Board approves interim network manager job posting, updates IMRF incentive; district wins small state library grant

Summary

The board approved an interim network manager job description after the passing of a contracted IT provider, updated an IMRF retirement incentive (salary increase from 4.5% to 6% plus a graduated stipend), and was awarded an Illinois School District Library Grant allocation for Meadowbrook ($1,522).

The board approved two personnel actions and heard that the district again qualified for a small state library grant.

Human Resources (Edward) requested board approval to post an interim network manager position after the death of contracted services provider Casey Jost. The position description was approved so the district can recruit support for the remainder of the school year.

HR also presented an updated IMRF retirement incentive that increases the salary boost on intent-to-retire from 4.5% to 6% and establishes a graduated lump-sum stipend depending on how many years in advance a full-time employee notifies the district. The board approved the revised incentive document.

In teaching and learning, the district qualified for the Illinois School District Library Grant, a state-funded program that provides $0.88 per student to support library services; Meadowbrook librarian Monica Benz is the district recipient and will use $1,522 for print and nonprint materials. The board said the funds will support ongoing literacy and library needs.
