Wilmette SD 39 board approves 2024–25 strategic plan, support‑staff contract tweaks and $2.33M in payments
Summary
The Wilmette School District 39 Board on Sept. 23 approved the district’s 2024–25 strategic plan action steps, two support‑staff letters of agreement and accounts‑payable disbursements totaling $2,332,200.02 as part of a unanimous consent agenda vote.
President Erin Stone presided as the Wilmette Public Schools District 39 Board of Education on Monday approved a multi‑item consent agenda that included the district’s 2024–25 strategic action steps, two letters of agreement affecting support staff and the board’s accounts‑payable disbursements.
Anne Hart moved to approve the personnel report dated Sept. 23, the support‑staff union letters of agreement (changes to Appendix D), the district strategic plan action steps for 2024–25 and the second and final readings of multiple board policies. The motion also included approval of accounts payable for the period 08/27/2024–09/23/2024 totaling $2,332,200.02 across funds and listed manual checks for the same period. The motion was seconded and carried on a roll‑call vote in which each listed trustee voted yes.
Why it matters: The strategic action steps outline the district’s operating priorities for the year and guide curriculum, social‑emotional learning and staffing decisions. The two support‑staff letters of agreement add operational capacity—raising cooks’ daily hours to support meal preparation and establishing a stipend for a website/online‑systems specialist—and will appear in the consent agenda documentation for implementation.
Details of the approvals: The motion listed dozens of policies by number for second and final reading and the financial totals by fund: Educational Fund $863,523.45; Operations & Maintenance $142,033.68; Transportation $1,182.32; Capital Projects $1,325,460.57 (total $2,332,200.02). Manual checks issued between 08/27/2024 and 09/23/2024 were reported in the motion (amounts were listed in the board packet). The clerk called the roll and the board recorded unanimous approval.
Next steps: Administrators will implement the adopted strategic action steps and the support‑staff contract adjustments. The board indicated that some policy edits noted during the second reading were typographical and would be corrected prior to final posting. No substantive policy changes were reported as part of the motion.
Board members who voted yes: Erin Stone (president), John Ceasaretti, Anne Hart, Bonnie Kim, Allison Papas, Amy Poehling, Lisa Schneider Fabes.
Provenance: The motion language and vote are recorded in the meeting transcript where the consent agenda motions were read (topic introduced at SEG 1295; vote and roll call concluded SEG 1345–SEG 1364).
