Oak Park D97 approves consent agenda: search contract, curriculum pilot, vehicle purchases
Summary
The Oak Park Elementary School District 97 Board approved its consent agenda on Oct. 14, including a superintendent-search services agreement with the Illinois School Board Association, a K–5 Desmos math pilot resource purchase, and two state-contract vehicle purchases. Board members clarified contract totals and voted to proceed.
At its Oct. 14 meeting the Oak Park Elementary School District 97 Board approved the consent agenda, covering routine business and three items discussed in the meeting: a superintendent-search services agreement with the Illinois School Board Association (ISBA), the purchase of K–5 Desmos math pilot materials, and state-contract vehicle purchases.
The board approved a motion to retain ISBA for superintendent-search services. Administrators presented a base figure shown in agenda materials ($10,500) and a menu of additional services; board members noted the menu could add to the total, and discussion clarified that the contract sum could vary depending on add-on services. The motion approved the agreement with ISBA "as outlined" and subject to additional costs where selected.
The board also approved purchasing a K–5 mathematics pilot (Desmos Math from Amplify) with an additional cost not to exceed $11,832, bringing the vendor total presented to $34,142. Separately, the board approved the purchase of a Ford F-350 and a Ford E-Transit van under state contracts, for a combined amount of $131,089, as listed in the agenda packet.
Board members voted on the consent agenda by roll call; members recorded as voting yes in the transcript include Purdy, Moore, Spurlock, Ross Dribben, Kurt Jackson and others as called in roll-call. The board president then moved to the next business items.
