The Community Consolidated School District 46 Board of Education on April 23 approved two administrative hires, moved the consent agenda and adopted resolutions honoring two trustees who are leaving the board.
The board voted to approve Amber (last name as introduced by administration: Bogren) as director of Multilingual Services and Ryan Lazar as assistant principal of Frederick School. Both hires were introduced by district administration as pending board approval. The board also approved the consent agenda, which included a personnel addendum.
Separately, the board read and approved two formal resolutions recognizing the service of Jessica Albert (2021–2025) and Jason LaCroix (2017–2025). The resolutions were entered into the official minutes and copies were to be presented to each honoree; each honoree received a framed resolution and a plaque.
After a short adjournment for refreshments, the board administered the oath of office to new and returning members and completed a reorganization. Dr. Stephen Mack was nominated and approved as board president, Christie Braden as vice president and Tamika Nash as secretary (president pro tempore was appointed earlier in the reorganization process). The board then adopted meeting dates for the 2025–26 calendar and set the regular 6 p.m. start time.
