Elmhurst SD 205 board enters closed session to consider personnel complaint
Summary
At a special meeting June 11, 2025, the Elmhurst School District 205 Board of Education voted 6-0, with one absence, to go into closed session under the Illinois Open Meetings Act to consider employee or legal-counsel personnel matters; the board said it would take no action after the closed session.
The Elmhurst School District 205 Board of Education voted 6-0, with one member absent, Wednesday to move into closed session to consider personnel matters and a complaint against an employee or legal counsel.
Miss Troutman, a member of the Elmhurst School District 205 Board of Education, moved that the board "move into closed session for the purposes of appointment, employment, compensation, discipline, performance, or dismissal of specific employees of the public body or legal counsel for the public body, including hearing testimony on a complaint lodged against an employee of the public body or against legal counsel for the public body to determine its validity," citing the Illinois Open Meetings Act, 5 ILCS 120/2(c)(1). Miss Hossler seconded the motion.
The board called the vote after roll was taken; the clerk recorded six members present and one absent. The motion carried 6-0, with one absence. The board announced it did not intend to reconvene in open session or take action after the closed session.
The special meeting was called to order at 6:30 p.m. and included an initial roll call; no public comments were received and the board moved immediately to the closed session motion. The transcript records the statutory citation in shorthand; the corrected citation is 5 ILCS 120/2(c)(1), the Illinois Open Meetings Act provision that permits closed sessions for specified personnel matters.
No additional details about the employee, complaint, or any subsequent action were provided in the public portion of the meeting record. The board terminated public proceedings and went into closed session at the end of the special meeting.
