Board moves to closed session to review president's midyear evaluation

At the end of its regular session the Mid State Technical College board moved into closed session to discuss the college president’s midyear evaluation.

The chair read the statutory basis for the closed session: discussion under Wisconsin Statute 19.85, paragraph (1)(d), which permits closed consideration of employment, promotion, compensation, or performance-evaluation data of any public employee. A motion to move into closed session was made and seconded, and the board convened in closed session.

After convening, the chair reported the board was satisfied with the president’s progress on annual goals but noted concern about the financial forecast going forward; the chair said the board would address forecast concerns when working on the budget.

The transcript records the statutory citation and the motion to convene; it does not record votes by individual board members in open session beyond the motion and roll-call procedure to enter closed session. No further open-session action on the evaluation was reported in the transcript.
