Flambeau School Board votes 6-0 to enter closed session for district administrator evaluation

The Flambeau School District Board of Education voted 6-0 on Aug. 12, 2026, to convene a closed session to discuss the District Administrator’s evaluation. The motion to move into closed session was made at 6:03 p.m. by Board Member Zenny Mahun and seconded by Board Member Amy Lund, and the roll call vote was recorded as Yes from Laura Dutter-Nelson, Amy Lund, Zenny Mahun, Lana Nelson, Jennifer Heath and Ted Alberson.

The motion invoked state law "pursuant to Wis. Stat. 19.85(1)(c), considering employment, promotion, compensation, or performance evaluation data of any public employee over which the governmental body has jurisdiction or exercises responsibility; specifically, to discuss the District Administrator's evaluation." The minutes record only the motion, the statutory citation and the roll call; no substantive details of the evaluation were provided in the available public minutes because discussion occurred in closed session.

The meeting had opened with a roll call and approval of the agenda before the closed-session motion. The minutes record the meeting adjourned at 7:00 p.m. after the closed session. The minutes also include a clerk signature line naming Kim Dachel as School District of Flambeau Board of Education Clerk; earlier in the minutes Kim Dachel is listed as absent on the roll call. The minutes do not reconcile that attendance notation; the record supplied here does not provide additional clarification.
