The CHSD 94 Board of Education approved a series of contracts, purchases and routine agenda items during its March meeting, including a major auditorium renovation, a large technology purchase, and several vendor contracts.
The board approved the purchase of auditorium seating through the OMNIA cooperative from Erwin Seating Company for $273,106.08, and awarded auditorium renovation work to Allied Facility Partners for $1,233,724. Trustees commented the completed project will be a substantial visual upgrade to the high school auditorium.
The district also approved a technology quote from CDW-G (Chicago) totaling $403,917 for 550 Chromebooks, 23 laptops and 100 desktop computers for the 2026–27 school year. The board approved a three-year audit services proposal from Baker Tilly (Oak Brook) for $141,850 covering fiscal years 2026–27 through 2027–28.
Other approvals included fertilization and grounds maintenance contracts (TruGreen and Dynasty Landscaping), Field trip permissions for LifeSmarts (national competition in Orlando) and the chess team (USCF nationals in Chicago), and a prom transportation contract with Echo Windy City Transportation for $17,352, which administration said represents a substantial cost reduction from a prior provider.
The board also approved the dual-credit memorandum of understanding with the College of DuPage for 2026–27, annual personnel and staffing recommendations for FY27, and Policy 2:150 (committees) on second reading. The meeting closed business for open session and moved into a closed session to discuss personnel matters with no action expected after the closed session.
Roll-call approvals and contract amounts were read into the record during the meeting. Board members thanked administrators for finding a lower-cost prom transportation vendor and for the work put into competitive procurement and comparative analyses for technology and capital projects.
