Crete‑Monee School Board approves consent agenda, final payment, personnel hires and moves ahead on dismissal and reorganization
Summary
At the April 21 meeting the Crete‑Monee CUSD 201U Board approved its consent agenda including a $77,128.54 final payment, approved an assistant principal contract, voted to dismiss a non‑licensed employee (Veronica Tansey) after a prior closed‑session discussion, and completed board reorganization with votes to appoint a new vice president and board secretary.
The Crete‑Monee CUSD 201U Board of Education, meeting April 21, approved its consent agenda and several personnel and organizational actions.
On the consent agenda the board approved minutes, the financial report and a final payment of $77,128.54 to Reconstruction for work at ELC and Talala. The superintendent also summarized personnel items and a CHS/JROTC overnight field trip that were included in the consent package. The consent agenda passed on a roll‑call vote; the secretary recorded the motion as carried.
In action items the board agreed to postpone one action report (described in the meeting as "number eight alpha number two") to the May meeting to allow staff to separate administrative and non‑union contract adjustments for clearer voting. Board members said the change is procedural and will not alter timing for implementation.
The board then approved a contract for an assistant principal at Monia Elementary School, as moved and seconded; no member raised questions during the open meeting and the motion carried on roll call.
The board also moved and voted to dismiss a non‑licensed employee identified in open session as Veronica Tansey. Board members stated the dismissal stems from matters discussed in a closed session on April 14, 2026; the board did not discuss details in open session. The motion was seconded and carried.
Finally the board addressed reorganization after receiving a resignation from the vice president and a resignation from the secretary position. The board appointed Cheryl (the district executive secretary) as pro tem secretary to assist during the meeting, then nominated and voted to appoint Jamie Zeitz Stumbris as vice president and Janine Wolfolk as board secretary. Those nominations were accepted and carried by roll call.
Board members also asked staff to follow up on a separate request about whether the district will provide support to a student attending an upcoming spelling bee; the superintendent said she will report back to the board. The meeting adjourned following the votes.
All votes were recorded by roll call in the meeting transcript; the board announced motions as carried where indicated. Where disciplinary matters were at issue the board cited closed‑session discussion and did not disclose details in public session.
