Approval of Determination of Serious Safety Hazards Related to Student Transportation – 8.02
SG 4: Stewardship of Resources
According to Illinois School Code (105 ILCS 5/29-3), a school board may provide free transportation for any pupil residing within one and one-half miles from school where conditions are such that walking constitutes a serious hazard to students due to vehicular traffic. These areas have been identified as a serious safety hazard in accordance with guidelines promoted by the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) in consultation with the Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE). 

As part of preparations for 2021-22 student transportation services, the administration approved these areas and therefore certifies to the State Board of Education that the hazardous conditions remain unchanged.

SG 4: Stewardship of Resources
The 2021-22 school year represents the fifth renewal for Organic Life, the district’s food service management company.

The per meal rates for the breakfast program will increase from $1.3039 to $1.3221. The reimbursable lunch and a la carte equivalent rates will increase from $2.9883 to $3.0301 per meal. This increase is based on the allowable CPI of 1.4%. The summary of proposed costs can be viewed here.

SG 4: Stewardship of Resources
A Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the CCSD59 Board of Education and the CCSD59 Custodial and Maintenance Employee Organization (CAMEO) staff was discussed regarding surplus vacation days for CAMEO staff. The surplus resulted from workforce shortages connected to the global pandemic and staff being unable to utilize their full allotment of vacation days as typically planned.

The MOU allows a slight extension of time for CAMEO staff to utilize vacation days past the normal deadline for surplus days after meeting specific criteria.

The board approved the MOU, which became effective upon approval of the board and expires on August 2, 2021.
