Superintendent: Komarek submitted COPS grant, researching salaries ahead of negotiations; closed session included student discipline update
Summary
Superintendent Todd Fitzgerald said the district and West40 submitted a COPS School Violence grant with participation from North Riverside Police Department, and that the district is compiling salary/benefit comparisons ahead of negotiations with the teachers' association. The board held a brief closed session in which Dr. Fitzgerald updated members on a student disciplinary matter.
Superintendent Dr. Todd Fitzgerald told the board on July 8 that he and district staff collaborated with the West40 Regional Office of Education to submit a COPS School Violence grant; the minutes note North Riverside Police Department participated because a law enforcement representative is required for the application. Fitzgerald also said the district is researching salaries and benefits of similar districts to prepare for negotiations with the North Riverside Education Association for the 2025–2026 school year.
Fitzgerald reported the district is pursuing additional grant funding and noted the business office is assisting with budget planning. He also reported the district is close to filling a 4th grade teaching vacancy created by the resignation of Nicole Kiewert. The board later moved to executive session to discuss personnel and student issues; the closed-session minutes state Dr. Fitzgerald provided the board an update regarding a student disciplinary matter, but the public minutes do not provide details of that discussion.
The minutes record no motion or public action arising from the closed-session update.
