Lockport SD 91 board enters closed session to consider personnel matters
Summary
At a special April 15 meeting, Lockport School District 91's board voted unanimously to enter closed session to consider appointment, employment and related personnel matters under 5 ILCS 120/2(c)(1). The board resumed open session about two hours later and adjourned shortly after.
At its special meeting on April 15, 2025, the Lockport School District 91 Board of Education voted to enter a closed session to discuss personnel-related matters. "Motion made by Oxley-Turner to enter a closed session, seconded by Gallagher," the transcript records; the roll call vote showed Ayes from Fracaro, Arvidson, Gallagher, Garrett, Cutforth, Oxley-Turner and Rodriguez. The board entered closed session at 6:27 p.m.
The procedural motion and the stated statutory basis were included in the record. The board cited the exception under the Illinois Open Meetings Act (5 ILCS 120/2(c)(1)) covering "the appointment, employment, compensation, discipline, performance, or dismissal of specific employees of the District or legal counsel for the District," and acknowledged the Local Government Wage Increase Transparency Act’s limits on closing meetings for certain compensation discussions. Board President Laura Garrett presided over the meeting; Superintendent Dr. Wilkey was listed as in attendance.
The motion to enter closed session was moved by Oxley-Turner and seconded by Gallagher and carried by unanimous roll call. The transcript does not record the substance of the closed session deliberations in open session. The board later moved to reconvene the regular meeting at 8:27 p.m., and the meeting adjourned at 8:28 p.m.
