Proviso Twp HSD 209 board seeks executive session on litigation, personnel and bargaining
Summary
Board members asked for a motion to retire into executive session under Illinois Open Meetings Act provisions to discuss potential litigation, personnel matters and collective bargaining; the provided transcript does not record a vote on the motion.
Board members at Proviso Township High School District 209 sought a motion to retire into executive session to discuss pending litigation, the appointment or discipline of specific employees and collective bargaining matters, citing provisions of the Illinois Open Meetings Act.
Board member Missus Hixon, Board member Mister O'Connell, Board member Doctor Fisher, Board member Miss Barbaham and Board member Miss Smith were recorded as present during the roll call. The meeting transcript includes the phrase "Motion carried. And we have quorum." before a request for a motion to enter executive session was read.
An unidentified board member read the scope of the proposed executive session, citing the Illinois statute sections commonly referenced for closed meetings: 5 ILCS 120/2(c)(11) (litigation), 5 ILCS 120/2(c)(1) (personnel) and 5 ILCS 120/2(c)(2) (collective negotiating matters). The motion text in the transcript asked members to retire into executive session "for the purposes of litigation ... appointment, compensation, discipline, performance, or dismissal of specific employees ..." and for deliberations on collective bargaining and salary schedules.
The provided transcript does not include the motion vote or any outcome for the request to enter executive session, nor does it contain any substantive discussion about the underlying litigation, personnel issues or bargaining positions. Under Illinois law, matters discussed during an executive session are not part of the public record unless later disclosed in open session; the transcript excerpt supplied ends with the statutory citations and does not show whether the board voted to convene the closed session or any subsequent actions.
No dates, locations or additional background on the litigation, the personnel matters or the bargaining unit were included in the supplied transcript excerpt. Any formal actions, directions or decisions that may have resulted from an executive session are not recorded in the excerpt provided.
