Board approves international trips, personnel resolutions and consent items
Summary
The Evanston Township High School District 202 Board of Education on March 10 approved five international student trips for 2025–26, a Holocaust remembrance proclamation and a set of personnel and routine business resolutions and reports by unanimous roll calls.
Evanston Township High School District 202’s Board of Education on March 10 approved international student travel for the 2025–26 year, a Holocaust remembrance proclamation, several personnel nonrenewal notices and routine business items, all by roll call votes.
The actions were taken near the end of the meeting during a single consent-style group of motions. Board members moved and seconded each item and the chair called for roll call votes. Each named item below was put to a vote and recorded as approved by the board.
Why it matters: The approvals affect student opportunities (international travel), personnel status for part-time and non‑tenured teachers, and carry out routine district business such as construction procurement and minutes and finance approvals.
Summary of formal actions - Approval of international travel for 2025–26 (five trips: Namibia; Japan; Germany; France; China/Shanghai). Motion moved and seconded; roll call recorded as yes and the motion passed. - Approval of proclamation designating March 17–21, 2025 as Holocaust Remembrance Days at Evanston Township High School. The proclamation was read into the record and approved by roll call. - Approval of resolution authorizing nonrenewal notices for part‑time teachers. Motion moved and seconded; approved by roll call. - Approval of resolution authorizing notice of nonrenewal for non‑tenured teachers (other than final‑year probationary teachers). Motion moved and seconded; approved by roll call. - Approval to rehire second‑, third‑ and fourth‑year teachers for the 2025–26 school year. Motion moved and seconded; approved by roll call. - Approval of the consent agenda, which included approval of an asbestos abatement/removal project (2025), masonry joint sealants/scaffolding/steel work, IHSA 2025–26 membership, approval of minutes (02/10/2025 regular and closed session; 02/18/2025 special meeting), the December 2024 treasurer’s report, approval of bills and the personnel report. Motion moved and seconded; approved by roll call.
What the board recorded and what remains unspecified: The meeting transcript records that motions were moved and seconded and that roll‑call votes were taken with affirmative votes called; the transcript does not specify the names of the individual movers and seconders for every motion, nor does it publish a numeric roll‑call tally in the transcript excerpt. Where specific ordinance or statute citations would apply to personnel notices, the board read and acted on resolutions but the meeting record supplied does not include statutory citations.
Next steps: Several informational items presented earlier in the meeting — including the district calendar, curriculum/textbook proposals and third‑quarter data dashboard updates — will return as action items at subsequent meetings where specified (for example, the textbook adoption was listed as an information item and will be an action item at the next board meeting).
