The Minooka Community Consolidated School District 201 Board of Education voted unanimously Thursday to approve the consent agenda and three separate personnel and labor items, including administrator multi‑year contracts, an amendment to the superintendent’s contract and a memorandum of understanding with the Minooka Education Association to create a stipend for board‑certified behavior analysts.
The actions were taken by roll call votes during the board meeting and carried with all voting members in favor.
Consent agenda and personnel motions - Consent agenda: A motion to approve the consent agenda "as presented" was made and seconded and passed by roll call; board members present recorded “aye.” - Administrator multi‑year contracts: The board moved to approve administrator multi‑year contracts as presented and carried the motion by roll call vote. - Superintendent contract amendment: The board moved to approve an amendment to the superintendent’s contract as presented; the motion passed by roll call vote. - MEEA memorandum of understanding: The board approved a memorandum of understanding with the Minooka Education Association (MEEA) to establish a stipend for a behavior interventionist who holds an active Board‑Certified Behavior Analyst credential; the motion passed by roll call vote.
The votes as recorded on the roll calls in the meeting transcript indicate all voting members present cast affirmative votes on each motion.
What the MEEA MOU says (as presented) Superintendent Kinder and district staff described the MOU as an agreement with the Minooka Education Association to designate a stipend for a certified behavior analyst employed by the district. The district said the stipend is intended to allow the district to hire and retain staff with those credentials, reducing the need to contract external specialists to serve students who require intensive behavior support.
