District 113A Board to Consider Staffing Plans, Construction Projects

The Board of Education in Lemont-Bromberek Combined School District 113A will discuss on Tuesday a series of summer construction projects and staffing plans for the upcoming year.

The school board will consider two staffing plans, one that includes the hiring of 8.6 additional certified staff members and another that includes two additional support staff members.

The staffing projections for the 2013-14 school year were included in the district's financial plan, which was approved by the Illinois State Board of Education on May 16. Although the overall staffing number remained the same, the administration has modified the recommended positions based on recent enrollment data and test scores.

District 113A board members will also be presented information on several proposed construction projects, which would cost an estimated $311,000.

The administration is recommending a roof replacement at Central School for $100,300 and cooling tower repairs at Old Quarry Middle School for $49,000. The district is also recommending asphalt repairs and replacement at Oakwood School, Old Quarry and the maintenance facility for a total cost of $162,000.

Also on the agenda Tuesday:

• A $200,000 transfter from the Operations and Maintenance Fund to the Transportation Fund to cover unexpected expenditures;

• The final amended FY13 budget, which includes an increase to transportation expenditures and a decrease to education fund expenditures for the removal of the budgeted five additional teachers salary and benefits;

• Approval of the final school calendar for 2012-13.

The District 113A school board will meet at 7 p.m. Tuesday at Old Quarry Middle School, 16100 127th St.
