Morton District board approves Morton East paving and pickleball court bid results
Summary
At a May 19 special meeting, the Board of Education of J. Sterling Morton High School District 201 approved bid results for paving 59th Court and for new Morton East pickleball courts; the motion was made by Member Jessica Jaramillo-Flores and seconded by Member Fernando Godinez. The minutes contain an attendance/vote inconsistency noted below.
At a special meeting May 19, 2025, the Board of Education of J. Sterling Morton High School District 201 approved bid results for two Morton East capital projects: paving 59th Court (25th Street to 24th Street) and construction of pickleball courts at Morton East. Member Jessica Jaramillo-Flores moved to approve the bid results and Member Fernando Godinez seconded the motion; the minutes state the motion carried.
The minutes record the vote as "Ayes: Members Godinez, Jaramillo-Flores, Kraft and Tomschin; Nays: none; Abstain: none; Absent: Member Gallegos, Kelly and Tomschin." The document therefore lists Member Sandra Tomschin among those voting "Aye" and also lists her as absent; the minutes contain this internal inconsistency and do not specify dollar amounts or contract awardees for the approved bids. The motion text in the minutes reads: "Member Jaramillo-Flores motioned to approve the Bid Results for Morton East Paving and Pickleball Courts."
The minutes do not provide bid prices, contractor names, project schedules or funding sources for the approved items. The board did not discuss these details on the record during the special session, and the minutes do not indicate a timeline for award or execution of contracts. Next procedural steps and any contract authorizations are not specified in the minutes.
