Amboy Community Unified School District 272 Board met Oct. 11.
Here is the minutes provided by the board:
President Jones called the Finance/Building & Grounds Committee Meeting of the Board of Education to order at 7:00 p.m. All board members were present. Also present were Joshua Nichols, Andrew Full, Joyce Schamberger, Andy Shaw and John Schamberger.
The floor was opened to comments or questions from the audience. Mayor, John Schamberger, and Lee/Ogle County Enterprise Zone Administrator, Andy Shaw, reviewed the Enterprise Zone and its impact on the school district. School Districts can choose to be a part of the zone because it will affect EAV.
Superintendent Nichols reviewed the September financial reports and shared the following:
• Currently running under budget.
• Bus stop camera has been installed.
• State and Federal funds for Title grants are coming in.
• Boilers at the Whiteside Area Career Center cracked and failed. Because we are a part of their service area and utilize their services, we must pay a portion of the expenses to repair/replace. More to come.
• Sarah Land has moved from part time to full time at the Junior High.
• Snow removal is currently out for bid.
Discussed joining the Lee Ogle County Enterprise Zone. This affects only new construction. A resolution will be presented at the next regular board meeting.
Principal Schamberger presented options for a playground for the preschool. The playground must be fenced. The board discussed benefits for going out to bid, pursuing a grant or accepting the current proposal, which falls under the $50,000.00 threshold, therefore a bidding process is not required.
At 7:43 p.m., a motion was made by Payne and seconded by Schnaiter to go into Executive Session to discuss the appointment, employment, compensation, discipline, performance, or dismissal of specific employees of the public body. Motion carried unanimously upon roll call.
At 7:51 p.m., a motion was made by Hummel and seconded by Leffelman to return to Open Session. Motion carried unanimously upon roll call.
A motion was made by Schnaiter and seconded by Hummel to accept the resignation of Shannon Nichols as Paraprofessional at Central School, effective October 17, 2018. Motion carried unanimously upon roll call.
A motion was made by Leffelman and seconded by Payne to adjourn the meeting at 7:53 p.m. Motion carried unanimously upon roll call.
