Box Elder School District board votes to enter closed session to discuss personnel

At a virtual meeting, the Box Elder School District board voted to enter a closed session to discuss personnel after a motion by board member Julie Taylor and a second from Wade Hyde.

Taylor introduced the motion directly: “I move that we go into closed session to discuss personnel,” and Hyde responded, “I second it.” The board then followed a roll-call procedure to record votes before leaving the public meeting.

The chair led the roll call and recorded affirmative votes for Tiffany Summers, Julie Taylor, Wade Hyde, Stephanie DePhillips, Karen Cronin and Danielle Wright. The chair confirmed an initial quorum of five members (the chair, Hyde, DePhillips, Cronin and Taylor) and noted that Danielle Wright rejoined and was recorded as voting yes before the board entered closed session. The chair announced, “So we are now going into closed session,” and the public portion of the meeting was paused.

No further public discussion of the personnel matter was recorded in the transcript. The board moved into the closed session as recorded; the transcript does not provide details about the personnel matters to be discussed or any subsequent actions taken during the closed session.
