In a swearing-in ceremony, Amy Becker, Robert (Bob) Bruno, Jason Lobach and Chris Martelli were invited to the front of the table and read the board oath as a group. The board then nominated and confirmed officers: Robert Bruno was nominated and accepted the office of board president (a unanimous voice vote was recorded), Jason Lobach was nominated and recorded as vice president, and Julie Hill was nominated and recorded as secretary. Roll calls were requested and the clerk recorded unanimous votes where roll calls were taken.

Administrative appointments and governance items: the board moved to affirm Eric De Porter, assistant superintendent of finance, facilities and operations, as district treasurer; designate banks of depository (listed on the record as ISD LAF, BMO Harris, MBS, Fifth Third and Glen Ellen Bank and Trust); adopt the 2025–26 board meeting calendar as presented; and affirm the Board of Education code of conduct per board policy 2:80. Each motion was seconded and approved by recorded votes.

Election acceptance: the board also accepted the DuPage County Election Authority’s canvass of votes for the April election by motion and voice vote.

Recognition: the meeting included a public recognition of a departing member identified in the transcript as \"Doctor Michael,\" who was thanked by colleagues and students. In his remarks, Doctor Michael said he appreciated the opportunity to serve and told the board, “I appreciate the opportunity… I’m proud of the work that we have done for the young people of the district and the community that I care so much about.”

Why it matters: the reorganizational actions establish board leadership, administrative signatories and governance norms that guide district operations and legal responsibilities for the coming term.

What’s next: with officers and administrative appointments affirmed, the board proceeded to remaining agenda items at the meeting; the calendar and code of conduct will apply to the 2025–26 governance year as adopted on the record.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Regular Board Meeting - May 5th, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","At its May 5 reorganizational meeting, the Glen Ellyn School District 41 Board swore in new members, elected Robert (Bob) Bruno president, Jason Lobach vice president and Julie Hill secretary, affirmed Eric DePorter as treasurer, designated district banks and adopted the board code of conduct and calendar.","taxTitle","Glen Ellyn SD 41, School Boards, Illinois","taxId",74212,"location","Illinois","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":44,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6164842,"Board approves $900,000 contract to buy property on Saint Charles Road",80,1836000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5426954-bb5cf80a0b2a30c2d30972fca3dd5b13&start=1836&end=1916","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5426954-bb5cf80a0b2a30c2d30972fca3dd5b13/thumbnail_1836000.jpg","/articles/6164842/Illinois/Board-approves-900000-contract-to-buy-property-on-Saint-Charles-Road","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6164842-6defcf176ae7d075e58df5a35ce5d0f3/orig.mp4?Expires=1773614686&Signature=MsGnyQHOcs~lwy5GjWDMXeJ24jD7rKsXJ3GFwHa2gUmk-KxeZzjDzY6cgyxtvzZuP9KVMFe8FNqIQK06-fFY8dA7O2vsKBUXq8kfYMom5xRarHNQX3-HGyiHj8o78JyMhfkoA79LLRvvqSya6LCuAzMjAvlRMzLSH6b~zqNVp~W8fIYEh3fBu7kq1sCRugtYdi3mVckfzUxfWpkIhLrwldrWXxPUd-vupjtwPYmhMZdMXVqkCBSWkmCoEyALUls19xnmP8Ao-F2LQ6ZusvGTSHDmjG7bVGJI9Hz0~zX3lsxmNxZrPlGDbmrYBXxQ7JiKus7Oi4iK4ny0QUxCg8bQKw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Glen Ellyn School District 41 Board of Education voted May 5 to adopt a resolution approving a contract to purchase a parcel described in the motion as located at \"23 West 345 Saint Charles Road in Glen Ellyn\" for $900,000.

The actions, taken during the board’s reorganizational meeting, included: a $187,031, three‑year contract with IXL for K–8 digital licenses funded from the 2026 technology budget; a five‑year agreement with HMH for K–8 print materials and digital licensing and a one‑time purchase of Start Right readers for K–2 totaling $875,502 from the 2026 teaching, learning and accountability budget; a six‑year elementary social studies supplemental resource contract for $134,771 funded from the 2025 and 2026 teaching, learning and accountability budgets; and a yearly contract for elementary AEC student workbooks with Connected Mathematics Project at $12,882 from the same teaching, learning and accountability budget.

Why it matters: the purchases update core instructional resources and classroom software for elementary and middle grades, and the board identified existing district budget lines as the funding sources at the meeting.

Board procedure and votes: motions to approve each contract were made and seconded; roll-call votes recorded Board members as voting yes (listed in the actions section below). The motions passed and were announced as approved by the presiding officer.

Funding and scope details: the IXL contract covers digital licenses for K–8 for three years and is charged to the 2026 technology budget; the HMH agreement covers both print materials and digital licensing for K–8 and includes a one‑time purchase of Start Right readers for K–2; the elementary social studies resource is a six‑year package that includes print materials and professional development; the Connected Mathematics Project contract covers yearly student workbooks for AEC programs. The board report presented these items and identified the budget lines cited above as the funding sources.

No public comment on these items was recorded during the public participation portion of the meeting.

What’s next: each contract is effective as outlined in the board report; the board did not attach additional conditions or amendments on the record when approving the motions.","The Glen Ellyn School District 41 Board on May 5 approved a three‑year IXL license, extended HMH materials contract and three other curriculum purchases, funded from the district's technology and teaching, learning and accountability budgets.","actionData","errors"]
