Board member urges colleagues to submit resolutions to IASB; Gilmore identified as likely district contact
Summary
During new business, a board member circulated information from the Illinois Association of School Boards and discussed the process and deadlines for submitting resolutions to the IASB; Superintendent Gilmore was named as the likely point of contact to coordinate submissions.
A board member identified as Leal Wolf relayed the April report from the Illinois Association of School Boards at the April 7 meeting and encouraged colleagues to use IASB resources. Leal Wolf described resources available to new and current board members and noted the IASB’s upcoming annual conference and publications.
When a board member asked about the district’s process for submitting resolutions to the IASB and who would be the delegate to vote on resolutions at the joint annual conference, members discussed timing and process. The board established that a resolution may be submitted at any time during the year and would go to the IASB review committee before it could be placed on the conference agenda for a vote. The transcript records a board member suggesting Superintendent Gilmore (referred to elsewhere in the meeting as Mr. Gilmore) as the district point of contact to handle deadlines and submissions; Gilmore agreed to look up the specific deadline and report back.
No formal motion or vote was recorded on the transcript for this discussion; it was presented as informational new business and a planning direction for board members who may want to propose resolutions to the IASB.
