Township HSD 211 board holds closed session to interview superintendent candidates, returns and adjourns

The presiding officer of the Township HSD 211 Board of Education called the meeting to order and, after a roll call and the Pledge of Allegiance, recommended the board enter a closed session to discuss the appointment, employment, compensation, discipline, performance or dismissal of specific employees and to interview candidates for the position of superintendent of schools.

Board members moved and seconded the recommendation to enter closed session; a roll call was taken. The transcript records members confirming their attendance, but does not include an explicit statement that the motion to enter closed session "carried" at that point. The record later shows the board returned to open session, indicating the closed session occurred.

After reconvening in open session, the board recorded a motion and second to return to open session. During the roll call on that motion, the following board members were recorded as voting "Aye" as read into the record: Miss Baron; Mister Bradley; Missus Cavill; Mister Dombrowski; Mister McGowan; Mister Rosenbloom; and Missus Klimkiewicz. The presiding officer then stated, "The motion carries."

The meeting concluded with the presiding officer declaring there was no other business and adjourning the meeting at 8:43.

No members of the public addressed the board during the public comment period, according to the transcript.

Because the closed session concerned personnel matters and superintendent interviews, the transcript contains limited public detail about the substantive content of that discussion; the board did not disclose any outcomes or candidate names in open session in the provided record.
