The East Peoria Elementary School District 86 Board of Education held its regular meeting on October 15, 2026. The board approved the bills as presented and several facilities expenditures: payment application No. 4 for the Boland secured-entry project to Midwest Construction Professionals for $6,779.60; another construction payment application for $21,002.67 (the project identification is unclear in the transcript); and payment application No. 4 for the Wilson secured-entry project to Midwest Construction Professionals for $13,056.06. The board also approved a $9,280 quote from Helm to replace air-conditioning coils serving the Central Junior High School IT server room and a $38,385 quote from LaForce for exterior door and hardware work at Boland School. The recorded votes on these items were unanimous.

The board directed administration to prepare a tentative tax levy for consideration in November, with final adoption anticipated in December, and approved resolutions certifying existing hazardous walking and bussing areas for state transportation reimbursement. Transportation officials reported that the district is beginning discussions about future buses, including whether to lease or purchase, but no decision was made. The board also approved updated IASB policies and the district strategic plan; no other specific procurement awards were identified.
