Oak Park School District board adopts norms, approves contracts and OKs $1.67 million security amendment
Summary
At a special meeting, the Oak Park School District Board of Education approved its agenda and board norms, approved a contract of employment for branch units, and approved an amendment to the district's security services contract that increases the total contract by $1,668,364.80; vote tallies and mover/second were not recorded in the transcript.
The Oak Park School District Board of Education convened a special meeting at 6:00 p.m. and approved the agenda by unanimous consent. The Chair stated, "The agenda is approved." The board then adopted a set of six board norms emphasizing punctuality, asking questions, attendance, avoiding surprises, brevity and respect.
The board approved two substantive items: a contract of employment for Oak Park Schools branch units and a resolution amending the district's Security Services contract. The amendment text read that the amendment would "increase the total contract amount by $1,668,364 dollars and 80¢ as presented," and authorized the board president and superintendent to execute the amendment. The transcript records that the motions passed — the Chair announced, "That motion passes" — but does not include mover/second names or a vote tally.
The meeting concluded with no information items reported and a brief communications segment in which a committee member suggested installing high‑visibility yard signs at the high school and offered condolences to victims of nearby gun violence. Specific financial or contractual details for the contract of employment were not specified in the transcript.
