  The Board of Education in School District U-46 unanimously approved $23.6 million in expenditure proposals over three March board meetings.
  The board voted 7-0 on expenditures items at its March 7 meeting, most from the operations and maintenance fund.
  Those included $979,777 for a paving project at Elgin’s Kimball Middle School, $912,400 for gym floor refinishing and bleacher replacement at Streamwood High School, $819,770 for parking lot resurfacing at Elgin’s Otter Creek Elementary School, $628,777 for parking lot reconstruction at the plant operations building, $577,000 for a partial roof replacement at Elgin’s Larkin High School, a $65,000 contract with former U-46 administrator Sheila Downs for plant operations consulting and $54,770 for playground asphalt replacement at Bartlett’s Centennial Elementary School.
  From the nation’s taxpayers through federal funds the district will spend $1 million for elementary school supply kits, $217,005 to get teachers’ bilingual certification from Roosevelt University, $88,314 for a Computerized Numerical Control (CNC) lathe purchase, $50,918 for safety mirrors and $32,319 for Boardmaker software licenses.

  The board voted 5-0 on items at its March 14 meeting, John Devereux and Veronica Noland absent.
  The items were primarily from the education fund including $91,800 for renewal of Tableau software used to “produce various reports and visualizations,” the proposal states.
