Shirland School District No. 134 board enters executive session to discuss superintendent, personnel
Summary
At a special Oct. 18 meeting, the Shirland School District No. 134 Board of Education entered executive session to review previously closed minutes and discuss personnel, including the superintendent position and the Business Manager role; reconvened sessions were scheduled for Nov. 19 and Nov. 22, 2024.
President Stout called the Shirland School District No. 134 special Board of Education meeting to order at 2:15 p.m. in Stout Hall on Oct. 18, 2024. The board recorded roll call showing Stout, Hall, Prosser, Bartlett, Stromberg, Gunnink and Rhyner present, and observed the Pledge of Allegiance later in the meeting.
Mrs. Stromberg moved, and Mrs. Gunnink seconded, a motion to open executive session at 2:30 p.m. The motion cited the Open Meetings Act provisions for review of closed minutes (5 ILCS 120/2(c)(21)) and for personnel matters, including appointment and dismissal of specific employees (5 ILCS 120/2(c)(1)). The minutes record that the motion was made; a vote tally is not specified in the available minutes.
The minutes show that the executive session included discussion of a potential change in the superintendent position and discussion about the Business Manager position; the record notes discussion was held but does not record any formal personnel action, appointment, or dismissal in the published minutes. The board later recorded motions to reconvene continued executive sessions on Nov. 19 and Nov. 22, 2024 to continue those matters.
The district listed the relevant statutory citations on the record when moving into executive session. The minutes do not provide vote tallies or identify any final personnel outcomes; the transcript indicates only that discussion occurred and that further executive sessions were scheduled.
