Summary
At its Dec. 15 meeting, the Harlem UD 122 board unanimously approved the FY25 audit, treasurer's report, contracts for speech therapy and professional development, surplus-property resolution, and routine bills before voting to enter executive session on negotiations.
The Harlem Unit District 122 board on Dec. 15 accepted the FY25 audit prepared by Sikich, approved the October treasurer's report and a new code-required cash-balance report, and passed a series of contracts and consent items by roll-call vote.
Business and operations reported total payables of $3,751,316.99 and total expenditures for the period of $7,362,226.15 across funds, including a payroll of $3,610,909.16. The board approved the bills after a brief clarification about a bond-payment line item.
Notable approved items included: - A resolution declaring surplus property at Harlem Middle School and Parker Center; - Acceptance of the FY25 audit by Sikich, with the audit report to be uploaded to the district website; - Approval of an agreement with Lighthouse Speech Therapy to provide speech and language services at $115 per hour (37.5 hours/week; not to exceed 13 weeks; total $56,062.50), to be paid with IDEA Part B flow-through funds; - A professional-development agreement with PD Monster for school-improvement and institute days at $6,300 (IDEA Part B); and - An agreement with the Regional Office of Education for workshops on 02/13/2026 at $12,300 paid with Title II funds.
The personnel agenda — five new employments, six transfers and six resignations, including a full-time substitute position that will terminate at the end of the school year — was approved as part of the consent agenda. The board also approved multiple student travel requests for athletics and performance competitions.
Following the consent items, President Sterling moved the board into executive session to discuss negotiations under the statute cited at the meeting; the motion passed on a roll-call vote and the room was cleared.
