Summary
The board entered closed session at 8:09 p.m. citing multiple exemptions under the Open Meetings Act (personnel, bargaining, property, student matters, litigation, security, etc.). The board reconvened at 9:38 p.m. and approved a personnel report by motion (7–0).
At 8:09 p.m. the Liberty CUSD 2 Board of Education voted to go into closed session. Motion by Mowen, seconded by Boualavong to go into closed session passed on a 7–0 roll-call vote. The board enumerated the statutory exemptions it intended to invoke under the Illinois Open Meetings Act, listing a broad set of topics (personnel matters, collective bargaining and salary schedules, purchase or lease of real property, setting a price for sale or lease of district property, sale or purchase of securities/investments, emergency security procedures, student disciplinary cases, special education placements and related individual student matters, pending/probable/imminent litigation, attorney evaluation, and approval of closed session minutes among other lawful subjects).
The board returned to open session at 9:38 p.m.; roll-call was unanimous. Immediately thereafter a motion by Mowen, seconded by Cecil to "approve the personnel report" carried 7–0. The public transcript records the board's motions and roll-call tallies but does not disclose the substance of closed-session deliberations or personnel details.
