After closed session Shirland board approves Pep Club advisor hire and teacher transfer
Summary
Following an executive session on personnel matters, the board approved hiring Lindsey Minkie as Pep Club Advisor for 2025–2026 and transferring Heather Dobnick to a multiage co-teacher role, both by unanimous roll-call votes on March 19, 2025.
The Shirland School District No. 134 board entered closed session at 6:20 p.m. on March 19, 2025 to discuss minutes and personnel matters under the Open Meetings Act (5 ILCS 120/2(c)(21) and 5 ILCS 120/2(c)(1)), then reconvened at 6:32 p.m. After the executive session the board approved two personnel actions: approving Lindsey Minkie as Pep Club Advisor for the 2025–2026 school year (motion by Mrs. Stromberg, second by Mr. Bartlett) and approving the transfer of Heather Dobnick from 3rd/4th classroom teacher to multiage co-teacher for 2025–2026 (motion by Mrs. Rhyner, second by Mr. Bartlett); both motions passed on roll-call votes recorded as all ayes.
The minutes record the personnel decisions but do not include employment contracts, salary details, or performance summaries. The district cited the statutory bases for the closed-session discussion in the minutes; detailed personnel records and contracts are not part of the public minutes and would be handled according to district policy and state law.
