Proviso Township High School District 209 approves contracts, personnel moves and fiscal items
Summary
At its May 12 meeting the Proviso Township High School District 209 Board approved a consent agenda of contracts and policy updates, the Title I district plan, a $138,000 districtwide equity audit contract, a termination of a grounds employee, multiple hires and payment of $1,888,827.22 in bills.
The Proviso Township High School District 209 Board of Education on May 12 approved a slate of routine and substantive items including vendor contracts, personnel agreements, and the district’s Title I plan.
The board approved a consent agenda that included technology and facilities contracts (an AT&T E-rate ethernet renewal for $45,396; an E-rate wireless replacement contract for $498,589.39; an East auditorium AB replacement for $34,625.50), a PowerSchool renewal for $130,531.13, conference attendance recommended by the superintendent, and multiple policy updates. The motion to approve the consent agenda passed on a roll-call vote recorded in the meeting minutes as a series of ‘Aye’ responses and the president declared the motion carried.
Why it matters: These approvals authorize immediate procurement and renewals that support classroom technology, facilities maintenance and administrative operations as the district closes fiscal year 2026.
The board also approved submission of the district’s Title I plan to the Illinois State Board of Education after a moved-and-seconded motion and a recorded roll-call vote in favor of the measure. Separately, the board authorized a contract with Policy Components for a districtwide equity audit in the amount of $138,000.
Personnel actions approved included the immediate termination of the building and grounds lead employee, identified in the record as Leon House, and multiple employment agreements for principals and assistant principals for the 2026–27 school year (the minutes list names presented as part of the motion). The board adopted the minutes of the April 14, 2026 meeting and approved payment of bills submitted for the period ending May 12, 2026 totaling $1,888,827.22.
Board procedure and next steps: Several votes were handled by roll call; the transcript records aye votes from members in attendance and indicates motions carried. The equity audit and approved contracts will return to the administration for implementation and any required procurement steps; the Title I plan will be submitted to the Illinois State Board of Education as authorized.
What the record shows: All outcomes described above are recorded on the meeting transcript and were announced aloud by the secretary/clerk during roll-call votes. The transcript does not provide detailed vote tallies by named member for every motion beyond the recorded ‘Aye’ responses, and several speaker names appear garbled in the transcript. Where the transcript did not provide a clear, authoritative spelling of a participant’s name, this article uses the names as they appear in the meeting record or refers to the role (for example, “the clerk” or “the secretary”) to avoid misidentification.
The board did not take other final actions on items explicitly labeled information-only; staff said more detail will be provided at subsequent committee or board meetings.
