The Thursday night meeting of the McHenry County College Board had some fireworks.

The biggest was the Board’s failure to extend College President Vicky Smith’s contract for another year.

The vote was a 3-3 tie and, under Robert’s Rules of Order, ties fail.

Linda Liddell, Cynthia Kisser and Molly Walsh voted in favor, while Ron Parrish, Tom Wilbeck and Chris Jenner voted “No.”  Student Trustee Justin Peters also voted in favor, but his is only an advisory vote.

Board member Mary Miller did not attend the  meeting.

Today, an agenda has appeared for a meeting to take another vote next Wednesday night.  You can see the agenda below:

The story posted yesterday on the contents of the proposed contract has garnered more than the usual number of comments (38 so far).
