The board approved intergovernmental agreements: one with District 120 for itinerant hearing services and another with Districts 70 and 120 for physical-therapy services. District staff said the agreements mirror prior-year arrangements and enable the districts to share specialized positions and avoid duplicative hiring.

The board also approved the annual Lake County indemnification agreement; district staff described it as a standing arrangement under which Lake County withholds permits for certain developments unless the district confirms there is no objection, and the county seeks indemnification from the district in the event of litigation. The staff said the agreement has not been used in recent memory.

Dan Stanley presented the treasurer’s bond coverage, explaining state law requires bonding for the treasurer. The board approved coverage of $11,000,000 with a premium of $6,600, which Stanley said is based on 10% of the district’s most recent June 30 balance.

The board also approved routine employment items that had not been included on the consent agenda and then approved the consent vote agenda itself by roll call. All items were approved with recorded roll-call votes and no amendments were introduced at the May 19 meeting.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","May 2025 Regular Meeting of the D128 School Board with Audio Descriptions","oneSentenceSummary","The board approved multiple routine items including intergovernmental agreements for itinerant hearing services and physical therapists with neighboring districts, an annual Lake County indemnification agreement, and the district treasurer’s bond; the board also approved employment items and the consent agenda.","taxTitle","CHSD 128, School Boards, Illinois","taxId",74239,"location","Illinois","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6225499,"District 128 board signs off on consolidated district plan so it can apply for federal grants",79,2678000,2757000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3536938-f3c5dd3df293a2acb21c9b341918fdf1&start=2678&end=2757","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3536938-f3c5dd3df293a2acb21c9b341918fdf1/thumbnail_2678000.jpg","/articles/6225499/Illinois/District-128-board-signs-off-on-consolidated-district-plan-so-it-can-apply-for-federal-grants","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6225499-5d4f1af7ce5e78e935c4206e3f9d0f43/orig.mp4?Expires=1770824533&Signature=oV2GFhnG2gbWXiV5CGMz-zxtkMfcx2G5pmkdFjXFUN8mXeq4mqRJjXBTIKDwUUu4KorlCv~UUc9Lus00IapPzL85jd1UkRRscCqug~cRYOKtMAlc~71M-nXFToszGVu7Noa8-s8JwVSYDTLb98cnXabPWPrI2AuTJPqSi~T0XfBh2RRdVYT~FGJrMQxo-dZqAtKb~UsafObTls9i4RIJCLrhwIGia9bth7H5hbAvgcegM85p8PEdNUY4fBzgYMxhN-1yqkWhvSllPumMYfV9~dnPoeUn3HQacpYoDTG2q~wbUGsDPnXfbqruwxs8XHCQ4HjD6O0i3YwSxHHFzataAg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Community High School District 128’s board on May 19 approved its coordinated consolidated district plan, a procedural document required by the Illinois State Board of Education before districts may apply for federal Title and special education grants for fiscal 2026.

Dan Stanley, district finance staff, described the plan as a “coordinated district plan” intended to ensure district departments and local partners do not duplicate grant-funded activities and to outline how the district will use federal Title and special needs funds. Stanley told the board that the plan’s proposed uses are substantially the same as in prior years and that the board’s approval is required before the district files grant applications.

Board member Lisa Hessel moved to approve the FY2025–26 consolidated district plan; a second was recorded and the board approved the plan by roll call. District staff said they will update the document with current figures and return with fuller analysis before final budget adoption.

The consolidated plan is an administrative requirement; the board’s action enables district administrators to proceed with federal grant applications for the coming fiscal year. No new programs or significant changes to grant-funded uses were introduced at the May 19 meeting.","The board approved the district’s coordinated (consolidated) plan required by the Illinois State Board of Education, allowing staff to submit FY26 federal grant applications; the plan reflects continuing uses of Title and special education grant funds and did not include substantive program changes.",{"_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},6225504,"District 128 approves $8 million transfer from education fund to operations and maintenance",61,503000,564000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3536938-f3c5dd3df293a2acb21c9b341918fdf1&start=503&end=564","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3536938-f3c5dd3df293a2acb21c9b341918fdf1/thumbnail_503000.jpg","/articles/6225504/Illinois/District-128-approves-8-million-transfer-from-education-fund-to-operations-and-maintenance","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6225504-c9c318718a158a24b8949ed484e621fd/orig.mp4?Expires=1770824533&Signature=H2e8AJqDXXZKAnb8rqJbEGBSn7iZoRoxbh7E04ZM0v-6EN2ABpfWad6tUiNYUposzemrKqKdqTl~NUKwHyAhndFRtKX~~NAlmXGrLD650gqK~Qcy1ohp2z40rmjLgFUs6D4vsuLisKLuyRRiMFDocLVxiKTRNvOGASD9Z4JYxo1~o69VdLoBnsVy2B3B7RkYdECYDQiV2yfyiEwqeyPBkJFie5ckgBHDgvESK1sSf9s8FwQCkfO~lVmLrsNw-AoT2tACa67tEAvnf1SaJyMbryWK2c45AJwW2gFWaSkx5OBwSrzxpufimfRYBL4jsP0~9vX4nuin8oOK9ArPsrVKSw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Community High School District 128’s board voted May 19 to transfer $8,000,000 from the district’s education fund to its operations and maintenance fund to pay for the Libertyville High School cafeteria project.

District finance staff opened a public hearing on the transfer at the start of the meeting and explained that Illinois law permits interfund transfers when the board passes a resolution and holds a public hearing. No members of the public offered comments specific to the fund-transfer hearing, and the board subsequently closed the hearing before taking formal action later in the agenda.

Dan Stanley, who identified himself as the district treasurer during the meeting, told the board the district is using fund-balance cash from the education fund for the cafeteria project and therefore requires the interfund transfer to move those dollars into the operations and maintenance fund for payment.

After the hearing, a board member moved to approve a resolution authorizing the transfer of $8,000,000 from the education fund to the operations and maintenance fund. The motion passed by roll call vote; members voting in favor were recorded during the meeting.

District staff noted this transfer follows statutory procedures and is a routine step to align fund balances with project expenditures. The board also separately approved a resolution authorizing the earlier transfer of interest from the working cash fund into the education fund as part of routine annual cash-management tasks.

The transfer will be recorded in district fiscal-year accounting and is intended to fund the LHS cafeteria project; staff did not present additional amendments or conditions at the May 19 meeting.","The board approved a resolution transferring $8,000,000 from the district’s education fund to its operations and maintenance fund after a public hearing; the transfer is part of financing for the Libertyville High School cafeteria project and follows statutory public-hearing requirements for interfund transfers.",{"_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},6225509,"District 128 board approves RISE Aquatics agreement; parents press for Vernon Hills pool access",574,590000,1164000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3536938-f3c5dd3df293a2acb21c9b341918fdf1&start=590&end=1164","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3536938-f3c5dd3df293a2acb21c9b341918fdf1/thumbnail_590000.jpg","/articles/6225509/Illinois/District-128-board-approves-RISE-Aquatics-agreement-parents-press-for-Vernon-Hills-pool-access","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6225509-c044c97c4c44bd3566c53b3ea46aabd9/orig.mp4?Expires=1770824533&Signature=CbUEwvDQPb2rt0odzCaGQIPFokp9WsJJRiEkxK2Bgx8vHwqUBbInVQA5eYwNFnJnDYZMVCc7ByUek8yZUN6IPY~Q3djmrHgu-xUsMv5H1S3KVBdm33CNG05GYtXVIPsPk8~6VLxjvZ0Ibva6a1eV1gT~WFMehhq4zV2gkAsuY93j01XjMVDqQPYHm6mXJjdxmCWyJjfB5reEqJcG~unjCsfogfIqz3R7r5SmA62yMn7ndzsUbC89GxDLD87~O7nL0o2WowqcHEU1i30OaXygIBKbENLCltCPtRhAFIt2D0oyMK8PkSA4ncrJJnsQv2JmzLAZhRvYaCS9PUK5kAT4rQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Community High School District 128’s board on May 19 approved a one-year agreement with RISE Aquatics Club that keeps the club’s primary pool use at Libertyville High School but leaves room in the contract for future use of Vernon Hills High School if space becomes available.

The agreement was approved after a motion to accept the contract and a voice roll call; the board vote was recorded as unanimous in favor. The contract was presented by district staff and described as the continuation of a multi-year relationship with RISE Aquatics Club, with primary operations centered at Libertyville.

The item drew several public comments from swimmers, parents and the Vernon Hills Park District. Jack Janzen, identified as a freshman swimmer at Vernon Hills High School, described the varsity swimmers’ training regimen and said a RISE partnership would “massively benefit” Vernon Hills swimmers, noting RISE had recently turned away more than 100 prospective swimmers because of limited space. “Imagine what we could achieve with the right tools in our hands,” Janzen said.

Parent Andrew Spivak urged the board to extend the contract so RISE could resume use of the Vernon Hills pool, saying the club previously brought meets and revenue-generating events to the community and that the club had contributed equipment and facility improvements in the past. “It makes it not as special” when swimmers cannot practice in their own high school pool, Spivak said.

Parent Gwen Janssen, who said she has swimmers in both the Vernon Hills and park-district programs, framed her remarks as coming from a District 128 taxpayer perspective. She called RISE a long-standing local partner and said the current arrangement “creates more division between our two fantastic high schools and causes a significant inequity of opportunity and support.”

Matt Laporte, executive director of the Vernon Hills Park District, described the park district’s Turtle Swim Club and its shared-use relationship with District 128 facilities. Laporte said the Turtle program serves more than 100 youth per season, that roughly 80% of participants attend District 128 schools, and that the park district’s shared-use agreements save taxpayer dollars and expand access to recreation. He said Libertyville’s larger pool makes it a logical primary home for RISE but that complementary programming benefits both communities.

District staff told the board the written agreement gives RISE primary access at Libertyville High School but includes flexibility to expand into Vernon Hills if pool time becomes available. The board approved the motion to adopt the agreement by roll call vote.

The board did not adopt any additional conditions on the contract at the May 19 meeting; district staff and park-district representatives will be the point people for any follow-up about scheduling or facility improvements.

The RISE Aquatics agreement is scheduled to cover the 2025–26 season; any future changes in pool use would require coordination among the club, the district and the park district.","Community High School District 128 approved a renewed agreement with RISE Aquatics Club that primarily secures pool access at Libertyville High School; parents and swimmers urged the district and park district to restore or expand RISE use at Vernon Hills High School to increase capacity and revenue for local businesses.","actionData","errors"]
