U-46 Board of Education to vote on expense items


By Seth Hancock
  The Board of Education in School District U-46 is set to vote on $944,998 in expenditure proposals at its upcoming meeting on Monday, Feb. 27. The items were presented on Feb. 13.
  The largest item is $640,000, from the operations and maintenance fund, if approved, with International Contractors for an owner’s representative for the upcoming work to convert Bartlett’s Hawk Hollow from an elementary to a middle school.
  The proposal states that the “size and scope” of the project is the rationale for the project.
  “In order to ensure the project is monitored and guided appropriately throughout the entire process, an owner’s representative is recommended,” the proposal states. “The owner’s representative protects the district’s interests, coordinates, and effectively communicates to the Executive Cabinet and Board of Education throughout all phases of the project while performing all site civil inspections, building inspections, overseeing budgets, payout requests, and addendums.”
  With Northwestern University Center for Talent Development, the district is asking for $108,600 through the national Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief Fund. The proposal is for “summer enrichment programming” for “students in gifted programming,” it states.
  Costing $94,160 (operations and maintenance fund) with Sound Productions, the district is seeking to purchase auditorium equipment for its high schools.
  “The cable snakes at the five high school auditoriums and the sound boards at all but Larkin High School are in need of replacement as the technology has become outdated and no longer adequately supports this important district space,” the proposal states.
  With Virtuoso Education Consulting, the district is asking for $58,200 (federal grant funds) for a so-called “disproportionality” consultant “for staff to understand and address academic and behavioral challenges prior to consideration for special education services,” the proposal states.
  A $44,038 (operations and maintenance fund) with Russo Power Equipment is for the purchase of snow removal equipment. It will go towards the purchase of two Rugged Terrain Vehicles (RTV), two snow plows and two salt spreaders at $70,528 but reduced to the final price with the trade-in of one RTV at $26,490.
