The board approved the consent agenda, which included personnel and workers’ compensation items, the Sycamore Trails Elementary School HVAC project (No. 1479-25), and a plant-operations item for Streamwood High School that is truncated in the transcript. It also approved the district’s itemized bills, reported in the transcript as approximately $28.8 million, and unanimously approved a $33,082 proposal from Williams Scotsman, Inc. for Century Oaks mobile units; the mobile-unit expense will be charged to the capital projects fund and was included in the FY 2026–27 budget.
