Libertyville SD 70 board waives first reading and adopts Policy 2:150 on committees
Summary
The Libertyville SD 70 Board unanimously waived the first reading and approved Policy 2:150 (School Board: Committees) at its Jan. 26 meeting to meet a Jan. 30 compliance deadline; the board also approved the consent agenda and acknowledged six FOIA requests.
The Libertyville School District 70 Board of Education unanimously voted Jan. 26 to waive the first reading and adopt Policy 2:150, which establishes the district's standing board committees. The board acted at its regular meeting in the ERC boardroom, citing a Jan. 30, 2026 deadline to adopt the policy.
The board first approved the consent agenda by roll call before taking up the policy change. Vice-President Mr. McGhee moved to approve the consent agenda; Mr. Lawton seconded. The consent agenda covered the Dec. 15, 2025 minutes, finance reports (agenda of bills, payroll, budgetary, treasurer's report) and personnel items, including changes of assignment, resignations and new hires. On roll call all seven members voted aye and the motion carried.
Administration recommended waiving the first reading for Policy 2:150 on the grounds that the policy needed adoption by Jan. 30, 2026. Mr. Lawton moved to waive the first reading and Mr. McGhee seconded; the board voted unanimously to waive and approve the policy as presented (Board Report 8.1). Following that procedural motion, Mrs. Dahlke moved and Mr. McGhee seconded formal adoption of Policy 2:150 (Board Report 8.2); the motion passed on a unanimous roll-call vote.
The board's action implements the committee structure described in Policy 2:150; the district report indicated the change adds the existing Policy Committee and was presented as not requiring further board discussion prior to approval.
During the meeting the board also reported six FOIA requests for the month (see Board Report): requests included contact information for certified staff retiring in 2026, archival meeting minutes from 1969'070, vendor contracts exceeding $1,000 for the fiscal year, full-time aide contracts/collective bargaining agreements, paint purchase documents, and active employee records requested by third parties. No public presentations were made from the floor.
The board adjourned to closed session at 7:26 p.m. to discuss personnel and litigation and returned at 7:28 p.m.; the meeting was adjourned at 7:28 p.m.
