# Board of Education Meeting - October 21, 2026

The Elmhurst CUSD 205 Board of Education meeting on October 21, 2026, included recognition of district principals and a Jefferson Elementary presentation on peer mentoring for new teachers. The mayor reported that the city’s tax increment financing (TIF) arrangement will provide the district $168,000 from the tax increment; the arrangement previously funded $6 million in improvements, and the district is to receive a share of increment revenue beginning in the TIF’s 11th year. This was revenue to the district, not a procurement award or spending approval.

The board approved the consent agenda by a 7–0 vote. It included second-read policy reviews and a sponsor recognition agreement; no specific contract awards, vendor selections, bids, or new purchasing decisions were identified. A public commenter thanked the district for disabling Google Gemini on school-issued devices and urged it to block YouTube, but the board took no action on that request during the meeting.
