Summary
The Community Unit School District 300 Board of Education approved a series of contract and bid renewals, authorized design work at a middle school, and approved a boundary change during its Jan. 21 meeting; the board then moved into closed session.
The Community Unit School District 300 Board of Education on Jan. 21 unanimously approved a package of contracts and bids, authorized the design phase for a parking-lot and traffic-pattern project at a middle school, approved a district boundary change and voted to go into closed session.
The approvals, taken during the board’s roll-call action items, included renewals and project contracts that the board said will support technology, grounds maintenance and facility improvements across the district. Each item passed on recorded roll calls with a 6-0 tally.
Key approved items included the Avid Services Agreement renewal, the CTIE equipment bid, a grounds supplies and equipment bid renewal, a seal-coating bid, a playground-equipment contract, a Technology Related Services contract, an exterior marquee sign project, initiation of the design phase for parking-lot and traffic-pattern improvements at DMS, and a boundary change. The board also approved the consent agenda earlier in the meeting. No votes on these items failed or were recorded as opposed or abstained.
Board members took a brief question before approving the design-phase authorization for DMS clarifying that the work is limited to on-campus traffic patterns and is not an extension of Recreation Drive. The board’s roll-call votes were recorded as aye for six members and no nay votes for each listed action.
After completing the public-facing business, the board voted to move into closed session to discuss personnel, collective bargaining and security-related topics and did not return to open session.
