Board approves consent agenda; later approves personnel recommendations 6–1
Summary
The Board approved a multi‑item consent agenda during the Feb. 20 meeting and, after closed session, voted to approve personnel recommendations (new hires, resignations, leaves and summer‑school hires) in a roll-call vote that passed 6–1.
At the Feb. 20 meeting the Board of Education approved a package of consent items and later, after reconvening from closed session, approved personnel recommendations.
The consent agenda approved earlier in the meeting covered multiple routine items listed in the packet: approval of open and closed minutes from Jan. 23 and Feb. 6, destruction of certain closed‑session audio tapes, approval of the district’s discipline improvement plan for the Illinois State Board of Education, a contract extension for special-education transportation with First Aid Students at a 3.5 percent increase (estimated annual cost $56,865), authorization to purchase a campus safety camera system from Midwest Integrated Solutions (approximately $175,610), acceptance of December 2024 treasury and financial reports, and approval of January‑February 2025 check disbursements and the March 2025 payroll resolution. The consent block was approved by roll call earlier in the meeting.
After a closed session the board returned to open session to vote specifically on consent item B (personnel recommendations), which covered new hires, resignations, leaves of absence, releases and summer‑school hires. The motion to approve those personnel recommendations passed on a roll‑call vote: Miss Williams Lee — Yes; Dr. Livingston — Yes; Mr. Brisbane — Yes; Mr. Arkin — Yes; Dr. Maharaj — Yes; Mr. Brian Harris — No; Mr. Koski — Yes. The tally: 6 yes, 1 no.
The board concluded the meeting by adjourning after the completed votes.
