Morton board approves consent agenda including $8.2M education payroll and multiple student discipline placements
Summary
The board approved the consent agenda, which included education payroll of $8,208,406.07, building payroll of $905,747.69, bills for payment and several student placement changes to alternative educational settings.
At its Feb. 11 meeting the Board of Education approved the consent agenda, which included routine but substantive fiscal and disciplinary items.
Payroll approvals recorded in the minutes show Education payroll of $8,208,406.07, Building payroll of $905,747.69 and Transportation payroll of $343.65. The minutes also list bills for payment on Feb. 12, 2026, for amounts of $104,186.95 and $3,293,856.68. The consent agenda passed on a motion by Member Mark Kraft, seconded by Member Fernando Godinez, with all present members recorded as voting in the affirmative; Member Maria A. Gallegos was absent.
The board also approved multiple student-discipline placement actions, recorded by student number. The actions move several students to alternate educational settings, including placements at the Morton Alternative School and transfers to the Freshman Center for the remainder of the 2025–26 school year and, in some cases, the entire 2026–27 school year. The minutes list student identifiers (for example, 490118, 490499, 491443 and others) and the specific placement outcomes.
The meeting record does not include additional narrative discussion of these items; it records the approvals and the payroll/bill figures as presented to the board.
