Board approves consent agenda and recognizes psychologists under bargaining agreement
Summary
The board approved the consent agenda (personnel, financial reports, pay orders, policy 2nd readings) and voted to recognize district psychologists as members of the District 68 Education Association with a negotiated agreement covering 2024–25 and 2025–26.
The board moved and approved the consent agenda, which included personnel actions, September 2024 financial reports, pay orders and a second reading of selected policies. The president called for the consent agenda and members provided the roll‑call affirmations noted in the meeting transcript.
On an action item related to personnel, the board approved a motion to include school psychologists in the District 68 Education Association and to adopt the related agreement for the 2024–25 and 2025–26 contract years. Dr. Scott Grens explained the practical effect: "Our amazing school psychologists are now part of our district 68 education association," and said the psychologists will have clarified compensation and collective‑bargaining coverage going forward. The motion was made, seconded and accepted by the board; the transcript records the motion and positive affirmation but does not list a separate recorded tally beyond affirmative roll calls in the meeting.
