Darlington board hires Ben Trout as maintenance director after executive session
Summary
After an executive session under Wis. Stat. 19.85(1)(c) on Sept. 26, the board voted to hire Ben Trout as Maintenance Director; the minutes record the motions and that the hiring motion carried.
The Darlington Community School District board voted to hire Ben Trout as Maintenance Director at its Sept. 26, 2025 special meeting following an executive session.
Minutes show a motion by Gratz, seconded by Stauffacher, to go into executive session pursuant to Wisconsin Statutes 19.85(1)(c) for a 'Maintenance Director Candidate.' The motion carried unanimously according to the minutes. After returning to open session (motion by Gratz, seconded by Stauffacher), Riechers moved and Gratz seconded a motion to hire Ben Trout as Maintenance Director; the minutes state the motion carried.
The minutes do not record a roll-call tally or the hire's start date, compensation, or terms of employment. The executive session citation in the minutes — Wis. Stat. 19.85(1)(c) — indicates the discussion was held under the statute's personnel exemption, but the minutes provide no further personnel detail.
The board then moved to adjourn. The minutes were submitted by Cale Jackson.
