The St. Charles school board might have broken the law two years ago when it silently extended Superintendent Barbara Erwin's contract without a public vote.
A board consensus approved the five-year extension behind closed doors in the spring of 2005, current and former board members said.
While the decision didn't equate to a salary raise for Erwin, it did clear the way for additional sick days and time served toward her pension in Illinois, records show.
The revelation came about recently when outgoing school board President Bobbie Raehl sent a Freedom of Information Act request to the district asking for documentation of a public vote on the matter and no such document could be found.
