Board approves financial, personnel and committee reports; two members record no votes on item 13a

East St Louis SD 189 board members on May 20 approved a package of routine business items in a single omnibus motion, including external audit matters, the March financial report, personnel reports and addenda, builders and grounds items (including a waiver of facility-use fees), curriculum committee reports and finance committee addenda.

Board members were offered the chance to separate items for individual discussion but elected to proceed with a single roll-call vote. The clerk called roll following a motion by Remi and a second by Walter Hood. The vote record captured in the meeting transcript shows the motion passed with a majority; Danielle Moore and Latoya Moseley recorded "no" votes on agenda item 13a while other members voted in favor as recorded.

The omnibus motion as read covered: an external audit of East St Louis SD 189 accounts and related vocational education and joint-agreement accounts; placement of seven students in alternative settings (see separate article); March financial report; personnel report with addendums and contracts; builders and grounds report including a waiver of facilities fees; curriculum committee report and addendum; and the finance committee report and addendum.

Minutes show the board president asked whether any board member wished to discuss an item before the roll call; a board member suggested items could be voted individually, but the group proceeded with the omnibus vote. The transcript does not record detailed debate on the individual reports; the clerk proceeded directly to roll call and recorded the outcome.

The motion maker and second were captured in the transcript; the record does not provide a written motion text beyond the clerk's recitation of included agenda items. The board did not attach specific dollar amounts, proposed contract terms, or contingency language to the items in the portion of the transcript provided.
