Summary
At a special meeting the Proviso Township High School District 209 board approved a personnel report and carried motions to reassign and dismiss several administrators and support staff, and approved a multi-year contract for the district's chief of athletics, activities and security.
At a special meeting the Proviso Township High School District 209 board moved through a series of personnel items and carried multiple motions affecting administrators and support staff.
The board approved the personnel report for March 27, 2026, covering hires, assignments, resignations and leaves. A roll call was taken and the motion carried.
Under Item 7a the board considered a resolution that the transcript records as reclassifying "Doctor Keisha Lyon" to a teacher position for the 2026-27 school year. The motion was moved, seconded, and the roll call in the record shows the motion carried. (The transcript uses alternate spellings for this staff member's last name; the speaker who addressed the board earlier self-identified as Dr. Keisha M.J. Lang.)
The board also moved to nominate and reassign Angela Moreno pursuant to statutory tenure rights to a teaching position for 2026-27; that motion passed by roll call.
A motion to dismiss Aaron Patterson from employment effective June 30, 2026 was introduced and, after roll call, the transcript records the motion as carrying.
The board approved a multi-year employment contract for Rodney Hall to serve as the district's chief of athletics, activities and security from July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2028; the transcript records an amended title during discussion and the motion carried by roll call.
The board considered a resolution to honorably dismiss educational support personnel—Valencia Stackhouse, Sarah Baron, Rob Daniels, Melanie Molina, Johnny Lucas and Marcia Chambers—effective June 30, 2026. Roll call recorded a mix of ayes and nays in the transcript.
Following these actions the board took a motion to adjourn; roll was called and the meeting adjourned at 7:09 p.m.
The transcript reflects some inconsistent spellings and garbled roll-call lines; official board minutes and the district's human-resources records should be consulted to confirm exact vote tallies, the spelled names of staff and the administrative rationale for individual personnel decisions.
