Moline-Coal Valley board approves student-teaching, placement agreements with Augustana and Illinois State

The Moline-Coal Valley CUSD 40 Board of Education on April 27 approved two higher-education partnership agreements for the 2026–27 school year: a student-teaching clinical agreement with Augustana College and a teacher-education placement agreement with Illinois State University.

Chair (speaker 2) introduced the Augustana agreement, saying, "We recommend a motion that the Board of Education approve the student teaching plan for agreement in Augustana College of the Moline Coal Valley School District number 40 for the 2026–27 school year." A trustee moved and a second was recorded; the clerk called the roll and multiple trustees answered "Aye," carrying the motion.

The board then considered the placement agreement with Illinois State University. Chair again presented the recommended motion; the board heard no discussion and approved the agreement on roll call.

Roll-call statements recorded in the transcript list trustees and 'Aye' responses for both approvals. The motions were handled as consent-agenda business and no amendments or substantive debate were reported in the transcript.
