EXECUTIVE SESSIONS
The Evansville Community School District Board of Education shall convene all meetings of the Board and its committees in open session except during consideration of certain confidential business items as specified in Wisconsin State Statutes for which the Board may convene in executive (closed) session.
Executive sessions must be convened from within the structure of an open meeting. The Board President must announce to those present at the meeting the general nature of the business to be considered at the closed session. No other business will be taken up during that session. The motion to convene an executive session shall reference the specific statutory exemption(s) authorizing the closed session and must be approved by a majority vote recorded via the roll call process.
The Board will not commence an open session, subsequently convene in a closed session, and then reconvene into an open session within a 12-hour period, unless public notice of the subsequent open session was given at the same time and in the same manner as the public notice of the initial meeting.
Meeting minutes shall reflect that the Board convened in closed session and the statutory exemption(s) cited.
