Mahomet-Seymour board votes to terminate family and engagement specialist after closed session
Summary
After a closed-session discussion March 3, the Mahomet‑Seymour CUSD 3 Board of Education approved termination of family and engagement specialist Suzanne Dills, citing unexcused absences, insubordination and falsified documents, the board said.
The Mahomet‑Seymour CUSD 3 Board of Education on March 3 approved the termination of a non‑certified support staff member, family and engagement specialist Suzanne Dills, following a closed‑session personnel discussion.
After returning to open session the board said it agreed with the superintendent’s recommendation to end Dills' employment. The board described the rationale for the action as “unexcused absences from work, insubordination, falsification of documents, and lying to the administration during disciplinary investigation.”
A motion to approve the termination was made and seconded in open session and passed by roll call. The board recorded the decision after a closed session authorized under the Open Meetings Act for the appointment, employment, compensation, discipline, performance or dismissal of specific employees.
John Bamneck addressed the board on item 7 prior to the closed session and said he was “here to observe if the district will act in accordance with employment law.” The transcript shows the board proceeded to a closed session to consider personnel matters and then returned to open session to take the termination vote.
The board did not provide additional details publicly about investigative materials, employment status changes beyond the termination or any severance terms during the open session.
