The Lincolnwood School District 74 minutes summarize the NTDSE Governing Board's Dec. 10, 2025 meeting. Executive Director Tarin Kendrick presented three options to address classroom space shortages and "recommended the third option: discontinue taking out of District High School students." The minutes record that the board approved the recommendation as part of its actions.
The report also notes NTDSE will interview firms to perform a special education audit, provided updates on SB3606 (Equalized Special Education Funding) and paraprofessional licensure legislation, and listed approvals including a transportation contract extension with North Shore and Extended School Year (ESY) 2026 proposals.
