The Elmhurst School District 205 Board of Education voted to enter closed session Nov. 5 to discuss the placement of individual students in special-education programs.
Trustee Missus Assif moved to enter closed session under the Illinois Open Meetings Act, 5 ILCS 120/2(c)(10), and Trustee Missus Trautman seconded. The board conducted a roll call; the transcript records affirmative votes from Missus Assif, Missus Trautman, Doctor Henry, Mister Bresnahan, Missus Hossler and Missus Lewinsky. The chair announced "6 ayes, 0 nays, 1 absent" and said the board would move into closed session.
The board reconvened in open session at about 5:57 p.m., at which point it proceeded with the remainder of its agenda. The meeting record shows no substantive public discussion of the matters discussed in closed session; the school district cited the statutory exception that allows the board to consider individual-student placement in private session.
The board then moved to consider an open-session action on student residency. The meeting concluded with a brief announcement of upcoming meetings and an adjournment at 5:59 p.m.
