The Moline‑Coal Valley CUSD 40 Board of Education approved several routine items and a contract recommendation during its meeting.
Architect services: The board recommended engaging architects for schematic design services for a Wilson Middle School secure‑entry project at a proposed cost of $48,500. The motion was called and taken to roll call; design work will be returned for board consideration as it advances.
Insurance renewals and premiums: The board approved the district insurance committee’s recommendations for 2025 changes, including an increase in premium contributions for active employees and retirees under‑65. The board also approved a projected $589,543 renewal with MetLife for group dental insurance and a voluntary vision plan renewal with UnitedHealthcare for 2025. The board discussed a health‑insurance renewal citing a stop‑loss shift from Blue Cross Blue Shield and recorded a projected cost of $480,410.76 for 2025. The board also approved renewal of prescription drug coverage for retirees (Medicare‑eligible).
Policy: Board Policy 4 1 40 (waiver of student fees) was presented as a revised first reading to correct language identified through an audit of policies; members asked staff to ensure families can access information about fee waivers and requested the item be returned for a formal vote after additional review.
Votes: Roll call votes were recorded for the insurance and benefit items; members present—whose names were read during roll call—voted Aye on these consent items. The meeting transcript records named board members during roll calls (for example, Ramona Dixon, Jason Farrell, Lindsay Hines and others) and Aye responses but does not list formal nay votes in the recorded segments.
No contested motions or defeats were recorded for the listed items at this meeting; staff indicated that a number of approvals were routine renewals recommended by standing committees.
