Summary

The board received its annual tax extension report (packet figures noted) showing near-complete tax collections and discussed scheduling; later the board voted to adjourn to closed session to consider personnel, negotiations and property matters.

At the May 19 meeting, Zion-Benton Twp HSD 126 administration presented the district’s annual tax-extension report and summarized levy and collection figures as included in the board packet, saying the district had received approximately 98% of expected tax receipts and anticipated a modest June distribution.

The presenter noted the levy ask included in the December packet and provided final extension figures submitted in March (figures printed in the packet were recited during the meeting; formatting in the transcript was not clear). The administration emphasized that the figures are part of the district's routine finance reporting.

Following routine finance and policy items, Mr. Bernz moved that the board adjourn to closed session "for consideration of appointment, compensation, discipline, performance or dismissal of specific employees; deliberations concerning salary schedules; negotiations; the purchase or lease of real property; and safety/security matters." The board completed a roll call and adjourned to closed session.

The public record from this meeting shows no additional public detail about the closed-session topics; any formal action taken in closed session will be recorded in subsequent open minutes or statements when permitted by law.
