Lindop School Board cites Illinois statute in closed-session meeting on personnel and student matters
Summary
Minutes record that the board entered closed session at 6:06 p.m. under 5 ILCS 120/2 (c)(1), (4), (8), (9) and (10) to discuss personnel, security, student discipline and special-education placement matters; motion carried and the board reconvened at 7:28 p.m.
The Lindop School District 92 board moved into closed session at 6:06 p.m. on April 30, 2026, under the cited sections of the Illinois Open Meetings Act. The minutes state the motion was "to discuss: The appointment, employment compensation, discipline, or performance, of specific employees of the public body, evidence or testimony presented in open hearing, or in closed hearing where specifically authorized by law, security procedures, school building safety and security, student disciplinary cases, and the placement of individual students in special education programs and other matters relating to individual students." The motion was made by Mr. Dawson and seconded by President Patterson and was approved by the board as recorded in the minutes.
The board reconvened open session at 7:28 p.m. and subsequently took a personnel action in open session. The minutes do not provide substantive detail from the closed session on the record; Illinois law generally permits the board to discuss the listed matters in closed session, and minutes reflect only the invocation of those statutory exceptions rather than the content of deliberations.
