The Cook County School District 130 Board of Education held a regular meeting on February 17, 2026, where key procurement-related discussions included approval of life safety projects involving roofing, windows, and masonry. The board reviewed bid packages, noting only two bids per package due to prior litigation concerns, and approved the project with a budget line for construction management staff costs. Additionally, the board approved a partnership with EAB to support employee morale, retention, and recruitment through professional development and leadership transition assistance. The board also approved the 2026-27 school calendar and employment contracts for administrative non-union personnel. Several motions related to these items were passed by roll call vote. Other discussions focused on labor negotiations with SEIU Local 73, student advisory board improvements, and public comments on working conditions, but no new contracts or RFPs were announced during the meeting.
