Flossmoor SD 161 board approves bills, contracts and stipends and holds executive-session on personnel
Summary
At its Jan. 13 meeting the Flossmoor SD 161 Board of Education approved the consent agenda, authorized payment of January bills, approved several contracts and stipends and moved into an executive session on personnel under 5 ILCS 120/2(c)(1).
The Flossmoor SD 161 Board of Education approved several routine and contract items during its Jan. 13 meeting and moved into an optional executive session on personnel under 5 ILCS 120/2(c)(1).
The consent agenda passed on a roll call and included the personnel report 25-013, payroll for December and two FOIA requests. The board then approved payment of the district’s January bills and several action items that followed during the meeting.
The board approved the district bills presented for January. The amount discussed during the meeting was inconsistent on the record: a board member stated the bills totaled $2,804,116.36 when reporting review of the bills, while the motion on the floor stated $2,804,016.36; the motion passed on roll call. The board asked staff to follow up on two items: (1) a request for an overview of the district’s residency hearings and vendor usage, and (2) how community-partnership grant funds were used for attendance incentives.
Other approved items included: - A participation agreement with the University of Chicago for the Social, Social Technology and Adolescent Research Study (STARS). - A nurse stipend of $25 per day for skilled care procedures and an increased guest nurse proposed rate of $27 per hour. - A one-year landscaping contract with the Ground Up, with an option for two rollover years. - A 2024 resolution providing for abatement of levy adjustment as presented; a district staff member said the county’s figure for the abatement was “just under $150,000.”
The board moved to an executive session for matters relating to personnel citing 5 ILCS 120/2(c)(1); the motion was seconded and the board voted to enter the closed session. The meeting returned to open session and adjourned later in the evening.
Where there was discussion during votes, items noted for follow-up included requests for a residency-program overview and a future report on attendance data to evaluate the effectiveness of recently approved attendance incentives funded by a community partnership grant.
