Board approves consent agenda and personnel actions; FY25 audit presentation rescheduled
Summary
The board approved the consent agenda and several personnel actions including the hiring of a Math Interventionist and a long-term substitute PE teacher, and granted a paraprofessional leave; the FY25 audit presentation was postponed to Feb. 23, 2026 due to the auditor’s absence.
At its Jan. 26 meeting the La Grange SD 105 Board of Education approved the consent agenda and several personnel actions.
Board President Bryan White moved to approve the consent agenda, which included minutes, administrative reports across curriculum, finance and technology, FOIA reports, payment of bills/payroll and the substitute list; the motion passed on roll call with all present voting aye.
The board approved employment motions: Sheri Engstrom as Math Interventionist at Spring Avenue and Seventh Avenue effective Jan. 20, 2026, at a prorated salary of $30,986.31 (annual salary listed as $64,821.94), and Jason Venckus as a long-term substitute physical education teacher effective Jan. 22, 2026, at a daily rate of $155 for the first ten days and at $269.26 per day thereafter. Mr. Barrett made the employment motion.
The board also approved a leave of absence for paraprofessional Ploy Ravenna at Ideal Elementary from Jan. 26 through May 28, 2026. The minutes note that the auditor was unable to attend the meeting due to illness and that the FY25 annual financial report and independent audit will be presented on Feb. 23, 2026.
Why it matters: these actions finalize staffing and operational items affecting classrooms and personnel; the rescheduling of the annual audit shifts the district’s financial review to the next meeting.
