Summary
Board approved the consent agenda by roll call, ratified proposed NSSEO articles of agreement amendments, and appointed IASB delegates while directing the delegate to vote NO on a nominations provision in a constitutional amendment (article 4, section 1).
At the Nov. 18 meeting District 57's board approved the consent agenda by roll-call vote and took several routine governance actions.
A motion to approve the consent agenda was moved and seconded; the board's roll call recorded affirmative votes from Member Doerner, Member Faye, Member Kwalcek, Member Leto, Member Nelson and President Bennett Kelt.
The board then considered and approved a resolution ratifying proposed amendments to the NSSEO (Northern Suburban Special Education Organization) articles of agreement. Board members noted that several member districts had already approved the amendments and emphasized the importance of remaining a district in good standing within the cooperative.
Separately, the board appointed a delegate and alternate to the 2025 Illinois Association of School Boards (IASB) delegate assembly and discussed how to instruct that delegate on constitutional amendment votes. The board agreed to advise their delegate (Eileen) to vote YES on most proposed constitutional amendments but to vote NO on one provision concerning nominations (article 4, section 1) and to withhold support for adopting that element. Board members framed that as guidance, not a binding board vote for the delegate.
The meeting closed with routine communications and PTO/NSSEO reports and an adjournment vote.
