The Lincolnwood School District 74 Board of Education voted on Jan. 8 to accept a $75,000 gift from the Barry and Taffy Berger Foundation. The motion to accept the donation was moved by Secretary Pro‑Tem Elissa B. Rosenberg and seconded by Member Jay Oleniczak; the board recorded Ayes from Foutris, Kwon, Oleniczak, Rosenberg, Seta and Theodore, with John P. Vranas absent.
Superintendent Dr. David L. Russo introduced the item during his administrative report. The meeting minutes state the board approved the donation "as presented" but do not specify a designated use or line‑item allocation for the funds. The minutes therefore note the acceptance only; any programmatic or budgetary assignment for the donation was not specified in the public minutes.
