September 1, 2015 at 6:30 PM - SPECIAL BOARD MEETING

Description: 
I move that the Board of Education  adopt the Resolution supporting the recommendations of the Village of Brookfield's Public Safety Commission regarding Hollywood School:

WHEREAS, on September 1, 2015, the Board of Education of Riverside School District 96 did adopt a resolution supporting the following safety recommendations for Hollywood School:

1. Make the 3400 block of Hollywood Avenue a School Zone.
2. Make the 3400 block of Hollywood Avenue a one way going north from 7:30-8:30 a.m. and from 2:30-3:30 p.m. on school days.  This will make it safer by having everyone moving in the same direction as drop-off and pick-up and enforce a one-way during these times.
3. Implement a No Left Turn onto Washington from 3500 block of Hollywood from 2:30-3:30 p.m. on school days (at the intersection of Hollywood/Washington by the crossing guard) to make it safer for kids who walk south after school.

NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of Education of Riverside School District 96, Cook County, Illinois as follows:

That the Board of Education finds that the recommendations of the Village of Brookfield's Public Safety Commission will improve the safety for students and families of Hollywood School regarding the drop-off and pick-up procedures.

Description:  I move that the Board of Education approve the employment of Nicholas Mendez at the annual salary of $47,500.00 as the Computer Help Desk Technician for Riverside School District 96, as presented. 
Nick Mendez is currently under contract with Addison Group until September 11, 2015.  In order to ensure there is no lapse in employment, we are requesting his start date be September 14, 2015.
Our intent was to bring this to the August 18, 2015 Board Meeting, however, we were unable to verify whether or not a placement fee would be applicable if his approval pre-dated his contract end date. We now have verification that there would be no placement fee associated with our employment of Mr. Mendez.
The good news is that we avoided a placement fee (approx. $7,000 range).

Description:  The original contract that the Board approved at the August 18, Regular Business Meeting needs revision.  The language and dates in the contract were not accurate and actually was in favor to the Board and negatively impacted our new employee.  Specifically, the intent of the contact is for 10 months of work including, 10 working days prior to the beginning of the school year and 10 working days following the end of the school year.   The revised accurate represents the intent of the 10 month contact eliminating all vacation days and more clearly specifying work days not including the days during winter and spring recess.  

Description:  I move that The Board of Education approve the  employment of __________________, as the Supeintendent's Search Team for Riverside District 96, not to exceed a cost of___________________.
