Burbank SD 111 board approves consent agenda, charges off $45,153.89 in meal balances and adopts policy 3:30‑E
Summary
The Board of Education approved a consent agenda that included personnel hires and resignations, renewal of a snow‑removal contract, and a $45,153.89 charge‑off for unpaid student meal balances; the board also adopted Policy 3:30‑E on second reading and approved a closed‑session personnel title and pay change.
The Board of Education of Burbank School District 111 approved a sweeping consent agenda on Sept. 24 that included personnel actions, a contract renewal for snow removal and a $45,153.89 charge‑off of outstanding student meal balances.
Vice President Thomas Jansen moved to approve the consent agenda; Member John Schuetz seconded the motion. The board recorded six ayes (Schuetz, Greene, Swistowicz, Thomas, Jansen, Dabrowski) and one absence (Gregory Komperda). Items approved included claims and bills totaling $2,556,514.07 across district funds, acceptance of multiple resignations and hires for paraprofessionals and meal supervisors, FMLA approvals, salary lane changes, extracurricular sponsor appointments, and the renewal of Ed's Landscaping for snow removal.
Assistant Superintendent for Business and Finance Dr. Ana Ochoa asked the board to approve charging off $45,153.89 in outstanding meal balances, citing the district’s implementation of the Community Eligibility Provision (free meals for all), a significant number of students no longer enrolled and the administrative cost of continuing collection efforts. The charge‑off was included in the consent agenda and approved without separate roll‑call objection.
On a separate item included under new business, Vice President Jansen moved and Member Jeniz Greene seconded adoption of Board Policy 3:30‑E (Organizational Chart) on second reading. Roll call again recorded six ayes and one absence; the motion carried.
Following a closed session to discuss personnel matters under 5 ILCS 120/2, the board reconvened and approved, by vote, a title change and salary increase for Kristin Welsh, with Jansen moving and Member Jessica Thomas seconding. The roll call for that motion matched prior votes: six ayes and one absence.
The meeting adjourned at 7:19 p.m. after a final procedural vote.
