Board approves consent contracts, personnel actions and one student expulsion
Summary
The board approved consent items including a $14,984 AVID agreement and up to $5,000 for pre‑K social‑emotional consulting, adopted personnel recommendations and approved the recommended expulsion of one eighth‑grade student (motion passed 6‑aye, 1 present).
The board voted to approve consent action items 12.2–12.5, which included a $14,984 Illinois State Board learning‑partner agreement with AVID for Lanphier High School (to be paid with Title I School Improvement funds) and an agreement of up to $5,000 for a social‑emotional learning consultant for the Early Learning Center to be paid from the federal Pre‑K expansion grant.
