During the meeting, the board will enter executive session to “take action on an employee grievance,” with board action regarding the grievance to follow the executive session. The employee grievance in question relates to a teacher “questioning provisions” of the district’s master agreement with the Lawrence Education Association, district spokeswoman Julie Boyle said in an email.
