Member Kimberly Chalmers moved the Hazel Crest SD 152-5 Committee of the Whole into closed executive session at the May 19, 2025 meeting to consider personnel matters under Illinois statute 5 ILCS 120/2(c)(1) — specifically "the appointment, employment, compensation, discipline, performance, or dismissal of specific employees." The motion was recorded in the meeting minutes and cited the statutory authority for closing the session.
On a roll-call vote at 5:27 p.m., the motion carried. The minutes list the ayes as Kimberly Chalmers, Ivory Myles, Heldia Richardson and Dean Barnett; absent were Taneshia Armstrong, Frances Pollard and LaKeya Webb. No members voted nay.
