Sesser-Valier board approves consent agenda including tax-levy resolutions and Saluki Start MOU
Summary
The Sesser-Valier CUSD 196 Board unanimously approved the consent agenda Dec. 8, 2025, adopting four tax-levy resolutions, approving a Saluki Start dual-enrollment MOU with Southern Illinois University, and authorizing the superintendent to adjust individual fund levies within the approved aggregate levy.
The Sesser-Valier Community Unit School District No. 196 Board of Education unanimously approved a multi-item consent agenda at its Dec. 8, 2025 meeting, adopting four separate tax-levy resolutions and approving administrative reports and agreements. Kirk moved the consent agenda and Rounds seconded; the roll call vote was seven yeas and zero nays.
The consent items included minutes from the Nov. 10, 2025 regular meeting; payment of bills totaling $384,816.27 and salaries totaling $499,264.31; adoption of a 3-year Annual Average Operational Funds Expenditure Report for FY2023–25; a memorandum of understanding for the Saluki Start Dual Enrollment Program with Southern Illinois University; a health/life/safety survey amendment; and a set of tax-levy resolutions. The board also authorized the superintendent to adjust individual fund levies provided the aggregate tax levy did not exceed the Board-approved total. The motion was approved "as presented."
Superintendent J. Henry told the board that, following adoption of the Tax Year 2025 levy, necessary documents would be filed in Franklin and Jefferson Counties on or before the statutory deadline of Dec. 30, 2025. The approval preserves the district's ability to proceed with required filings and the Saluki Start agreement that expands dual-enrollment access for high school students.
