ETHS board reorganizes, seats new student representative and approves personnel settlements
Summary
At the May 12 meeting District 202 canvassed election returns, administered the student‑member oath, elected officers for a one‑year term and approved settlement resolutions for two former employees and the routine consent agenda.
The Evanston Township High School District 202 Board of Education completed its canvass of election returns, seated a newly elected student representative and reorganized its leadership at the May 12 meeting.
The board read the student‑election returns for the seat that will serve from May 12, 2025 to May 2026: the returns as read indicated that the student member of the Board of Education is listed as "Ava Hanson" with alternate Annie Stolar. The board then administered the oath of office to the student member who presented at the meeting; at the oath the student was recorded using the name given on the oath form. (The board packet and the meeting transcript contain the returns as read and the oath administration; the official canvass minutes will remain the governing record for any name‑verification issues.)
Board members then canvassed the results of the regular April 2025 election and declared Mira Ante, John Martin, Pat Munsell and Pat Savage Williams duly elected to full terms, as recorded in the canvass resolution. Members unanimously approved nominations for board officers for one‑year terms: Pat Savage Williams as president, Monique Parsons as vice president and Dr. Peter Bay Davis as secretary; the board appointed Kendra Williams as school treasurer.
During the consent section the board approved two settlement resolutions: one resolving an employment matter with a former employee (identified in the packet as Lisa Davis) and another with an educational support personnel employee (identified in the packet as Joanne Burchi). Both settlement resolutions were approved by roll‑call votes recorded in the meeting minutes; the board did not discuss settlement terms during public session beyond the motions to approve.
The board also approved routine consent items including administrator and exempt‑staff salary increases for fiscal year 2025–26, contract and construction items tied to the ETHS arts and innovation wing expansion, a food‑service agreement with District 65, minutes (regular and closed) from April 7, the February 2025 treasurer’s report and personnel reports. All consent items were carried by roll call.
Board members offered public thanks and remarks to outgoing members and to the outgoing student representative; the board recessed briefly for a ceremonial reception before reconvening to finish reorganization business.
