Board approves consent agenda: $824,815.57 in bills, personnel changes and retirement MOU
Summary
District 69 approved its consent agenda including payment of $824,815.57 in bills, several personnel actions and an amended retirement Memorandum of Understanding setting Ellyn Sweetman's retirement for end of 2028–29.
At its Nov. 12 meeting, the Skokie School District 69 Board unanimously approved the consent agenda, which included payment of bills dated Oct. 31, 2024 totaling $824,815.57 and several personnel transactions.
Consent items listed by the board included approval of minutes from the Oct. 15 regular and closed meetings; payment of bills for $824,815.57; approval of new hires (temporary lunch/recess supervisor Shahina Asmal at Edison effective Nov. 11, 2024); resignations (e.g., Georgina Rubio, special‑education paraprofessional at Edison, effective Oct. 15, 2024); termination actions (Krisnee Lopez, lunch/recess supervisor at Edison, effective Oct. 15, 2024); and a leave of absence for Alexandra Richardson (Teacher 02 at Madison, effective May 5, 2025–June 4, 2025).
The board also approved a Memorandum of Understanding with the Skokie Education Association to rescind the previously approved retirement of Ellyn Sweetman at the end of 2026–27 and set her irrevocable retirement to the end of the 2028–29 school year. The consent motion was moved by Dr. Mark Chao and seconded by Ms. Lindley Wisnewski and carried on a roll call vote with Ayes: Dembo, Chao, Perez, Marsden, Wisnewski; Absent: Freeman, Cooley‑Jones.
What this means: routine operational and personnel items were approved together to streamline board business; the Sweetman MOU changes the effective retirement date in a negotiated agreement with the SEA.
