Board approves consent agenda, contracts and curriculum: votes at a glance
Summary
At its May 19 meeting the CUSD 201 board approved the consent agenda, multiple contracts (including an $83,272 three-year Benchmark ELA renewal), a counseling services contract, a multi-year personnel contract, Title I waivers, and other routine business.
The CUSD 201 Board of Education approved several motions by roll-call vote at its May 19 meeting. Key actions included:
- Authorize treasurer to pay May 2026 fiscal-year bills (motion approved by roll call). - Approve Spanish 6 Honors course at Westmont High School for 2026–27 (motion approved). - Approve contract with Kate Moon / Reese Moon Wellness LLC and Oak and Elm Collective Therapy to provide counseling services to Westmont High School students (motion approved). - Approve three-year renewal agreement with Benchmark Education Company for Benchmark Advanced K–5 ELA resources in the amount of $83,272 (motion approved). Administration advised the three-year option locks pricing and yields modest savings versus annual renewals. - Approve multi-year contract for Ronald Okconor (2026–2029) as presented. - Approve the Parent and Family Engagement policy (to be attached to the consolidated district plan required for Title grants). - Approve the consolidated district plan for Title grants and Title I schoolwide waivers for Miller Elementary, Manning Elementary, Westmont Junior High School and Westmont High School.
Each motion passed on a recorded roll-call vote with the board recording unanimous approval where votes were read publicly.
The administration said the Benchmark renewal was recommended to secure current pricing; contract details and documentation were provided in the board packet. The counseling services contract named Kate Moon / Reese Moon Wellness LLC and Oak and Elm Collective Therapy as the vendor to provide student counseling at the high school.
The board also approved the consolidated district plan and requested that as part of implementation staff publish required documentation and timelines for Title-funded programs.
Vote tallies and roll-call confirmations were documented in the meeting minutes.
