Hinsdale Township HSD 86 HR Committee moves into closed session on personnel matters

Chairwoman Mehta called to order the HR Committee meeting of the Board of Education of Hinsdale Township High School District 86 at 7:30 a.m. on May 5, 2026 and asked Clerk Deb to call the roll.

After the roll call and a recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance, the committee approved the minutes of its April 15, 2026 meeting. The motion to approve the minutes was seconded by Member Actress; Clerk Deb recorded votes of “Aye” from Members Mehta, Actress and Greenspan, and the minutes were adopted.

Shortly after, Chairwoman Mehta moved that the committee adjourn to closed session under 5 ILCS 122 C1 and C2 to discuss matters related to appointment, employment, compensation, discipline, performance or dismissal of specific employees and collective negotiating matters, citing the statutory exceptions that allow such sessions. The motion included an explicit reading of the statutory language and a reminder that an increase in compensation subject to the Local Government Wage Increase Transparency Act must be discussed in public.

Clerk Deb called the roll on the motion to enter closed session; Members Akrish, Mehta and Greenspan each voted “Aye,” and the committee recessed to closed session at 7:32 a.m. The transcript records that Member Actress told the chair she needed to leave by 8:30 a.m.; the chair said the committee would try to accommodate that timing.

The public portion of the meeting was later adjourned at 8:09 a.m. with no further public discussion recorded in the transcript. No formal action on specific personnel or bargaining outcomes is recorded in the public portion of the transcript.
