Loading...
Summary
The Barrington CUSD 220 Board of Education affirmed an administrative suspension, approved the consent agenda and voted to award contracts for custodial services, bus transportation and masonry/roofing work; the board also introduced two recommended principals.
The Board of Education of Barrington Community School District 220 on a unanimous recorded roll call affirmed the administration's suspension of a student and adopted the hearing officer's report, and approved several contract and personnel items.
The board approved the consent agenda, which included minutes for March 3 (open and closed), finance reports (treasurer's report, revenues and expenditures), a wage report, the March bill list, renewal of IHSA membership and a revised personnel report. The motion to approve the consent agenda was moved and seconded and passed on roll call (recorded votes: Sandra Bradford, Leah Callister Lazari, Steve Wang, Harathi Srivastava, Erin Chan Ding, Barry Altschuler; all recorded "yes").
On personnel, the board heard introductions of the administration's recommendations: Kyle Block as the next principal at Lines Elementary School and Sarah Gerasic as the recommended principal for North Barrington Elementary School. Both were welcomed and addressed the board briefly.
The board moved to affirm an administrative suspension and adopt the hearing officer's report. The motion passed on roll call (Marielle Schuler, Leah Callister Lazari, Harathi Srivastava, Erin Chan Ding, Sandra Bradford, Steve Wang recorded as "yes"). The superintendent will provide a letter to the parents reflecting the determination.
Contract approvals included: - Custodial services: the district recommended FBG following an RFP/matrix evaluation; the presenter said FBG was the lowest and most suitable bid for the high school custodial partnership. The board approved the custodial contract on roll call (recorded "yes" votes by the members listed during the roll). - Bus transportation: the board approved a negotiated renewal with Barrington Transportation Company; the presenter said the vendor's local hub and competitive pricing were benefits. The motion passed on roll call (recorded "yes" votes by the members listed during that roll). - Masonry and roofing: the lowest bidder was RestoreWorks and the district negotiated about $100,000 in reductions; the final price remained approximately $38,000 over the original line item but was described as manageable within the summer capital budget. The board approved the contract on roll call (recorded "yes" votes by the members listed during that roll).
What happens next: the superintendent will issue the required parent letter in the suspension matter; contract awards proceed to implementation per standard procurement steps and the district will monitor budget impacts in the capital plan.
Votes at a glance (recorded roll calls as read in public): the meeting recorded unanimous 'yes' votes in the listed roll calls for the consent agenda, the suspension affirmation, and each contract approval (the public roll calls appear in the meeting record).
