Board approves consent agenda, financial and legal items; one recusal noted
Summary
The Elmwood Park Board voted by roll call to approve personnel, student, general and financial consent items as well as business and legal items. All motions recorded passed; a board member recused herself from two specific financial checks.
At its April meeting the Elmwood Park Board of Education moved and approved multiple consent and routine agenda items by roll call, including personnel, student, general, financial, business and legal items.
The board approved personnel items (pages 7–15, PG PA1–PL2), student items (S1–S3), general items (G1–G8), acceptance of the March 25 minutes, financial items (F1–F15), business motion BG1, H1 and legal items L1–L6. The motions were called and seconded in each section and passed on roll call with the members present recorded as voting "yes." The transcript captures the name of each member called in roll call for the votes.
During the financial vote the transcript records a recusal: Mrs. Mayor Jooski noted she would "recuse F3 check number 11989190 and F4 2574 and check 2575" (check numbers read from the meeting packet). The meeting reflected the recusal in the roll‑call sequence; no further comment was recorded.
The board opened the floor to public comment on general items and recorded no speakers. Board members then offered closing remarks and the meeting was adjourned.
