Two Northbrook districts approved to leave True North cooperative; two other withdrawal resolutions fail for lack of motion

Members of the governing body approved two resolutions allowing local school districts to withdraw from the True North Educational Cooperative and declined to act on two others after no members moved those resolutions.

The meeting record shows members approved resolution 25049, authorizing the proposed withdrawal of Northbrook Glenview School District 30 from True North Educational Cooperative, after a motion by Member Kamilevich and a second by Member Dolan. The roll call showed votes in favor by Members Moon, Dolan, Nelson, Kamilevich and Giulio; the motion carried.

Staff provided background before the votes, saying in part, “since the time that district 34, petitioned and and the, True North Special Education, Cooperative ... there have been 4 additional school districts, that are interested in, exiting the cooperative ... and have asked for action within, the 60 day time frame.” That statement tied the items on the agenda to earlier petitions from other districts.

Two subsequent withdrawal resolutions received no motions and therefore did not pass. The meeting record shows there was no motion on resolution 25050 regarding the proposed withdrawal of Bannockburn Elementary School District 106 and no motion on resolution 25051 regarding the proposed withdrawal of Deerfield Public School District 109; the chair clarified, “If there is no motions or seconds, it doesn't pass.”

A later resolution, 25052, proposing the withdrawal of Northbrook School District 27 from True North Educational Cooperative, was moved by Member Moon and seconded by Member Kamilevich. Roll-call votes in favor were recorded for Members Dolan, Giulio, Kamilevich, Moon and Nelson; the motion carried.

The meeting record does not specify the legal mechanism beyond references to a 60-day time frame or list details about what withdrawal will mean for contracts, program delivery, student services, or required approvals by other entities. No public commenters spoke on the agenda items during the meeting, and the body moved on to other business after the roll calls.

Meeting participants did not articulate next steps beyond passage or non-passage of each resolution during the session. The transcript indicates that four additional districts had requested withdrawal action within the cited 60-day window, but it does not list follow-up deadlines, implementation steps, or external approvals required to finalize the withdrawals.

Attendance, minutes and consent items on the rest of the agenda were approved earlier in the session; the transcript contains no public-comment testimony about the cooperative withdrawals.
