Board votes to issue warning letters to two teachers after closed-session review
Summary
At its May 13, 2025 meeting, the Waukegan CUSD 60 Board of Education voted to issue warning letters to a tenured teacher and a probationary teacher following closed-session personnel reviews; the board cited statutory authority in both cases and recorded split roll-call votes with two members passing on one item.
Waukegan CUSD 60 Board of Education members voted May 13 to issue warning letters to two teachers after discussing personnel matters in closed session.
The board approved a warning letter for a tenured teacher, citing what the agenda described as “charges that are considered remediable and require the employee to remediate such behaviors in order to avoid dismissal,” with a statutory reference shown on the agenda as “105 ILCS 24 12 (d).” The motion to approve the warning was moved by Mr. Riddle; the motion carried in a roll-call vote in which Miss Fabian, Miss Lensing, Mr. McBride, Miss Ramirez and Mr. Riddle voted yes and President Rodriguez recorded a pass.
A second item recommended a warning letter for a probationary teacher under a statutory citation on the agenda rendered as “105 ILCS ten-twenty 2.4.” That motion also passed after a roll-call vote. Miss Fabian, Mr. McBride, Miss Ramirez and Mr. Riddle voted yes; Miss Lensing and President Rodriguez recorded passes. The board announced the probationary matter involved Sergio Rabelo Suero and the tenured matter involved Martha Luis.
Board members conducted both votes after convening and returning from closed session; the motions were taken in open session by roll-call per the agenda. The agenda language presented the actions as warning letters (remedial measures) rather than dismissals or suspensions.
No further details about the allegations, remedial conditions, or timelines for compliance were included on the public record during the meeting. The board did not provide additional factual summaries of the underlying charges at the time of the votes.
The board’s personnel items followed the meeting’s closed-session discussion under exceptions listed on the agenda; the items returned to open session for the formal roll-call actions.
