Board approves Erin Durborow as Principal/Supervisor of Technology after reconsideration vote
Summary
After a series of motions and roll-call votes including a failed approval and a successful reconsideration, the Alexandria Township Board of Education approved Erin Durborow as Principal/Supervisor of Technology effective July 1, 2026. Final approval passed 5–3 with one absence.
The Alexandria Township Board of Education voted to approve Erin Durborow as Principal/Supervisor of Technology, with an effective date of July 1, 2026, following a sequence of procedural motions and roll-call votes during its April 23 meeting.
Board members initially placed the employment item on the consent agenda but removed it for separate consideration. The board voted to amend the employment item and then voted on the amended appointment; that first approval vote resulted in a 4–4 tie (one member absent), which failed. Board member C. Sutter then moved to reconsider the vote; the motion to reconsider passed 7–1. After reconsideration, the board approved the amended appointment of Durborow on a 5–3 roll-call vote (one member absent). The minutes list the motion to approve the final amended item as made by C. Sutter and seconded by D. Walker.
The minutes note an earlier motion that described a revised employment contract for Durborow at a current salary of $124,343 effective April 23, 2026; that motion was later amended to set the start date to July 1, 2026. The record shows multiple procedural steps (amend, fail, reconsider, approve) before final confirmation.
The decision followed public input earlier in the meeting in which a speaker, Ms. Flynn, spoke in favor of approving Durborow. The board did not record further public testimony on the appointment in open session. The board returned to executive session later in the evening to continue discussion of personnel matters; the minutes indicate executive sessions occurred at 8:14–8:28 PM and again beginning at 9:01 PM with the meeting returning to open session at 9:43 PM.
The board's minutes show the final approval vote for the amended appointment as Yes – 5, No – 3, Absent – 1. No additional employment contract text beyond the salary and effective date was recorded in the open-session minutes.
Next steps: the board's minutes do not record an implementation timeline beyond the July 1, 2026 effective date for the appointment.
