The board unanimously approved Action #25‑94, a personnel consent agenda listing mentor stipends for the 2026–2027 school year, an administrative retirement, a multi‑part leave of absence, and extracurricular coaching hires and a resignation.
At its June 2 special meeting, the Lemont Township High School District 210 Board of Education unanimously approved the Personnel Consent Agenda (Action #25‑94). Member Sarah Pocic moved the consent agenda; Member Beverly Marzec seconded. The roll-call vote was recorded as Aye: Driscoll, Kardas, Marzec, Antonopoulos, Pocic, and Korte.
The consent agenda included certified mentor assignments for first‑year teachers with a stipend listed as $1,292.40 for the 2026–2027 school year. Named mentor assignments in the minutes included Bill Holeman (mentor for Brandon Stomp, Science), Matt Jordan (mentor for Kim Pagliarulo, Business/Computer Science), Leslie Locascio (mentor for Kristen Janociak, Special Education), Willie Hayes (mentor for Rafal Slomba, Physical Education), Brian Storako (mentor for Egan Berta, Physical Education), Tracey Rainey (mentor for Peggy Clemons, Health), Zach Kuipers (mentor for Marisa Bolin, Psychologist), and Stephenie Goostree (mentor for Dan Priestley, Department Chair).

Personnel items also recorded the retirement of John Kennedy, listed as Dean of Students and noted in the minutes as effective May 2030 under Section 5.7 of the 2023–2027 ALT Contract (the minutes show that date verbatim). The agenda recorded a multi-part family medical leave for Spanish teacher Alex Hayes running from paid leave beginning Aug. 7, 2026, through unpaid leave periods ending Dec. 18, 2026. Extra‑curricular actions included hiring Dylan Mack as Head Girls' Bowling Coach (step 1; stipend $6,462.00) and Jeff Perich as Assistant Boys' Bowling Coach (step 1; stipend $4,523.40); the minutes note the hires were contingent upon successful completion of required documents and background checks.
