Proviso Township HSD 209 board moves into executive session to discuss litigation, personnel, bargaining and student matters
Summary
The Proviso Township High School District 209 Board of Education voted to enter executive session at 5:34 p.m. to discuss litigation, appointment/employment/compensation/discipline, collective bargaining and matters related to individual students under cited sections of the Illinois Open Meetings Act.
At 5:34 p.m., the Proviso Township High School District 209 Board of Education voted to retire into executive session to discuss litigation, personnel, collective bargaining and matters related to individual students.
The board moved to executive session "for the purpose of a litigation" and cited statutory exemptions in the Illinois Open Meetings Act. The motion listed litigation (citing a section identified in the meeting as 5 ILCS 120/2(c)(11)), appointment/employment/compensation/discipline (identified as section 2(c)(1) in the meeting), collective negotiating matters (identified as 2(c)(2) in the meeting) and matters related to individual students (identified as 2(c)(10)). The transcript records the presiding speaker saying, "I'd like to retire to executive session." That speaker was not identified by name in the transcript excerpt.
During roll call before the motion, several members were recorded as present or absent. The final roll-call vote on the motion, as reflected in the transcript, recorded the following responses: Mister O'Connell — "Aye"; Miss Grant — "Aye"; Mister Gutierrez — "Aye"; Miss Bartlett — "Aye." Mister Alexander and Miss Patterson were recorded as absent. The transcript does not identify who moved or seconded the motion; it records only, "So moved. Do we have a second?" The motion was announced as carried, and the presiding person stated, "We are in executive session 05:34PM." The transcript does not include further public discussion or any formal action taken in executive session.
The meeting cited the Illinois Open Meetings Act exemptions by section number as the basis for closing the session; the transcript does not record any additional public details about the matters to be discussed or any expected return-to-open-session time or agenda items to follow.
No dates beyond the recorded time, no documents, and no substantive descriptions of the litigation, personnel matters, bargaining positions or student matters were provided in the excerpted transcript.
