The Flossmoor SD 161 Board of Education approved several routine financial and personnel items at its Dec. 1 meeting, including $190,409.02 in bills and the addition of a business-office confidential associate position with an annual salary described as approximately $50,000 to $60,000.

During the open meeting after returning from executive session, the presiding officer presented the consent agenda, which initially included personnel report 26009, payroll for November, executive-session minutes and a foyer request. The board moved to approve the consent agenda (personnel report was pulled for separate consideration) and passed the motion by roll call.

A separate motion to approve personnel report 26009 was moved, seconded and approved by roll call. The presiding officer then introduced the bills for the month of December as reviewed by Christina Vlister; an unnamed board member moved to approve the bills in the amount of $190,409.02 and the board approved that motion by roll call.

The board next considered a motion to approve an additional business-office confidential associate position with an annual salary described in the motion as approximately $50,000 to $60,000. That motion was moved, seconded and passed by roll call.

The meeting concluded with a motion to adjourn that passed on an affirmative voice vote.
