DECATUR â The Illinois Attorney General s Office says the Decatur school board failed to properly follow state open meetings rules on three occasions last year.
However, a closed-session vote to approve a proposed $30,000 bonus for Jeff Dase, assistant superintendent of teaching and learning, was not among those deemed a violation because the biding vote on the issue was held during the public portion of a later meeting.
WAND-TV on Oct 28 asked the office to review whether the board violated the state Open Meetings Act, which outlines how elected officials conduct business. The legislation has several exceptions, including whether a board is talking about worker compensation and performance.
