Hinsdale board directs attorney to file counterclaim, orders president to produce documents in RS Robin Schwartz matter

At the April 6 meeting the Hinsdale Township High School District 86 board moved to direct outside counsel to file a counterclaim in the RS Robin Schwartz litigation and to require Board President Greenstein to produce related documents and sign interrogatories.

Board member Satchel moved the action and member Waters seconded; the motion passed on roll call, 7‑0. The item appeared after discussion of litigation exceptions and followed earlier adjournment to closed session under 5 ILCS 122 C11 (litigation exceptions). The public transcript records the board’s direction to counsel and the president but does not include details of the underlying claims or the contents of the filings.

Why it matters: the board authorized active litigation steps on the public record and directed production of documents and signature of interrogatories by the board president. The transcript shows unanimous board support for the measure.

Next steps: the board directed attorney Grasso to file the counterclaim and President Greenstein to produce documents as authorized; the public record does not include the filings themselves.
