August 11th, 2026 - Board of Education Meeting

District 300 Board of Education meeting, August 11, 2026: The board approved displaying the FY2027 tentative budget and publishing the public hearing notice; the budget hearing is scheduled for September 22. The tentative budget projects about $414 million in revenue and $437 million in expenditures, a planned $22.9 million deficit, and approximately $28 million from reserves for capital projects. The presentation also identified 12 summer 2027 capital-maintenance projects estimated at $4.3 million, compared with $4 million budgeted for FY2027–FY2028. The board’s approval was to display the tentative budget, not to adopt the final budget or approve specific project contracts. The superintendent also reported on the completed Park View Elementary renovation and the Dundy Crown High School addition and renovation, planned for completion in July 2029.

The consent agenda included a musical instrument bid extension, technology-services contract renewals, a Jacobs High School capital-maintenance change order, and an early-childhood dual-credit memorandum of understanding; these were approved as part of the consent motion, but the transcript provides no vendor names, contract amounts, or detailed terms. The board also approved a resolution authorizing action in property-tax appeal cases and voted to impose a five-day unpaid suspension in an employee discipline matter. No specific new vendor award or procurement amount was identified.
