Dunlap CUSD 323’s Board of Education approved several routine and substantive items during its meeting.

The board approved the payment of bills and accepted the treasurer’s report, approving disbursements totaling $5,687,950.19. Trustees also approved the 2026–27 course selection guide as presented.

On capital financing, the board adopted a resolution designating county school facility sales tax receipts as an alternate revenue source to pay Series 2018 bonds so the county clerk will not assess those bond payments to taxpayers. Administration said the payment is roughly $90,000 a month and recent sales tax distributions were approximately $190,000, which fund capital projects.

The board authorized the Illinois Association of School Boards (IASB) professional services contract to conduct a superintendent search; members discussed timeline options and the vendor’s process and directed staff to proceed after contract execution.

The board approved an out‑of‑state trip for the Dunlap High School varsity baseball team after asking about district financial exposure; administrators said the trip would not be paid with district general funds but the district would provide transportation (fuel/driver costs). The human resources consent agenda was moved and approved. The meeting concluded with motions for adjournment for the holidays.
