Mattoon School Board affirms superintendent’s decision on grievance appeal

The Mattoon CUSD 2 School Board returned to open session at 9:14 p.m. and the board chair moved to affirm the superintendent’s decision in a uniform grievance appeal under Board Policy 2:260. "I'll make a motion to affirm the superintendent's decision," the chair said, and board member Jake Uphoff seconded the motion.

The chair asked for discussion and, after none was offered, called the roll. All members present voted in the affirmative and the motion to affirm the superintendent's decision was approved. The board then took a procedural motion to adjourn; that motion was made by board member Ashley Overton and seconded by Jake Uphoff, followed by a unanimous roll call and adjournment.

The vote resolved agenda item 11.1 with the board affirming the superintendent’s prior decision under the district’s uniform grievance procedure, Board Policy 2:260. No substantive debate or additional findings were recorded on the transcript. The meeting concluded shortly after the motions were approved.
