Summary

At its March 4 meeting the Decatur SD 61 Board of Education approved consent items, personnel actions and an intergovernmental agreement with the Decatur Park District on Oak Grove Park by 4–0 (three members absent). A proposed on-site solar PV contract with Straight Up Solar was pulled for further contract review.

The Decatur Public School District 61 Board of Education approved multiple routine actions in a 4–0 roll-call vote at its March 4 meeting; three members were absent.

The board approved the consent agenda, which included a Freedom of Information report, by a roll-call vote recorded as Doctor Collins: Aye; Mr. Scheider: Aye; Mr. Dionne: Aye; Mr. Reynolds: Aye (4 ayes, 0 nays, 3 absent). The board then approved personnel action items listed in the human resources memo from Monica Wilkes by the same roll-call tally.

The board also approved an intergovernmental agreement between Decatur Public School District 61 and the Decatur Park District regarding Oak Grove Park, again by roll call with the same 4–0 result.

Separately, the proposed contract between Decatur Public School District 61 and Straight Up Solar for an on-site solar photovoltaic (PV) power agreement was pulled from the March 4 open-session agenda so administrators and the proposed provider could finish reviewing contract terms. Administrators said they plan to bring the item back for consideration at the March 18 board meeting.

Earlier in the meeting the board approved the open-session meeting agenda for March 4 by voice vote; no formal roll call was recorded for that motion. The meeting recorded four members voting in favor of the listed roll-call items and noted three members absent.
