+10.9V on Motor Shield VIN

I'm seeing about +10.9 Volts on my meter across the VIN /GND screw terminals on my Arduino Motor Shield REV 3.

Is this normal? Or is it evidence I have a short or something somewhere?

Got it ... I need the VIN Connect jumper on the board cut.

Because I have a 12V power supply to the Arduino connected I'm seeing that supply at the Motor Shield's VIN out terminals.

Apologies for disturbing you: forgive a beginner.
