Board approves custodial reduction-in-force and MOU with SEIU clarifying early-retirement language
Summary
The board authorized elimination of two part-time custodial positions and creation of one full-time position; it also approved an MOU with SEIU clarifying that the contract's 'mandatory age (70)' language does not force retirement and explained application of the Early Retirement Incentive.
The Prospect Heights School District 23 board on Nov. 13 approved a reduction-in-force affecting custodial staffing and approved a related Memorandum of Understanding with SEIU Local No. 73 clarifying the application of the district's Early Retirement Incentive language. Administration said the recommendation to eliminate two part-time custodial positions and create one full-time position had been discussed with SEIU representatives and previewed in the Buildings & Sites committee.
The RIF resolution was approved by motion of Spencer Long, seconded by Brynn Nordmark, and passed 7–0. The MOU clarifies that the contractual phrasing referencing a 'mandatory age (70)' does not compel an employee to retire and states that the MOU will not be construed as a guarantee of continued employment; it also confirms that the MOU controls in case of conflict with the collective bargaining agreement.
