Board votes to send complaint materials to private third‑party investigator
Summary
Following an executive session, the Union School District 5 board approved a motion to turn key components of a complaint over to a private third‑party investigator and to evaluate the investigator’s report when received.
After returning from an executive session, the board approved a motion to transfer key components of an ongoing complaint to a private third‑party investigator. A board member moved “that we turn over the key components to a private 3rd party investigator,” and the motion was seconded; the board approved the motion by roll call.
Chair opened the public portion of the meeting by asking whether any formal action resulted from the executive session. A board member described the motion’s intent as obtaining an independent investigation and then reviewing the resulting report to determine any further action. The chair confirmed the motion was carried after a roll‑call tally.
The decision does not itself adopt specific sanctions or corrective steps; instead, the board will evaluate the investigator’s written report and take any further action at a later meeting. The board’s approval defines the next procedural step in handling the complaint and signals a preference for an external, independent review rather than concluding the matter internally.
