Township HSD 211 board votes to enter closed session to interview superintendent candidates

The Township HSD 211 Board of Education voted unanimously to enter a closed session to interview candidates for the district superintendent and later voted to return to open session before adjourning.

An unidentified presiding officer introduced the motion during the public meeting, stating: "And that is that the board enter closed session to discuss appointment, employment, compensation, discipline, performance, or dismissal of specific employees, and interview candidates for the position of superintendent of schools." A motion and a second followed.

The board then conducted a roll call vote on the motion. The roll call recorded the following votes in favor: Miss Barron, Mister Bradley, Miss Cappell, Mister Dombrowski, Mister McGowan, Mister Rosenblum and Missus Klimkiewicz. After the votes the presiding officer said, "The motion carries."

After the closed-session business concluded, the presiding officer announced "The recommended action is that the Board of Education return to open session." The board moved, seconded and again approved the motion by roll call, with the same members recorded as voting "Aye."

There were no members of the public who spoke during the public comment period; the presiding officer noted "There are no one in the audience today, so we will move on to the next recommended action." With no further business to come before the board, the presiding officer declared the meeting adjourned.

The transcript does not specify which candidates were interviewed, any outcomes from interviews, or any subsequent personnel actions; those details were not stated on the public record in the provided transcript.
