Summary
The board adopted the agenda, approved Dec. 16, 2025 minutes, approved multiple consent items (including bid packages and alternates for the CTE building expansion) by roll call, and adjourned. Several motions were handled by honors/omnibus vote.
The East St. Louis SD 189 board conducted routine business and approved a series of motions by roll call during the meeting.
Early in the meeting the board adopted the agenda (motion by Willie Ray, second by Walter Hood) and later approved the Dec. 16, 2025 minutes (motion by Walter Hood, second by Willie Ray).
Following presentations on capital projects and bond options, the board approved multiple action items by honors vote after staff requested an omnibus approval (items 12a, 12b, 13a, 14a, 15a, 15b, 15c). The board then approved a motion to accept specific bid packages and alternates for the CTE building expansion as recommended by Holland Construction (listed in the agenda as bid packages and alternates), along with committee reports and financial items. A procedural discussion occurred about waiving a fee for a community program; board members confirmed the district routinely waives that fee for students and community events.
Remi Dean moved to adjourn, Willie Ray seconded, roll call was taken and the meeting was declared adjourned. The board set its next regular meeting for Feb. 17, 2026.
