Board of Education approves personnel actions and adopts investigator's findings in Maine West grievance
At its regular meeting, the Board of Education voted to approve several personnel actions, adopt an investigator's findings and written decision on a Feb. 28, 2025 uniform grievance filed by a former administrator of Maine West High School, sustain a separate grievance appeal involving a student, and approve a notice of remedy for Teresa Simpson.

The board first moved to return to open session and then took a consolidated personnel motion that, as read into the record, covered a support-staff appointment, a certified-staff appointment and the support-staff dismissal of John Vilek and Alexander Kucovic. The motion was moved and seconded and board members present recorded "Aye" during the roll call.

The board approved the closed-session minutes from its Aug. 4, 2025 regular meeting, and later approved the semiannual review of closed-session items A through G, each by motion, second and recorded "Aye" votes.

On the grievance matter, the board voted to adopt the findings of the investigator and to approve the written decision regarding the uniform grievance complaint dated Feb. 28, 2025 that had been filed by a former administrator of Maine West High School. The board then voted on a related matter, sustaining a uniform grievance appeal concerning student number 90225-1. Both actions were moved, seconded and supported by recorded "Aye" votes.

The board also moved on a separate personnel action described in the record as a "notice of remedy" for Teresa Simpson; that motion was moved, seconded and approved with recorded "Aye" votes.

All formal motions on these agenda items were taken by roll call with affirmative votes from members present. The meeting concluded with a motion to adjourn that carried.

The record as read into the minutes contains the motions, seconds and roll-call "Aye" votes; the transcript does not provide details of the investigator's findings, the specific grounds of the grievance appeals, the content of the notice of remedy, or the identities of the motion movers and seconders. Those materials (investigator report, written decision, and any supporting attachments) are referenced in the board's actions but were not read aloud in full in the transcript provided.
