Summary

The board approved Claims and Accounts totaling $7,864,516.74, accepted several resignations, employed new staff including a 1st-grade teacher and meal supervisors, and authorized filing for a School Maintenance Project Grant to help cover asbestos abatement and flooring replacement.

The board approved the consent agenda that listed Claims and Accounts across district funds totaling $7,864,516.74. The roll-call vote on the consent agenda carried with President Marissa Swistowicz, Vice President Thomas Jansen, Secretary Agnieszka Dabrowski, and members Jessica Thomas, Gregory Komperda, John Schuetz and Jeniz Greene voting aye.

The approved items included personnel actions: acceptance of resignations (for example, Maria Valdez, custodian at Liberty JH, effective Nov. 7, 2025; Laura Lieber, school secretary at Byrd, effective Nov. 26, 2025) and employment offers (including Eileen Heinrich as a first-grade teacher at Kennedy School effective Oct. 27, 2025, and several meal supervisors at hourly rates). The board also authorized administration to apply for the School Maintenance Project Grant to cover part of the cost of asbestos abatement and flooring tile replacement.

Why it matters: The claims list represents the district's current expenditures across operating and capital funds; approved personnel changes affect classroom staffing and building operations, and the grant application, if awarded, would offset capital remediation costs.
