The District 300 Board of Education held a business meeting on June 24, 2025, where several procurement-related items were addressed. The board approved consent items both under and over $35,000, including the purchase of supplemental materials for targeted schools. Additionally, the meeting included discussions about a proposed access road to improve safety near Westfield School, with an estimated construction cost of $600,000 to be funded by development impact fees rather than the district's budget. The board also introduced Dr. Frank J. Williams as the new Chief Financial Officer, highlighting his experience in finance and capital planning. Furthermore, the board discussed strategic facility planning and community engagement efforts to support potential future bond referendums for school facility improvements. No new contracts or vendor selections were explicitly detailed, but the meeting emphasized ongoing capital planning and community involvement in funding decisions.
