DuPage District 88 board approves Canon copier lease, adopts sponsorship policy updates and passes consent agenda

At its meeting, the DuPage High School District 88 Board of Education approved three formal items: establishment and approval of a consent agenda, acceptance of a Canon proposal to lease additional copiers and accessories, and adoption of revised board policies 8.25 and 8.8.

The board voted to establish and then approve a consent agenda containing routine matters and previously discussed items. Roll calls recorded in open session show the motions passed by affirmative votes from listed board members.

Nut graf: The board’s business included a vendor contract to lease additional copiers and a policy change allowing the district to consider designated sponsorships or donations for specific programs; both actions passed on roll-call votes and do not change curriculum or student services directly but affect procurement and fundraising options.

Canon copier lease: The board accepted a proposal from Canon to lease four additional copiers, two PaperCut licenses and 17 hole-puncher accessories for Addison Trail and Willowbrook High Schools at an additional cost of $653.24 per month for 58 months. The district will return two previous units that “did not meet our needs,” which will reduce the original lease by $78.82 per month, according to staff. The pricing was provided through a contract with Omnia Partners, a public purchasing cooperative. The motion to accept the Canon proposal passed on a roll call with recorded “yes” votes from Taylor, Gallivan, Olsen, Heuer, Finnegan, Stout and Kane.

Policy updates: The board voted to adopt updated board policies 8.25 and 8.8, which staff said would allow the board to consider advertising, sponsorships and designated donations for specific district programs on a case-by-case basis while maintaining board control over acceptance. The motion to adopt the updated policies passed on a roll call with recorded “yes” votes from Gallivan, Olsen, Poyer, Finnegan, Stout, Taylor and King.

Consent agenda: The board first moved to establish a consent agenda and then moved to approve it; recorded roll calls on those motions showed affirmative votes (names recorded in the transcript include Stout, Taylor, Gallivan/Gullivant, Olsen, Poyer, Finnegan and Kane). The board chair noted one board member’s comment that the shared services report is an important district item.

No further fiscal amounts or vendor contract details beyond the Canon monthly cost and lease term were presented in the public portion of the meeting. The board then moved into a closed session for personnel, negotiations and security matters and later adjourned without further public action.
