The Park Ridge CCSD 64 Board of Education approved the district’s March personnel report and four resolutions that effect dismissals and non-reemployment actions commonly done each spring.

Joel, speaking for Human Resources and administration, explained the annual practice: "This is the March personnel report is always the largest of the year. It's the time of year where we will honorably, dismiss our part time teachers, first year teaching assistants, and, part time non certified staff..." He said the practice is used because an Illinois school code deadline in April requires the district to guarantee exact full-time-equivalent positions if it has not acted by that date.

The motion presented to the board listed specific resolutions by number: Resolution 13-62 (honorable dismissal of teachers); Resolution 13-63 (dismissal of probationary educational support personnel employees); Resolution 13-64 (non-reemployment of part-time educational support personnel employees); and Resolution 13-65 (dismissal of first- and third-year probationary teachers Carly Kaye and Hannah Miller for reasons other than reduction in force).

A board member moved approval; another seconded. On roll-call the board approved the personnel report and the cited resolutions. The board president noted the personnel report is based on the recommendation of the superintendent and not on the board’s direct knowledge of any specific candidate.

Joel told the board that many of the employees listed for nonreemployment or dismissal are routinely rehired if positions return or are adjusted; the action preserves the district’s staffing flexibility under the April deadline.
