River Forest SD 90 board votes to enter closed session on collective bargaining and litigation
Summary
On March 4, 2025, the River Forest SD 90 Board moved into closed session to discuss collective negotiating matters and potential litigation; the motion passed unanimously and the board returned to open session roughly 30 minutes later.
The River Forest SD 90 Board of Education voted to move into closed session at approximately 8:41 p.m. on March 4, 2025 to discuss collective bargaining and potential litigation. Dr. Kristine Mackey moved the motion and Ms. Stacey Williams seconded; the roll-call vote was recorded in favor with no nays.
The motion specified the reasons for a closed meeting as "collective negotiating matters between the public body and its employees or their representatives, or deliberations concerning salary schedules for one or more classes of employees; and litigation, when an action against, affecting or on behalf of the particular public body has been filed and is pending before a court or administrative tribunal, or when the public body finds that an action is probable or imminent, in which case the basis for the finding shall be recorded and entered into the minutes of the closed meeting." The board returned to open session at approximately 9:11 p.m. and adjourned with no further public action recorded.
The public record in the meeting transcript does not disclose details discussed in closed session, consistent with the board's use of executive meeting procedures.
