Wilmington CUSD 209‑U approved seeking competitive bids to abate asbestos floor tile and install new VCT at Bruning Elementary, authorized painting of WHS precast panels, and approved applying for an ISBE School Maintenance Matching Grant to help fund the Bruning project.

The board voted Dec. 8 to seek competitive bids for asbestos floor tile abatement and installation of new VCT flooring in classrooms, office spaces and the main corridor at Bruning Elementary School. The motion, made by Kempes and seconded by Dziuban, carried on recorded roll call.

To offset costs for the Bruning project, the board approved submitting an application for the Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE) School Maintenance Matching Grant. District staff said the grant would be used toward the asbestos abatement and VCT flooring project if awarded; the board approved pursuing competitive bids so work could proceed contingent on funding.
