A staff presenter summarized recent developments: many member districts have filed notices to preserve the option to withdraw while the cooperative’s governance model is reviewed; the True North governing body approved a bylaw change to streamline withdrawal by removing the requirement for a third-party evaluation; and the cooperative’s superintendent resigned and has left for another position. Andy Piper, identified as True North’s head of human resources, was named acting superintendent while the cooperative continues a search for an interim superintendent to serve through the period of governance review.
Staff emphasized that True North’s programs and placements for the coming school year will remain “status quo” and that decisions about placements are typically finalized in December. A report from a True North task force is expected to be shared with the Leadership Council at its August 22 meeting; staff said further updates will be provided to the board after that report is available.
The resolution to allow District 27 to explore withdrawal was approved by voice vote with all recorded members voting aye.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Northbrook School District 28 Board Meeting - 07/22/2025","oneSentenceSummary","The board approved a resolution permitting District 27 to begin the withdrawal process from True North Cooperative 804; staff said True North will operate as usual for the coming school year while governance and membership changes are reviewed and an interim superintendent search is underway.","taxTitle","Northbrook SD 28, School Boards, Illinois","taxId",60308,"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},6157876,"Board adopts tentative budget, approves consent agenda, phone support contract and policy updates",79,1667000,1746000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5463026-5daeab742a20fdd27715bca7991a6f4b&start=1667&end=1746","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5463026-5daeab742a20fdd27715bca7991a6f4b/thumbnail_1667000.jpg","/articles/6157876/Illinois/Board-adopts-tentative-budget-approves-consent-agenda-phone-support-contract-and-policy-updates","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6157876-3ebf19ad12be42b93d347226b88749a3/orig.mp4?Expires=1773689665&Signature=RvjiuJ9bm93piU4k0goyVNgmhY3ycBwDykG4csMtAYb0QTB0h080~AK8MDbCazWJz92MB6P39ZkjfvGdwitF-fasVkhrhiCi2d1hWAwNJ-VupyfW2bLj5KCC9V-e-QyG9-kWT2qP3AVJVIU8I4qq-~2XOAyKNeJtPz2dJkefTERzfMTMYGZbDf6P6S4k08flJ2bfYRsFPLGl7X87PHMBmTg4gyUPkJg8nVksytQD9jaeezmBT6S5f-9T25~2jY-plVmPmZKOjfQjIXLxnv-TRlYxmf43oL8tbaA3gF5fw19mQia9kdmtD2sfI8pMwh9fdcPJUOpAu~2WyT3Z7PEMxg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Board of Education voted to approve the minutes of the June 24, 2025 regular meeting, to adopt a tentative budget and to approve a series of consent items and contracts during its July meeting.
The minutes for the June 24 meeting were approved by voice vote with Member Bazer, Member Arms (listed in the record as \"Arms\"/\"Armes\"), Member Pfann Zalter, Member Horowitz and President Silverschack voting aye; Member Weinstock recorded an abstention. The board then approved the consent agenda after no items were pulled for discussion.
Jessica (finance presenter) reported unaudited figures for the month ending June: 98% of budgeted expenditures were expended and 95% of budgeted revenues were received; board members approved the finance report by voice vote.
The board adopted the tentative budget so it may be posted and used to operate under until formal adoption (the superintendent said the tentative budget will continue to evolve with local, state and federal changes and enrollment updates). The motion to adopt the tentative budget passed by voice vote with all recorded members voting aye.
The board approved a one-year renewal with BNB Networks for phone system support and maintenance, covering support and software licenses for the district’s Mitel voicemail and voice-over-IP phone system. The motion passed by voice vote with all members recorded as voting aye.
On policies, the board approved the packet of policy updates presented by the policy committee on final reading. The motion passed; one member recorded an abstention. No policy detail was changed on the floor during the meeting.
No actions at this meeting committed new spending beyond routine contract renewals or changed district policy wording; the tentative budget adoption allows staff to operate under a posted budget while staff continue to refine figures before final adoption.","The board approved minutes, the consent agenda, the finance report, a tentative budget for FY2025–26, an annual phone system support contract, and a package of policy updates; several motions passed by recorded voice votes with one abstention at the minutes and policy votes.",{"_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},6157881,"Neighbors ask for taller screening, clearer updates as Meadowbrook construction advances",193,1436000,1629000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5463026-5daeab742a20fdd27715bca7991a6f4b&start=1436&end=1629","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5463026-5daeab742a20fdd27715bca7991a6f4b/thumbnail_1436000.jpg","/articles/6157881/Illinois/Neighbors-ask-for-taller-screening-clearer-updates-as-Meadowbrook-construction-advances","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6157881-ca4da796ca0cc4f62c3a6dd4c379e79b/orig.mp4?Expires=1773689665&Signature=LPBCEP-2Xe2k81yIcXTsNhAdIFZeGYL1FZ0IXeOIcpQQIkwi55tz95F2JWa786zRnFA5YewR327N8gQN1nC6yKIQ4cvZR0k-9UaEGhYrtKtZdeBT7tIwYzaDGJHTf8sEWWorfzW35F2iXrItK0TdSQL4bYrLAZjDx-1JTri8kmRB-u02RwQtjZov574wPV9d7DVr2iJQ1XZNNi2OKhqc-v5i4Su0sOlEMal9K2tjb3xEOfj2x6vd4Pvzs1hCqoLPORanACpO44uYBUZNAhpVD8eBIvIWxP4uBPo3hd-nHanEL~L1W9j0De7jXIC7mXjn3vO-w4U4-pnZZKqZMEW3tA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Neighbors near the Meadowbrook school told the Board of Education they are concerned that planned landscaping and exterior finishes will not adequately screen the school construction from adjacent yards and asked the district to provide more regular construction updates.
The concerns focused on tree height and building finishes. A resident said the plan to install six-foot trees would not fully screen the site because neighboring yards sit about 3 to 5 feet higher than the Meadowbrook field line, meaning newly planted six-foot trees could effectively appear only about three feet above adjacent ground for several years. The resident also said the district has shifted exterior colors toward green and navy and requested that the northern side of the building — the side closest to neighbors — avoid visible colored paneling.
Superintendent (title only) responded that architects and district staff have met intermittently since the last board meeting and that the architects are preparing materials to present to the buildings and grounds committee “a few weeks before the next board meeting.” The superintendent said the district plans to continue providing community updates as information becomes available and noted Samantha, the district’s new director of communications, will help circulate updates to the public.
On scheduling, the superintendent told the board there have been only a couple of meetings between the architects and the district during the summer and that the buildings and grounds committee is expected to receive preliminary Meadowbrook designs before the next full board meeting. The superintendent said the district will share information with the community “as soon as we’re able to.”
The resident requested an explicit opportunity for neighbors to hear ongoing updates about collaboration and construction plans; the superintendent acknowledged the request and said staff would record and follow up on community concerns. No formal action or vote was taken on the screening or color requests during the meeting.","At a July board meeting neighbors raised concerns that proposed six-foot replacement trees and building paneling at Meadowbrook may not provide adequate visual screening; the superintendent said architects will present preliminary designs to the buildings and grounds committee in coming weeks and staff will provide community updates.","actionData","errors"]
