Summary
The Springfield SD 186 board approved consent agenda items including a roof bid and insurance renewals, adopted personnel recommendations, and approved an intergovernmental agreement with Ball Chatham CUSD 5 to allow property detachment/annexation and development of an elementary school at UIS, plus a collaboration agreement with University of Illinois Springfield.
The board unanimously approved the consent agenda (items 11.2–11.12) after Doctor Jordan summarized the items, which included a roof replacement bid for Douglas (paid from the operations and maintenance fund), a stop‑loss insurance proposal, renewal of property and casualty insurance with a slight premium decrease, and a cybersecurity insurance renewal for $66,970 covering $2,000,000.
A motion to adopt personnel recommendations was moved and seconded and passed with six aye votes. Miss Russell presented the personnel recommendations on behalf of the superintendent.
