Geneva CUSD 304 Board of Education Meeting - 11-9-2026

The Geneva CUSD 304 Board of Education meeting on November 9, 2026, included procurement and budget discussions alongside presentations on food service and science curriculum. Sodexo (identified in parts of the transcript as “Sedexo”) presented updates on its district food-service program, including new lunch lines, menu variety, nutrition education, and student meal prices of $3.45 at the elementary level and $3.75 at middle school; the high-school price was not clear in the transcript. The presentation was informational, with no food-service contract award or purchasing vote. The board also approved proposed curriculum changes for the 2027–28 school year, though the specific changes and any associated costs were not captured. Middle-school science curriculum pilots are underway using two resources, with a recommendation anticipated in April; no vendor selection was made at this meeting.

The board discussed a community-solar proposal involving OneEnergy, focusing on further feasibility review, environmental and end-of-life questions, comparisons with other options, and the need for contractual off-ramps. The superintendent said the district would ask its attorney to explore how an option period could be structured; no final project or lease approval occurred, and a formal document is expected at a future meeting. The tax levy presentation was informational, with board consideration and a vote expected in December. The consent agenda was approved and included a $1,300 gift from the Geneva Basketball Association for varsity baseball field turf, as well as the October monthly financial report and other routine items.
