Summary
The board approved the consent agenda, which included acceptance of the audit, authorization to solicit final electricity pricing with Cornerstone Energy Group, donations of backpacks and $500, inclusion of the MJHS chiller project in health-life-safety and a buildings-and-grounds truck purchase.
The Minooka Community Unit School District Board of Education approved its consent agenda, which included the audit acceptance (see separate coverage) and several administrative items staff described as preparatory steps or routine approvals.
On electricity procurement (agenda item 4.09), staff sought board authority to solicit final pricing from energy suppliers and continue working with Cornerstone Energy Group; the action authorized staff to pursue final pricing and to lock in rates when market conditions were advantageous, not to execute a purchase contract immediately.
The consent agenda also recorded donations: Teapod Management donated 50 backpacks with school supplies and Immediate Cure donated $500 to Minooka Junior High School. Staff noted these donations under acceptance of donations on the consent agenda.
Related to facilities, staff described a health-life-safety amendment adding the Manuka Junior High School chiller replacement to health-life-safety considerations; the project will be publicly bid in compliance with state bid regulations and an award will be returned to the board for approval when available. The board also approved purchase of a buildings-and-grounds truck intended to support grounds crew operations, snow removal and fleet capacity.
Board members approved the consent agenda by roll call.
