From the WCLO newsroom:

The Janesville School Board is planning a second closed-door meeting Saturday evening.

Thursday the board met for several hours at its attorney's office. The meeting was unusual because it was held away from school district offices, and only the school board and the board's attorney were present. Attorney Dave Moore says in the more than four years he has worked with the school board, this was the first meeting held at his law office.

After Thursday's meeting, board members refused to discuss the topic of discussion, which had been described in the agenda as "likely to have a substantial adverse effect upon the reputation of the person involved".

Saturday, the board meeting again in closed session "to consider employment and compensation data of a public employee over which the board exercises responsibility". The board may reconvene in open session to consider a motion to approve an agreement relating to employment of a public employee.

I heard but I won't say the name it is someone higher up in the Janesville school dist. Not a teacher!I don't want to say who until I know for sure. If it is true a lot of tax payers would be in a uproar.

SarahB- I totally agree. I'm also thinking that this may be a administrative position. If it were teaching staff, it would be blasted all over the front page.

It's gotta be either sex or drugs to cause this big of a hush-hush.

This is how I see it. Someone really messed up. That person has a high profile position - either a coach or a principal - and they are out of a job. The settlement will be reached, and neither party will comment.

ihavealife - actually if they are meeting over what I think they are, money would be involved.

rooster, spending proposals don't fall under the closed meeting statute. This is a personnel matter.
