District 207 board will pay superintendent’s full health‑insurance premiums through remainder of contract
Summary
The Maine Township High School District 207 Board of Education voted unanimously to pick up and pay the full premium cost of health insurance for Superintendent Tatiana Bumina through the remainder of her contract; the meeting record did not specify dollar amounts or funding source.
The Maine Township High School District 207 Board of Education voted unanimously at its meeting to recognize Superintendent Tatiana Bumina’s performance and authorize the district to pick up and pay the full premium cost of her health‑insurance coverage, including single and any qualifying dependent plans, through the remainder of her contract. Board President moved the measure and an unidentified board member seconded it. "May I have a motion to recognize the superintendent's exceptional performance and authorize that the board of education pick up and pay the full premium cost of health insurance benefit including single and or any qualifying dependent coverage through the remainder of the superintendent Tatiana Bumina's contract?" the Board President said when offering the motion.
The motion passed on a roll call of members present. The meeting record shows the following board members recorded as voting “aye”: Collins; Coyle; Iger; Lee; Owen; Kantress; and a member recorded as Youssef (surname varied in the transcript). The board secretary announced the motion carried by unanimous consent.
Nut graf: The vote extends a board‑paid health‑benefit premium to the superintendent for the remaining term of her contract. The meeting transcript does not specify the remaining contract length, the premium dollar amounts, or which budget line or fund will cover the cost.
Board business that followed included approval of the minutes for the regular meeting of April 7, 2025, and a special board meeting of April 21, 2025, approval of closed‑session minutes for those same dates, and an official canvas of April election results; those routine items were approved by roll call during the same meeting session.
The board did not discuss or announce a funding source for the added premium cost in the transcripted portion of the meeting nor did the record contain a separate motion to amend the budget. The action was presented and decided as a single motion to recognize the superintendent’s performance and to authorize payment of the premiums.
No statute, ordinance, or district policy was cited on the record in connection with the benefit change, and the meeting transcript contains no public comment on this item. The transcript likewise does not show any dissenting votes or requests for fiscal analysis before the vote.
Ending: The meeting moved on after the vote to administrative items and a recognition segment honoring outgoing board members. The transcript does not record subsequent follow‑up steps, such as directive to staff to provide cost estimates or an amendment to the district budget; if the board directs staff to provide those details later, that was not captured in the provided transcript.
