The board agreed to work with the Village of Flossmoor for an automated license plate reader that will be mounted on school property near the intersection of Flossmoor Road and Kedzie Avenue.
The board also approved a resolution for the transfer of $8.75 million in Working Cash Funds to the capital projects account. The amount will be withdrawn from the district’s cash reserves and will be used to pay off the science wing under construction.
The district already transferred $20 million in working cash bonds to the capital projects account to cover construction work in the North Building for updates to the fashion design, interior design and culinary kitchens and the bulk of the science wing expenses.
Correction: Jodi Bryant originally was identified as director of human resources. She is now director of special programs. The Chronicle apologizes for the error.
