U-46 Board Meeting - June 15, 2026

The U-46 Board of Education held a meeting on June 15, 2026, which included extensive discussions on facility planning and budget updates related to the Unite U46 capital improvement program. The board received detailed progress reports on multiple school construction and renovation projects, including Kimble Middle School, Canyon Woods, Legacy Middle School, Glen Brook Elementary, Illinois Park Elementary, and a new elementary school in Elgin. Financial updates indicated that the overall program remains aligned with the voter-approved $380 million referendum, with some projects tracking slightly above or below original estimates due to intentional scope changes or construction factors. The board approved multiple procurement items, including curriculum resource proposals for advanced placement and honors science courses, specialized student services materials, and contract renewals for various educational and operational services. Additionally, the board approved the sale of real property located at 2001 Oak Avenue, Hanover Park, Illinois, and a change order for the Elgin High School auditorium lighting and stage rigging replacement project, which reduced costs by approximately $48,583. The meeting also covered recruitment efforts, instructional priorities, and the approval of the tentative 2026-2027 budget, with a public hearing scheduled for September 14, 2026. Several motions related to procurement and budget were passed by roll call vote.
