At a special Committee of the Whole meeting on Dec. 17, 2025, the River Forest School District 90 Board of Education voted to move into closed session to discuss personnel matters and related legal counsel issues. The motion to enter closed session was made by Mrs. Beth Vlerick and seconded by Mrs. Katie Bevan; on roll call the motion carried and the board moved into closed session at approximately 7:00 p.m.
The motion quoted the scope of matters to be discussed, stating the board would consider “the appointment, employment, compensation, discipline, performance, or dismissal of specific employees, specific individuals who serve as independent contractors in a park, recreational, or educational setting, or specific volunteers of the public body or legal counsel for the public body..., including hearing testimony on a complaint lodged against an employee...” The motion also noted that a meeting to consider increases in compensation is subject to the Local Government Wage Increase Transparency Act and therefore may not be closed in that instance.
Board members returned to open session at approximately 8:23 p.m., and the meeting record shows the same members were present at that time. The transcript does not record any formal votes or actions taken while the board was in closed session or further public-direction after the return to open session.
No next steps or public schedule for follow-up actions were specified in the record.
