St. Charles board enters closed session to consider staff suspension, resumes later
Summary
Trustees unanimously voted to move into a closed session at 6:04 p.m. to consider the dismissal, suspension or discipline of a staff member; the board reconvened in open session at 6:51 p.m. No details of the personnel matter were released.
The St. Charles Community Schools Board of Trustees moved into a closed session on Dec. 1, 2025, to consider "the dismissal, suspension, or discipline of a staff member." The motion to go into closed session was made by Trustee Joseph McNaughton and seconded by Trustee Mike Goschka; the roll-call vote recorded seven Aye votes and no Nays. The board entered the closed session at 6:04 p.m. and later returned to open session at 6:51 p.m.
Board minutes and standard practice for personnel matters show that closed sessions are permitted under state law for certain employee discipline or dismissal discussions; the minutes do not record further details of the matter discussed. Trustee James McPhail moved to resume open session and Trustee Joseph McNaughton seconded that motion, which carried by roll call. The minutes list no public comments related to the personnel item.
Because the discussion took place in closed session, the minutes appropriately record only the motion, vote and the stated subject (dismissal/suspension/discipline) without additional substantive disclosure. The meeting proceeded to other business after the session and adjourned at 8:02 p.m.
