Valley View CUSD 365u Board Meeting 9/28/2026

Valley View CUSD 365u Board of Education regular meeting, September 28, 2026. The board approved the consent agenda by roll-call vote, including student activity contracts for a Perfect Pastries popcorn fundraiser at Beverly Skoff Elementary and Interstate Studio student portraits for Jonas Elementary’s 2027–28 school year, along with school trips. No contract amounts were stated. The board also amended the agenda to table the 10-year health and life safety survey item. During the public hearing on the proposed budget, administrators reported approximately $317 million in operating-fund spending and described a planned $5 million transfer from the Education Fund to cover an anticipated transportation-fund deficit. A potential $95.3 million bond-financing amount was described as preliminary, not a concrete figure; no bond sale or budget adoption was approved at this meeting.

An informational facilities report outlined plans to acquire two late-model used work trucks, preferably certified pre-owned Ford F-250s, at approximately $47,000 each. The district plans to compare local, regional, and online dealer quotes and purchase directly from a selected dealer through a non-bid process consistent with Illinois School Code; this was not an approval or final vendor selection. The existing trucks have estimated repair costs of about $6,000 and $8,000, and one is expected to be sold through a government auction site for approximately $5,000–$7,000. The board also approved an updated director of buildings operations and maintenance job description.
