Committee meeting roundup: action items and closed‑session vote
Summary
Committee meetings produced several items to be placed on upcoming full‑board agendas and a formal roll‑call vote to enter closed session was approved unanimously.
Committee meetings for Community High School District 128 resulted in multiple staff recommendations to be placed on upcoming full Board agendas and a unanimous roll‑call vote to enter a closed session for contract‑negotiation matters.
Staff recommended that the Board consider the Digital Citizenship implementation plan, the ISBE discipline improvement plan, the ESP staffing report (consent agenda), textbook adoptions and the driver‑education simulator waiver at forthcoming meetings. Administrators asked the Board to set a budget‑hearing date; staff recommended June 9 for the FY25‑26 budget hearing and noted the district must publish public notice at least 30 days before the hearing.
The only formal committee‑meeting roll‑call vote recorded in the transcript was the Board’s vote to enter closed session for contract negotiation matters under the Open Meetings Act (5 ILCS 120/2(c)(2)). Don Carmichael moved and Cara Drumke seconded the motion. The roll call recorded the following votes: Cara Benjamin — Aye; Don Carmichael — Aye; Cara Drumke — Aye; Lisa Hessel — Aye; Middelish Kotwal — Aye; Sonal Kulkarni — Aye; Jim Batson — Aye. The motion carried unanimously.
Other administrative items noted for future full‑board action included: placement of employment and certified staffing items on consent agendas, scheduling a public hearing for the driver‑education waiver, and staff work to prepare the discipline improvement plan for board approval and ISBE submission.
