Jasper CCSD 17 board moves into closed session citing personnel exception
Summary
The Jasper School Board voted unanimously to enter executive session to discuss personnel matters, citing school board policy 2:220-E2 and Illinois statute 5 ILCS 120/2(a); the minutes record the board entering closed session and returning later the same evening.
President Josh Zurliene called a special meeting recorded as called to order at 5:30 p.m.; the minutes also include a dated line reading 'DATED: June 25, 2025' while the called-to-order line records July 25, 2025, an internal date discrepancy noted in the record.
According to the minutes, "A motion was made by Josh Zurliene and seconded by Shawn Otey to approve moving into executive closed session in accordance with school board policy 2:220-E2 items #1, the appointment, employment compensation, discipline, performance, or dismissal of specific employees of the District (5ILCS 120/2a)." The roll call shows each board member—Justin Atwood, Shawn Otey, Jarad Blanton, Beth Titzer, Caitlin Glisson, Josh Zurliene and Wesley Legg—voted yes on the motion, resulting in a unanimous decision to enter executive session.
The minutes record the board exiting executive session at 7:22 p.m.; a separate motion to end the closed session was made by Justin Atwood and seconded by Caitlin Glisson, with the same unanimous roll-call "yes" votes recorded. The document does not specify the personnel matters discussed during the closed session.
The minutes do not list further actions or public decisions taken as a result of the closed session. No public testimony or detailed deliberations are included in the record.
