Valley View CUSD 365u Board Meeting 10/19/2026

The Valley View CUSD 365u Board of Education’s regular meeting on October 19, 2026, included several spending and procurement-related approvals. The board approved the September financial reports and a schedule of bills totaling approximately $5.2 million. It also approved replacing a 2007 Chevrolet Silverado with a used 2024 Ford F-250 for $44,518 from Gordy Boucher Ford Lincoln; administration said the vehicle had been inspected by district mechanics and that a formal bid was not required. The board approved the 2027 employee benefits renewals, including renewal of Blue Cross Blue Shield of Illinois as third-party administrator and stop-loss coverage at $300,000, and an extension of the special education intergovernmental agreement. Administration reported that the district currently supports five students through that agreement, with average annual tuition of about $65,000. The board also approved a resolution to dispose of surplus personal property and approved the other items presented in the consent agenda.

Other updates included an ongoing door-replacement project at the technical center, a school-violence grant application that has advanced to the next application stage, and a new three-month certificate of deposit with Wintrust; these were not presented as contract awards. A student asked the board to reinstate Habitat for Humanity trips for Woods 3 students, but no board action on that request was recorded. The board approved the listed actions by roll-call vote; no specific procurement amount was stated for the benefits renewals or other consent-agenda items.
