The USD 305 Board of Education approved a consent agenda that included several vendor encumbrances and contract renewals, voting 6-0.
Items approved included: Ray Roofing for guttering and materials at Hegeman Education Center ($30,000) and roof replacement at Stewart Elementary ($415,985); Logicalis for a Cisco maintenance contract renewal ($393,930.60); Eagle for a VMware software renewal ($76,201.66); and Optiv for load balancers ($27,848.20). The board also approved a CKCIE contract addendum with Presence Learning for additional speech teletherapy services ($97,273.80) and an out-of-state field trip for Central High Thespian students to Bloomington, Indiana, June 20-27, 2026. Board policies on second reading were also approved.
A motion to approve the consent agenda passed 6-0.
Why it matters: The purchases secure building repairs, network infrastructure and teletherapy services the district said are necessary for operations and student support. The Cisco and VMware renewals and the addition of load balancers are intended to maintain network reliability, and the teletherapy addendum expands speech services delivered via teletherapy.
Next steps: Contracts will proceed under standard procurement and payment processes; specific implementation timelines were not discussed at the meeting.
