Chair moves Proviso Twp HSD 209 committee into executive session to discuss litigation, personnel, negotiations and student matters

The chair of the Proviso Township High School District 209 Committee of the Whole asked for a motion on May 26, 2026 to retire into executive session to discuss litigation, the appointment or employment and performance of specific employees or contractors, collective bargaining and negotiations (including salary schedules) and matters relating to individual students under the Illinois Open Meetings Act.

The chair read the statutory bases for closing the meeting and requested a roll-call vote to enter executive session. The clerk conducted the vote; the roll-call responses recorded were aye from Miss Molinaro, Missus Dixon, Mister Ocampo, Miss Morris, Doctor Fisher, Miss Birmingham and Miss Smith. The clerk announced, "Motion carries," and then stated that the board was in executive session at 6:02 p.m.

The transcript records the motion to retire to executive session and a unanimous roll-call approval but does not record who formally moved or seconded the motion. The transcript also does not include any public discussion of the substantive matters listed for the executive session; those subjects were read on the record only as statutory exceptions that would permit a closed session under the Illinois Open Meetings Act (5 ILCS 120/2(c)).

No further public actions or votes were recorded in the transcript after the body entered executive session. The public portion of the meeting, as captured in the provided transcript, ends with the clerk's announcement that the committee was in executive session at 6:02 p.m.
