Summary
The Nippersink SD 2 board unanimously approved a resolution authorizing participation in the McHenry County Regional Safe School Program, maintaining an out‑placement option for students with behavioral needs within budget and regionally nearby.
The Nippersink SD 2 Board of Education voted to authorize continued participation in the McHenry County Regional Safe School Program, a regional placement option for students who must be out‑placed for behavioral reasons.
Superintendent (S7) introduced the annual resolution, saying the program provides “a place to send them that is, within our budget and relatively close.” After a motion and second, board members recorded their votes and the motion passed.
Board members called their votes in sequence; the roll call recorded affirmative votes from Joel Johnson, Joseph Quinn, Katie Casey, Mary Shufeld, Tom Schwartz and Holly Stansbury. No dissent was recorded during the vote.
The resolution is procedural and recurring: the district said it will continue to refer students for behavioral placements when necessary subject to available funding. The board did not specify any fiscal increase tied to the resolution during the meeting.
The board moved next to committee updates and several operational reports; staff said they will follow up with any required enrollment or placement paperwork tied to the program.
