Hillside board renews special-education settlement and approves staff contract
Summary
At a board meeting, the Hillside Public School District approved renewal of a special-education settlement that includes a 3% annual increase for three years and voted to adopt a staff contract and salary guides the board said were adopted unanimously; specific dollar amounts and the student number were not specified.
Hillside Public School District board members approved a resolution renewing a settlement agreement related to a special-education student and voted to adopt a staff contract and associated salary guides.
An unidentified presenter read the resolution, saying it would renew the settlement "related to special education student number" (the student number was not specified in the transcript) and that "the terms of which contain the agreement will be in the same terms, so the subject to a 3% increase per annum. It's 3 years." The resolution was moved and seconded and then approved by roll call.
Separately, board members completed action on a negotiated staff contract and accompanying salary guides. An unidentified board member thanked negotiators and the Education Association and said the salary guides approved that evening should help the district fill positions. That speaker also said, "I don't believe in my time that we've had a unanimous vote from the board on a contract," indicating the contract vote was recorded as unanimous in the meeting transcript.
The transcript does not record the exact dollar amounts tied to the settlement or contract, nor does it specify the student number tied to the settlement agreement. A motion was also made to move Policy items 1 and 2; the motion was seconded, but the content of those policy items was not described in the provided segments.
The meeting closed after a brief period of additional procedural confirmations and a motion to adjourn.
