Summit SD 104 board enters closed session on personnel, bargaining and property

The Board of Education District No. 104 met in a special session at Walsh Elementary School on Tuesday, Jan. 13, 2026. The board "was called to order by President Green at 6:35 P.M.," minutes show, and a roll call recorded Members Hernandez, Cahue, Rangel, Luleta Dardovski, Johnstone and D William Green present; Member Davis was listed as absent.

Minutes state that "It was moved by Member Green, seconded by Member Dardovski, to enter closed session" under three Illinois statutory provisions: 5 ILCS 120/2(c)(1) for employee matters, 5 ILCS 120/2(c)(2) for collective-negotiating matters and salary schedules, and 5 ILCS 120/2(c)(5) for the purchase or lease of real property. That motion was recorded as Motion #21,687 at 6:35 P.M.; a roll call recorded unanimous support (yeas: Hernandez, Cahue, Rangel, Dardovski, Johnstone, Green; nays: none; abstain: none).

The minutes show the board exited closed session on a subsequent motion (Motion #21,688) moved by Member Dardovski and seconded by Member Green at 6:50 P.M.; the roll call again recorded unanimous yeas. The meeting concluded when Member Rangel moved to adjourn, seconded by Member Dardovski (Motion #21,689), and the board adjourned at 6:56 P.M. The minutes are signed by President D William Green and Secretary Luleta Dardovski.

The record supplied in the minutes does not disclose any substantive actions taken during closed session. The public minutes therefore reflect only the board's procedural motions, statutory grounds for closed session and the unanimous roll-call votes on each procedural motion.
