Hazel Crest SD 152-5 Committee-of-the-Whole agenda includes suggested executive session on personnel

The Hazel Crest SD 152-5 Committee-of-the-Whole convened Monday, Oct. 21, 2024, at 5:00 p.m. Central at the Administrative Center, 1910 W. 170th Street in Hazel Crest. The printed agenda included a proposed motion for the Board of Education to move into executive session to consider personnel-related matters.

The agenda text states: "It is moved that the Board of Education go into executive session to consider the appointment, employment, compensation, discipline, performance, or dismissal of specific employees, specific individuals who serve as independent contractors in a park, recreational, or educational setting, or specific volunteers of the public body or legal counsel for the public body, including hearing testimony on a complaint lodged against an employee..." and cites 5 ILCS 120/2(c)(1). The agenda entry records the statutory basis for closing a portion of the meeting but does not record any vote or formal action taken within this transcript.

Presenter Jim Maciejewski (listed in the agenda as "JMA") is identified for the Pledge of Allegiance item earlier on the agenda. The meeting also lists a separate "Code of Conduct" item and a suggested motion to adjourn, but the printed agenda leaves the adjournment time blank and contains no further details about deliberations or outcomes in these segments.

Because this transcript captures the agenda items and not a recorded roll call or outcomes, the public record here shows only that the Board proposed an executive-session discussion on personnel matters; it does not show whether the Board entered executive session, what, if any, testimony was received, or whether any formal personnel actions were subsequently taken.
