take action while in closed session.
Attorney Kirk Strang was present via Zoom, according to the minutes, and the board subsequently reconvened to open session at 6:18 p.m. on a motion by Lana Nelson, seconded by Zenny Mahun, again carried 7-0. On reconvening the board approved the resignation of the Middle/High School Physical Education Teacher, Athletic Director and High School Track Co-Head Coach by a 7-0 roll-call vote.
The minutes cite Wis. Stat. 19.85 as the statutory basis for private deliberation; they do not provide the content of the closed-session discussion or specify whether the resignation was first acted on during closed session or in open session.
