Dr. David Ballard told the committee the volleyball MOU includes classifications for assistant and head coaches. He said the difference from the flag football agreement is timing: the flag football MOU had to be processed quickly to get a girls program started, whereas the volleyball MOU would proceed through the full board review process and be brought forward for action at a future meeting.

Ballard said students had come to the podium earlier to request the opportunity to play volleyball; staff framed the MOU as a district-level agreement that must complete the board process before implementation. The committee did not vote on the MOU Sept. 2 and no effective date or pay-schedule details were provided in committee remarks.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Finance Committee Meeting 9 2 25","oneSentenceSummary","Staff presented a boys volleyball memorandum of understanding (MOU) Sept. 2 that mirrors an earlier flag football MOU; the committee was informed it will move through the full board process before final action.","taxTitle","Aurora East USD 131, School Boards, Illinois","taxId",74116,"location","Illinois","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6476719,"East Aurora High requests one bilingual and eight CTE overloads, committee told",32,229185,261325,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5717611-60347ef3377825d56afefa24078760e5&start=229&end=261","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5717611-60347ef3377825d56afefa24078760e5/thumbnail_229185.jpg","/articles/6476719/Illinois/East-Aurora-High-requests-one-bilingual-and-eight-CTE-overloads-committee-told","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6476719-c4a8458163f42da836dfb68f6161419b/orig.mp4?Expires=1776053192&Signature=ioVGRTBYXsGYfTLPrHObAdwYPeLBvLAy46TYlO2tSPoEmmaTr12V-Cadu57lkijDPNHrq49q9YgVDrSrWUKBgRpR6FIrPGQsw8hZ-TdLssmLjrAngj0ZCFuT1kHvLNU6YVmUpcwxK-lZAWenevlLKNkLPZX9NL2~lPaUwI9Jv4ldLQ4FH-5ZjYG1k0SQeWkX7ffkER4jUaY-AW2rm6sr8-FiXIgVKy95-gie8b4peYXEo5XE8Bd~~akFl0sYJY1W-swC6zlfjfTPsO0tAJtbjX~MQCUsuLbSAmvNyUm-xI0bUjVpNC9NZ7HFPVa5BUhNZMi23JsKPMIOfQJ~KAxNkw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The finance and personnel committee heard a staffing request Sept. 2 from district staff for East Aurora High School asking for one bilingual overload and eight career and technical education (CTE) overloads.

Ballard said counsel suggested adding a clause that would allow the district to consider mitigating factors, including whether a student is a parent or expectant parent or is a victim of domestic violence, when deciding whether an expelled student must complete the full term of the expulsion before being enrolled by the district. Ballard characterized the wording as a recommendation from the district attorney's office and framed it as alignment with recent legislation and legal updates.

Committee members did not take action on the policy at the Sept. 2 meeting; Ballard presented the language as an attorney-recommended revision that is part of the district's five-year policy review cycle. The committee packet listed multiple policies under review; Ballard said most changes were minor language or legal updates and identified the Policy 750 change as the substantive item for committee attention.

The committee did not vote on final language or adoption Sept. 2. Ballard did not provide a specific effective date for any amendment; next steps would be referral through the board governance process for consideration at a future meeting.","Legal counsel recommended adding language to Policy 750 to allow the district to consider mitigating factors, such as parental status or being a victim of domestic violence, when deciding whether an expelled student must complete the full term before enrollment, staff told the committee Sept. 2.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6476729,"Aurora East USD 131 to hold public hearing and take action on FY26 budget Sept. 15",48,77400,125995,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5717611-60347ef3377825d56afefa24078760e5&start=77&end=125","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5717611-60347ef3377825d56afefa24078760e5/thumbnail_77400.jpg","/articles/6476729/Illinois/Aurora-East-USD-131-to-hold-public-hearing-and-take-action-on-FY26-budget-Sept-15","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6476729-798572dd63990babd84064c899f3630d/orig.mp4?Expires=1776053192&Signature=O6pg0ylnEQz2udMMv9WA7tBRCNPmBWygQifzbzP5SZJj62vdfAOsNNrN-Wi0wa9zemXk6eODNaKNDyV-BY9pVt4sh~s2Qaw43It8T5cIjz47Iehwlkgnx0~ISPUaV5NCIYPvPYGS6betRTqAh7EXacEq-S6U9o4yd7-sTUtXctzIpR0XxCVLPiAftDvS35S5bwRz84nw6B8kHYQOCzqlKhtd4pXRZawZBmnuNSjMGx5dmsA6O8-gsan2oK1h-2~VP~yxoQ-YoRUF5GZ92jGY69JkeN5oEMaQdonVczRuHjkK3iXt0kyABxN-ckhwomyEBQND-QZv-w5DNzWZ~gNYuQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Staff told the Aurora East USD 131 finance and personnel committee on Sept. 2 that the district's full FY26 budget documents are posted and will be presented for action at the board meeting scheduled Sept. 15.
