Board approves employment agreements for three district administrators for 2025–26

The Plainfield Community Consolidated School District 202 Board of Education on Aug. 27 approved employment agreements for three administrators for the 2025–26 school year.

Board members voted to approve an employment agreement between the board and Cynthia Baxter for the 2025–26 school year after a motion and second. The board separately approved employment agreements for Mary Ellen Miller and William Smith for the 2025–26 school year by motion and roll‑call votes.

The board did not discuss contract terms in public during the meeting; each approval was presented as an action item and carried on the board’s vote. No motions to amend or delay the contracts were recorded in the meeting minutes.

Why it matters: Employment agreements for district administrators establish leadership continuity for the upcoming school year. The approvals were routine action items on the board’s consent/ action docket.
