Dr. Rigg, Deer Path assistant principal, explained the school's short-term improvement goal: \"By June 2025, teachers will implement at least one innovative assessment besides traditional tests and quizzes.\" Fifth-graders presented \"bottle people\" projects about figures such as J.K. Rowling, Satoshi Tajiri and athletes; third-graders displayed 3-D \"geometry towns\" demonstrating shapes and signage; and fourth-graders demonstrated YOTO (a handheld audio storytelling/player) use for listening and fluency supports.

Students described their work in brief presentations. \"My name is Travis from fifth grade District 26. I created my J.K. Rowling project from a bottle in order to show how she wrote her books and about her life,\" one fifth-grader said. Another student explained that the geometry town project required students to \"make road and stop signs, then we had to upload it to Seesaw.\" Paige Martel, the EL resource teacher at Deer Path, introduced the fourth-grade \"YOTO experts\" and described classroom uses for the audio players including story listening, small-group centers and background sounds.

Superintendent Dr. White and trustees praised the students and teachers for creative assessment approaches and engaging families. Board members said the presentations demonstrated the district's efforts to diversify how students show mastery and foster creativity.

The presentation was part of the meeting's school-spotlight segment; board members later thanked Deer Path staff and families during their comments.","Students from Deer Path Elementary demonstrated project-based and technology-supported assessments — including \"bottle people\" biographies, geometry towns and YOTO audio players — as part of the district's short-term school improvement goal to diversify assessments.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6228034,"Cary 26 board holds organization meeting; Dee Darling elected president, committee roles assigned",638,1009000,1647000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3477949-4b6aa7218f57da157b462653fbd7a68f&start=1009&end=1647","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3477949-4b6aa7218f57da157b462653fbd7a68f/thumbnail_1009000.jpg","/articles/6228034/Illinois/Cary-26-board-holds-organization-meeting-Dee-Darling-elected-president-committee-roles-assigned","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6228034-ebf3422cb731baa28664cba3dc98d9ad/orig.mp4?Expires=1771042102&Signature=NfX6zWKbzL6sozS0tg2dxfKIZcnog9qKn37R-oStnp40Brk-BcaivjaRgtzEa48ZMfCtt91RXkJL6aPsH0uT55Q70iAtBjsrsJdYd6eGb9fWRSOyJjjaVvC2R7RZQZUepLyNMFpH4CgbMnOulTc2yv8rRWbLwlakvVO1CXky7ixB94~XVErbi3XoHmtAUmKMrORVEc32aln8OeN6Nqtxqn-HXyL9LQGefx2u0ikPZD6WihEp24pRX1Vsicg1oCjDPMyH4kW0JjPHOf6qNt-QQRpWxJxt~bZXv8i-ZZy1N~qpy-HxTFjIoqM43YNeTIL5hPfkSwDYEL7HIzjJkJmMPQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Cary Community Consolidated School District 26 Board of Education on April 28 certified the consolidated election results, administered oaths of office to newly elected members and completed its annual organization meeting. The McHenry County Clerk certified that 35,177 ballots were cast in the consolidated election; the clerk's certification name-checked those elected from the district's races.

The board formally swore in Bridget Sandlin and other newly elected trustees and then held officer elections. Dee Darling was elected board president; Mindy Hartman was elected vice president; and Julie Jetty was elected secretary. The board also appointed David Shepherd as treasurer and Laura Dorpler as recording secretary pro tem. Chairmanships and committee assignments were announced: Jason Jancic as finance chair, Julie Jetty as curriculum chair, Catherine Potter as policy chair and appointments to insurance, community engagement, technology, ethics commission and legislative liaison roles were made.

The board set regular meeting dates for the 2025–26 school year, scheduling monthly meetings to begin at 6 p.m. at Cary Junior High. Trustees agreed to adjust the August meeting calendar to move the Committee of the Whole to Aug. 11, 2025, and the regular board meeting to Aug. 25, 2025, to avoid conflict with back-to-school events. Administration agreed to confirm availability and provide reports on the adjusted schedule.

Board members congratulated outgoing trustee Anne Santucci for four years of service and thanked Deer Path School students and staff for school-spotlight presentations earlier in the meeting.

The organization meeting fulfilled Open Meetings Act requirements to elect officers and put the board in place for the upcoming school year.","After certifying April 1 election results, the Cary CCSD 26 Board of Education swore in new members, elected Dee Darling as board president, and assigned committee chairs and representatives for the 2025–26 school year.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":105,"_47":106,"_49":107,"_51":108,"_53":109,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":110,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":111,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6228039,"Cary 26 board moves policy exhibits to administrative procedures, approves several policy updates",247,3616000,3863000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3477949-4b6aa7218f57da157b462653fbd7a68f&start=3616&end=3863","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3477949-4b6aa7218f57da157b462653fbd7a68f/thumbnail_3616000.jpg","/articles/6228039/Illinois/Cary-26-board-moves-policy-exhibits-to-administrative-procedures-approves-several-policy-updates","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6228039-6ec1eacee7781d2d07df1daaff97e8c2/orig.mp4?Expires=1771042102&Signature=kOkbwCe-ruuKgjS6XSdzMVtgzcu6eGje2Fk71JR9bXiHYk9B6DIuClZ3atGtaeEyZ~ZjJrGBqoPO5MWmdVmjfji8ycxjUO37KHlqr~Hw7VKVanFQfdVfY-701VWsO3UoRDOV64BkWkpAfNvmkHlmR7dQjw-c3iFPnjCxjbQ9pPVBuidyplS9Zx49hkvnIe3PKC15EefoiAAOn3gKkPmlJi8NJo3ha82MyLNCjtVAIJVwVoVjI8la7LTMLMOknSy5byPVWq73IiqsZhXygiKIlWwFrbfwjg8oP34PKAGnYxcf26a-R2dnC7qR4P8whsnuO8IIghPnyOVl4dPbjZjMHw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Cary Community Consolidated School District 26 Board of Education on April 28 voted to move most policy exhibits out of the policy manual and into an administrative procedural manual and approved several policy actions intended to streamline updates and align with IASB (press plus) practices.

Board members discussed whether exhibits should remain in the policy manual or be maintained in the administrative procedural manual where they can be updated more frequently by administrators. Dr. White and staff reported they had consulted Nick Bauman at the Illinois Association of School Boards (IASB) about the process and were advised that exhibits can legally be maintained in either location and that press-plus updates could include procedures and exhibits once the district finishes the procedural manual project.

The board voted to move the exhibits into the administrative procedural manual \"unless otherwise required to remain in the policy manual,\" with members noting moving them prior to a larger procedural manual revision would allow exhibits to be updated as press packets are issued. The motion carried on a recorded voice/roll vote with board members voting in favor.

Separately, the board approved adding an exhibit checklist tied to policy 3:40 (superintendent employment contract negotiation process). That item will be incorporated into the policy/procedural materials and, per board discussion, will be handled together with other exhibits as the procedural manual is consolidated.

The board considered proposed language for policy 4:50 (payment procedure). Trustees debated restoring district-specific language that would authorize certain payments without prior board approval. Business office staff expressed concern that overly restrictive language could impede timely payments for items such as federal grants or other required expenditures. The board took a vote on the proposed 4:50 wording and the motion did not pass.

On policy 4:60 (purchases and contracts) the board discussed the addition of district-specific language and a vendor/contractor conflict-of-interest clause. Members agreed to an amendment that removed three restrictive paragraphs while keeping the vendor/contractor conflict-of-interest language; that amended version passed. Board members and staff noted that state bidding laws (for example, statutory thresholds for competitive bidding) remain in effect and that the policy changes were not intended to replace statutory procurement requirements.

On policy 4:140 (waiver of student fees) the board approved amended language to require the superintendent to present the proposed fee schedule to the board no later than the February board meeting to allow planning by the district, board and families.

Board discussion repeatedly emphasized maintaining administrative flexibility for routine operations while ensuring that the board receives timely notice of significant contractual or budgetary commitments.","The Cary Community Consolidated School District 26 Board voted to move exhibits from the policy manual to an administrative procedural manual and took action on several related policies, including an exhibit checklist for superintendent contracts and revisions to purchasing and fee policies.",{"_33":113,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":114,"_41":115,"_43":116,"_45":117,"_47":118,"_49":119,"_51":120,"_53":121,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":122,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":123,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6228044,"Cary 26 board approves $768,366.76 security camera installation contract",195,3219000,3414000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3477949-4b6aa7218f57da157b462653fbd7a68f&start=3219&end=3414","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3477949-4b6aa7218f57da157b462653fbd7a68f/thumbnail_3219000.jpg","/articles/6228044/Illinois/Cary-26-board-approves-76836676-security-camera-installation-contract","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6228044-8a9c8a5c5b5b5e45859145d393dcfd24/orig.mp4?Expires=1771042102&Signature=T6yfob66~ASWXHmRlydja2RB07I9nXDE8qefU5pSdbuqYTiOfjS09Nk0FsXVV7T5rcQ7ivQDJUWaOu5PnkLedQqMHqIUi5QRfGhR9QwXKOQRXEY9gXpdQ1WYeSBFDq2FCvEA4Zu19jUJfzHkMzL8XNRApD0di74ycY~w2my7G88iOE7ptQ4lGY3a48~0QkF~0I3kZyAtw-CX7Gg~rXh9fhuYdM1jP0Eu9oE~mi056MKgHIS57A6WgxQOXUNARcVHADnm2OvqCLAHsbc7V9SwexYYWZv0MvS1dlyg3r21K~ZwFilEJni22jmgwxKWyldPNqsC3l-6Q-tiV07LiTnXjQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Cary Community Consolidated School District 26 Board of Education on April 28 approved a $768,366.76 contract with PACE Systems to expand security camera systems to Briargate, 3 Oaks and Oak Knoll elementary schools.

The contract, presented by David Shepherd, the district treasurer, covers cameras, software and upgrades tied to work promised in the district referendum. Shepherd told the board the total cost \"comes out to about $768,366.76.\" The board approved the purchase by voice vote.

The board heard that the district already has a camera system in use at Cary Junior High and wants to extend similar systems to three elementary schools after recent and planned facility renovations. Shepherd said the district solicited bids and received one proposal from PACE Systems, the company that installed the junior high system.

Board members asked about operational details. When asked whether the cameras can generate alerts for detected activity, Shepherd said the system can be configured to flag movement and that administrators can review recorded footage and timestamps. He also said he believes the cameras include night-vision capability.

The motion to approve the PACE Systems bid was moved and seconded; recorded roll-call votes were all in favor: Dee Darling, Mindy Hartman, Catherine Potter, Stacy Salt, Julie Jetty, Jason Jancic and Bridget Sandlin voted yes and the motion carried.

The approval authorizes district staff to execute the contract and proceed with procurement and installation work as included in the bid package. Details about a timetable for installation and final commissioning were discussed as part of implementation planning but specific completion dates were not specified in the meeting record.","The Cary Community Consolidated School District 26 Board of Education approved a $768,366.76 contract with PACE Systems to install security cameras and related software at three elementary schools as part of referendum-funded safety upgrades.","actionData","errors"]
