School Board President Apologizes For Open Meeting Act Violation
(Rantoul, IL) — Rantoul School Board President Bill Sweat is apologizing for a violation of the Open Meetings Act. Sweat issued the public apology at last night’s school board meeting. The Illinois Attorney General has ruled that the board broke the law after Sweat silenced Wendell Golston as he tried to speak during public comment at October’s meeting. Golston was cut off by Sweat while trying to talk about violence and the district’s disciplinary policy. Some board members say they knew nothing about the investigation or this week’s ruling until now.
