Rich Township 227 Negotiations Report Highlights 11 Years No Walkouts
The Rich Township High School District 227 board heard a negotiations briefing by Associate Superintendent Greg Sloan noting 11 years of labor peace since the first professional negotiations agreement. Sloan credited board policies in selecting representation and keeping salaries competitive with south suburbs districts. The report described the district’s negotiation structure, rotation of administrator members, and the stance that the superintendent not sit at the table to avoid day-to-day tensions. A blueprint for an annual school plan included broad stakeholder participation through student councils, PTSA, faculty, and administrators. The board discussed resolutions, an executive-session appraisal, and personnel matters, while also noting upcoming cheerleading and pompon announcements for Huth Upper Grades center Matteson.

Drainage row lingers as village eyes underground sewers
In 1975 an executive session raised questions about engineer R W Robinson of South Holland and the Lioncrest project begun in 1968. The Pullman Heritage bank took over in 1975 and did not complete promised improvements. Officials said drainage ditches are clogged and need two storm sewers, cleaning, and culvert replacements at an estimated cost of about 20 000 dollars. Homeowners fear flooding persists even with drainage, citing a damming effect from 219th Street in Matteson and Commonwealth Edison access roads. The board asked Fleming and Burns to consult Commonwealth Edison about underroad drainage pipes, and Amerino urged weed clearing for inspection.
