The Harlem Unit School District 122 board on April 27 approved routine bills and payroll totaling $4,275,706.14 and adopted a resolution declaring surplus property at Marquette, Maple and Wilson Park elementary schools before voting to move into executive session on personnel.

Josh Sherann, the district's business operations representative, presented the financial report, saying, "The total payables this period were $712,337.23. There was 1 payroll this period in the amount of $3,563,368.91 for a total expenditure of $4,275,706.14."

On the surplus-property item, the district recommended declaring older classroom readers and other library materials surplus as it prepares to close two buildings and make room for newer materials. The business operations office said some items would be reallocated to classroom libraries and other uses; items dating from the 1970s and 1980s were identified for disposal or repurposing.

After routine business and announcements, a motion was made, seconded and approved to move into executive session to discuss employment/personnel under 5 ILCS 120/2(c)(1). The roll call recorded affirmative votes and the board left public session for the closed meeting.

The board did not take any additional public actions after entering executive session; next procedural steps were not announced publicly at the meeting's close.
