The Township High School District 211 Board of Education on a recorded roll call approved a contract with Finalsite to rebuild the district websites, operate the district mass‑communication platform and create and maintain a customizable mobile application. The board approved an initial rebuild and hosting cost of $77,840 for the period July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2026, and a contiguous renewal schedule for subsequent years.

The board approved an additional four‑year renewal schedule with the following costs: $151,506 for 2026–27; $52,398 for 2027–28; $53,318 for 2028–29; and $54,267 for 2029–30. The contract includes a one‑time rebuild fee and a clause allowing the district to cancel renewal in any year with at least 90 days’ written notice prior to the new term. The agenda item identified the rebuild, hosting, mass‑communication platform and mobile app as a single bundled procurement.

Board members discussed the long‑standing desire among parents and district stakeholders for a mobile application and improved communications; the board record shows approval without additional budget breakdown or department assignment in the motion. The motion was approved by roll call: Ms. Lopez, Ms. Baron, Mr. Van Dyke, Ms. Russell, Mr. Dombrowski and Ms. Cavill all voted Aye.

The agenda described the mobile application as a deliverable requested in prior strategic planning outreach but did not provide further technical specifications, performance metrics, or a department responsible for implementation in the public motion. The board did not specify funding source line items during the motion on the record.

Board members or staff may provide additional implementation details, timeline and assigned department in upcoming communications or at future meetings.
