Summary
At its regular meeting, the Flossmoor SD 161 Board of Education approved April bills totaling $2,117,297.48, approved STEAM lab upgrades at two elementary schools, authorized an expulsion agreement and adopted multiple reemployment/tenure resolutions and a policy-resolution labeled “vision 02/1930.”
The Flossmoor SD 161 Board of Education voted to approve routine financial and personnel items and to adopt several staffing resolutions at its regular meeting.
The board approved bills for the month of April totaling $2,117,297.48. It also approved STEAM lab updates at Heather Hill and Serena Hills at a combined cost of $99,872 and authorized an expulsion advance agreement for student 2025D-7. The board adopted a series of resolutions to reemploy probationary teachers at first, second, third and fourth-year marks and to grant tenure to teachers who completed multi-year probationary periods and satisfied evaluation requirements. The board also approved a resolution supporting the “vision 02/1930 education improvement policy.”
Those items were acted on as discrete motions during the action-items portion of the agenda. The consent agenda — which the board approved at the start of the meeting by roll call — included the personnel report (25-019), payroll for March, FOIA requests, board and executive session minutes, the 2025-26 Parker Junior High School course catalog, revised policy 7-60, an intergovernmental agreement with Lincoln Way area special education for non-member services, and the removal of excess special education equipment.
Motions to approve the bills, STEAM lab work, the expulsion agreement and each of the reemployment/tenure resolutions were moved and seconded during the meeting and passed by voice/roll-call votes. No dissenting votes were recorded in the meeting transcript; motions were announced as passing each time.
The STEAM lab update authorizations name Heather Hill and Serena Hills as the project sites. The expulsion authorization was recorded as an "expulsion advance agreement for student 2025D-7"; no further disciplinary details were provided in open session.
Board members and staff stated that the district will continue routine follow-up on personnel and finance items; specific implementation steps or future reporting dates were not specified on the record.
