Board introduces Brett Mustang as candidate for high school assistant principal

At its July 22 meeting, the Sycamore Community City board heard the introduction of Brett Mustang as a candidate for high school assistant principal and approved a personnel consent agenda that included personnel items presented under the superintendent's agenda.

A staff member leading the superintendent's agenda told the board the district had been "really excited to, finally, solidify the rest of our team" and introduced Mustang, saying the district was "lucky enough to... get Brett Mustang for high school assistant principal," and that a former assistant superintendent, Kelly Wagner, gave a strong reference. The staff member added that Mustang had experience as a math teacher at Lakota East and had started as a student teacher at Sycamore High School.

Mustang, who spoke after the introduction, thanked board members and said he was eager to join the district. "You win with people, and I've seen Sycamore has amazing people in it," he said, adding he was "really excited to be a part of the community in the district."

A motion to approve the personnel consent agenda was made and seconded and recorded affirmations of 'Aye' were heard from members (recorded as Roswell, Mister Bell and Doctor James in the transcript). The personnel consent agenda was approved as moved. The transcript does not separately record a roll-call vote specifically naming Mustang's appointment outside the consent agenda language; the board treated personnel items as part of the consent package.

The discussion was framed as a standard personnel introduction and endorsement by staff and board members; no objections or formal dissents appeared in the provided transcript lines. The board moved on to other routine business after the personnel vote.
