Lake Forest District 67 Regular School Board Meeting - 10/20/26

At the October 20, 2026 Lake Forest School District 67 Board of Education regular meeting, the board approved a professional services proposal from Hudson Design Group Ltd. for roofing design/architectural and construction-management services. The discussion referenced an estimated fee of about $164,000 and a 7.5% fee structure. Administrators said the district did not seek competitive bids or an RFQ because the firm had performed the prior roof analysis in 2022 and serves as the district’s roofing architect. A board member questioned the fee and lack of competition; the proposal passed, with one member voting no and the others voting yes. The board also noted that the November and December budget discussions would include the tax levy, five-year forecast, and audit, but no related spending action was taken at this meeting.

Other discussion included the district’s fall student assessment results, a planned review of encore programming, school activities, and public comment about administrator compensation and budget priorities. The board approved other agenda items, including minutes and a policy reading, but the transcript identifies no additional procurement actions.
