At-a-glance: major approvals and contract awards from the April 1 DeKalb CUSD 428 board meeting
Summary
The board approved the consent agenda, travel for conferences, multiple contract awards (HVAC abatement, band-room flooring), marching band travel, and the two tax-levy resolutions; several items (ELDC schematic revision and the FTE slate) were discussed and returned for future action.
At its April 1 meeting the DeKalb CUSD 428 Board of Education approved multiple routine and procurement items by roll call and provided direction on larger items that need more information before final votes.
Approved by roll call tonight
- Consent agenda (items 5B'5G): minutes, personnel actions, purchase orders, DHS assistant principal contract, IESA membership, and an amended athletic trainer services agreement. - Travel: Fusion IN WEA conference (board/administrative travel), Building Thinking Classrooms conference, Midwest Management Summit (to be brought back), and marching band travel to the MB Super Regional in St. Louis (Oct. 22'24, 2026). - Contracts: Huntley Middle School HVAC abatement base bid ($37,200) and alternate ($2,800) to Nationwide Environmental and Demo LLC; alternate bid awards for band-room flooring as presented. - Tax measures: two resolutions to abate/under-levy the 2025 educational fund levy (abate ~ $2.6 million and supplemental certification under PTEL).
Brought back for further action or information
- ELDC schematic and budget revision: staff requested ~ $3.75 million and additional square footage; trustees asked for reconciled funding projections and enrollment/capacity modeling. - FTE request (14.75 positions): staff prioritized positions and trustees asked for supervision plans, metrics for the truancy/outreach roles and multi-year budget impacts; board gave consensus to return the slate for a formal vote.
What wasn't decided: No final votes were taken on the ELDC budget increase or the full FTE slate; both will return for action after staff supplies requested fiscal and program details.
