Regular Meeting - Jun 09 2026

The Oak Park Elementary School District 97 held a regular board meeting on June 9, 2026, which included extensive public comments on various educational and community topics. Key procurement-related actions included the approval of multiple contracts: a technology contract valued at $132,051.84, student services contracts totaling over $2.9 million (covering materials, staff services, and out-of-district tuition), a teaching and learning contract for $162,780, and a safety contract for $46,233.20. Additionally, the board approved a memorandum of agreement with the Oak Park Teachers' Association to allow additional coaches for the robotics program based on student involvement. A significant discussion focused on the intergovernmental agreement (IGA) for early childhood services involving District 97, District 200, and the Village of Oak Park. The board approved the financial contribution numbers for this collaboration, which supports early childhood programs and outreach, with a formal IGA expected for approval at a future meeting. The meeting also featured acknowledgments of leadership transitions and community engagement efforts but did not include other direct procurement decisions or budget allocations beyond those noted.
