Summary
At its Oct. 15 meeting the Dunlap Community Unit School District #323 Board unanimously approved a resolution of intent to issue up to $44,000,000 in funding bonds, authorized payment of $4,987,736.06 in bills and approved 2026 bus and fleet purchases; the board also approved personnel items and recessed to closed session.
The Dunlap Community Unit School District #323 Board of Education unanimously approved a Resolution of Intent to Issue Not to Exceed $44,000,000 in funding bonds and authorized payment of $4,987,736.06 in bills at its Oct. 15, 2025 regular meeting.
Board President Tom Feldman called the meeting to order at 6:05 p.m. and the board opened and quickly closed a public hearing on the proposed bond intent; there were no public comments. Later in the meeting, the board approved the bond resolution on a roll-call vote. The transcript records the motion to approve the bond resolution was moved by Andrew Tyra and seconded by Theresa Holshouser; the roll call recorded all seven members as Aye.
Why it matters: A resolution of intent signals the board—s formal authorization to move forward with bonding procedures; the meeting record does not specify the projects or capital needs to be funded by the proposed bonds. The board also acted on immediate district expenditures and fleet needs in the same session.
Key votes and actions: The board approved payment of the district—s bill list totaling $4,987,736.06 (motion moved by Mick Hall, seconded by Nicolas Yemm; roll-call vote: Holshouser, Feldman, Tyra, Hall, Wagenbach, Boudjarane, Yemm — Aye). The board approved the 2026 bus and fleet purchases (motion moved by Youssef Boudjarane, seconded by Theresa Holshouser; unanimous roll-call Aye). The board approved the Resolution of Intent to Issue Not to Exceed $44,000,000 in funding bonds (motion moved by Andrew Tyra, seconded by Theresa Holshouser; unanimous roll-call Aye).
The meeting recessed to closed session at 6:43 p.m. for personnel matters and returned to open session at 7:23 p.m. before approving a Human Resources consent agenda and adjourning at 7:24 p.m.
What the record does not show: The board—s recorded actions do not name specific capital projects or provide an expenditure plan for the proposed bond proceeds in the meeting transcript. The minutes note a construction update on the Dunlap Training Center earlier in the meeting but do not connect that update explicitly to the bond resolution.
Next steps: Approval of the resolution of intent is a procedural step; any future bond sale, final amounts, interest terms and project allocations would appear in subsequent board actions or notices.
