Summary
The board opened a public hearing on plans to sell up to $60,000,000 in bonds to bring student-occupied facilities into compliance with the State Board of Education building code; no written or oral testimony was submitted and the hearing was adjourned by vote.
The Board of Education opened a public hearing on the district’s plan "to sell not to exceed $60,000,000 in bonds for the purpose of conforming its existing facilities that house students to the building code promulgated by the State Board of Education of the State of Illinois," the Chair said.
The Chair asked for written or oral testimony; staff reported there were no written submissions and no members of the public addressed the board during the hearing. Following that announcement, a motion to adjourn the hearing was moved, seconded and approved by roll call.
No substantive testimony was received and the hearing record will reflect the presentation and the absence of public comment. The board did not vote on issuing bonds at the meeting; the hearing was a required step to receive public input prior to any formal bond action.
