Jacksonville SD 117 board enters closed session for personnel, negotiations, student discipline and litigation
Summary
On Nov. 20 the board voted unanimously to enter a closed session citing multiple Illinois Open Meetings Act exemptions; the public record states only the statutory reasons and records no outcomes from the closed session in the committee minutes.
The board voted unanimously on a motion by Mr. Lonergan, seconded by Mrs. Wilson, to adjourn to closed session under the Illinois Open Meetings Act exemptions for: the appointment, employment or dismissal of specific employees (5 ILCS 120/2(c)(1)), collective negotiating matters and salary schedules (5 ILCS 120/2(c)(2)), student disciplinary cases (5 ILCS 120/2(c)(9)), and litigation that is pending or probable (5 ILCS 120/2(c)(11)). The motion passed with all six trustees recorded as voting yea.
The transcript records the statutory reasons used to justify the closed session but does not disclose the contents or any outcomes of the closed session; upon returning the board reconvened in open session and subsequently adjourned. The public minutes do not list any formal decisions or personnel actions taken in closed session in the recorded portion of this committee meeting.
