Sandwich board approves STR 10‑year HLS list; administration says estimated cost is $17.5 million
Summary
The Sandwich Community School District 430 Board unanimously approved a 10‑year HLS list prepared by STR with an estimated $17.5 million cost; Superintendent Janisch and Finance Director Garrett Ryan presented three funding options but specifics were not included in the public minutes.
The Sandwich Community School District 430 Board of Education on March 17 unanimously approved a new 10‑year HLS list compiled by STR, and heard that the estimated cost to complete the items is $17.5 million.
Superintendent Janisch presented the list and, together with District Director of Finance Garrett Ryan, outlined three options for funding the projects. Janisch told the board the listed items must be completed per ISBE requirements; the minutes state the estimated total at $17.5 million but do not provide a line‑item funding plan in the public record.
Mrs. Hysjulien moved to approve the STR 10‑year HLS list; Ms. Oropeza seconded the motion. The vote was recorded as: Englehart, O'Neil, Oropeza, Saitta, Morse, Kubisak and Hysjulien — ayes; nays: none. The motion carried.
Board members and administration also discussed related capital projects mentioned elsewhere in the agenda, including high‑school locker room work and a new event entrance, a middle school secure entrance that has not yet been approved by the State, and HED elevator work that the State has approved. The minutes do not record further details about which of the three funding options the district will pursue or an exact timeline for bids or construction.
Next procedural steps listed in the agenda include an insurance update and setting a public hearing later in June for an amended budget, which would be the vehicle for presenting any proposed funding allocations for capital projects.
The board packet and minutes indicate the approval was a formal board action recorded in the meeting minutes; no public comment opposing or amending the HLS list is recorded in the document.
