Summary
The District 46 Board on Feb. 11 approved the 2026–27 school calendar (waiving certain legal holidays), awarded a rooftop-unit contract for Prairie View to Premistar, and passed Press Plus policy updates while removing policy 2:150 for further review. All actions passed on vocal roll calls.
The Grayslake Community Consolidated School District 46 Board of Education on Feb. 11 approved three formal actions: the 2026–27 school calendar (which waives several legal holidays as described in the meeting materials), a contract award for three rooftop HVAC units at Prairie View to Premistar, and a bundle of Press Plus policy updates with one policy pulled for later consideration.
The board president (name not stated in the transcript) called for a vote on the proposed 2026–27 calendar, including waivers of legal holidays referenced in the meeting as "public act 90 six-six 40." Members who responded aloud during the roll-call-style affirmation were Mr. Weidman, Mr. Miller, Mr. Mack, Ms. Nash, Mr. Braden, Mr. Heughan and Mrs. Halverson; the chair announced the motion carried.
Also approved was the contract award to Premistar for three rooftop units at Prairie View. A motion to award the contract was moved and seconded and members again gave vocal affirmative votes before the chair declared the motion carried.
On policy matters, the board approved the Press Plus Policy Updates (01/2020) after administration summarized two clarifications: adding the word "district" in policy 6:260 to align with the Uniform Grievance Procedure and the curricular-policy language in 6:60 that treats the Irish famine as an optional unit (default "no"). The board amended the motion to remove policy 2:150 (committees) for further consideration; the amended motion passed on vocal affirmation.
All of the above passed on vocal roll-call-style affirmations in open session; the chair announced the motions carried. The consent agenda (which included a personnel addendum) was approved earlier in the meeting.
What's next: Several items discussed in open session will return to a future meeting for follow-up. The board scheduled further work on policy cross-references and will bring some items back at the Feb. 25 meeting for action.
Vote tallies (as recorded verbally in the public transcript) — calendar approval: Weidman (Aye), Miller (Aye), Mack (Aye), Nash (Aye), Braden (Aye), Heughan (Aye), Halverson (Aye) — motion carries. Rooftop-unit contract: vocal affirmations recorded from multiple members and the chair announced the motion carries. Press Plus policies (amended): vocal affirmations recorded and chair announced the motion carries.
