West Chicago ESD 33 board approves Turner kitchen renovation and $2.2M roof replacements for summer work
Summary
The Board of Education awarded a $597,999 contract for a Turner School kitchen renovation and a $2,199,000 contract to replace roofs at Currier School and the Early Learning Center, voting unanimously to move forward with the projects this summer.
The West Chicago Elementary School District 33 Board of Education voted April 9 to award two major summer capital contracts for facility work across the district.
The board approved awarding the Turner School kitchen renovation contract to Construction, Inc., for $597,999 (motion by Morgan Banasiak, second by Rita Balgeman). The board then approved awarding roof replacement contracts for Currier School and the Early Learning Center to Reigeworth Roofing Co., Inc., for $2,199,000 (motion by Chad McLean, second by Morgan Banasiak). Both motions passed on recorded roll-call votes, 6 ayes and 0 nays.
Board members and staff described the projects as summer capital improvements for the 2026 Capital Improvement Project schedule. The minutes record the contract award amounts and the awarded contractors; the board did not attach project financing details or a specific construction schedule in the meeting minutes.
The decisions followed the board’s regular consent and discussion items; the board had earlier received a financial update from Executive Director of Business and Operations Karen Apostoli that the district received $1,209,173 in Evidence-Based Funding since the last meeting. The record does not indicate that this specific funding will be applied to either project.
Next steps recorded in the minutes include standard post-award processing; the motions were recorded as carried unanimously. The board will oversee contract execution through the district’s Facilities and Operations office.
