Board approves principal appointment, contracts, smart boards and after‑school agreement
Summary
At the May 18 meeting the Mahomet-Seymour board approved the appointment of Caitlin Schroeder as Lincoln Trail Elementary principal, authorized negotiations on a gym sponsorship, and approved several contracts and purchases including Agilex, CliftonLarsonAllen audit services, junior-high smart boards and a renewal with Stevens Family YMCA for after-school programming.
The Mahomet-Seymour CUSD 3 Board of Education on May 18 approved a series of routine personnel hires, contract renewals and capital purchases.
Personnel: Administration recommended and the board approved a one‑year contract appointing Caitlin Schroeder as principal of Lincoln Trail Elementary after a multi-stage interview process. Doctor Lee (speaker 4) said Schroeder rose through district roles and was the board’s top candidate, describing the recommendation as the result of a reliable and thorough screening process.
Contracts and services: The board approved continued audit services with CliftonLarsonAllen (CLA), accepted the superintendent’s recommendation to contract with Agilex (technology services), and approved a renewal agreement with the Stevens Family YMCA to provide after-school programming across the district.
Capital and facilities: The board approved purchase and electrical work to install new flat-panel smart boards at Mahomet-Seymour Junior High to be completed over the summer. Administrators said some rooms require new electrical work to relocate projector power to wall-mounted panels and that the new panels use modern ports including USB-C.
Sponsorship negotiation: The board authorized administration to negotiate terms for a gymnasium floor sponsorship at Mahomet-Seymour High School with a proposed starting point of $30,000 annually for a five‑year contract and a 10% rebate if prepayment is made; the authorization allows administration to seek the best revenue level rather than approve a final contract at this meeting.
Why it matters: these approvals set operational and personnel direction for the coming school year and authorize revenue-generation and capital projects that affect classrooms and facilities.
The board concluded regular business and voted to enter closed session to address personnel and student matters.
