The Hinsdale Township High School District 86 Board of Education convened a special meeting Aug. 12 and voted to move into closed session to discuss personnel matters and probable litigation, board members said.

The board called the meeting to order at 6:06 p.m. at the District 86 Administrative Center, completed a roll call and recited the Pledge of Allegiance. Board members announced there were no members of the public present, so there was no audience communication.

During the open session the board cited exceptions in the Illinois Open Meetings Act (5 ILCS 120/2(c)(1) for personnel and 5 ILCS 120/2(c)(11) for probable or imminent litigation) and also referred to the Local Government Wage Increase Transparency Act when describing limits on closing portions of meetings that consider increases in employee compensation. Member Fisher moved to adjourn into closed session; Member Waters seconded. The board announced the motion carried on a roll-call vote, 5-0.

Board members stated the board would not take any action following the closed session other than to adjourn. The board reconvened open session at 7:48 p.m. and then adjourned the special meeting.

No votes on policies, hirings, terminations or settlements were recorded in the public portion of the meeting, and no public comments were taken during the session.
