U-46 Board set to vote on expenses, resolutions


By Seth Hancock
  The Board of Education in School District U-46 will be voting on a pair of resolutions as well as $1.4 million in expenditure items at its upcoming meeting on Monday, July 24. The proposals were presented on June 19.
  A resolution to display the Fiscal Year 2018 budget will be voted on. Jeff King, chief operations officer, said the proposed budget will be presented to the board on Aug. 14 with a planned vote on Sept. 25.
  Another resolution to be voted on will be to allow the district to use temporary classrooms. The list shows 14 temporary units with 23 total classrooms planned for usage in the upcoming school year.
  Board member Veronica Noland said she thought that the temporary classrooms were no longer in use by the district, but King said: “I never said that. We eliminated several of them.”
  U-46 CEO Tony Sanders said “this is the smallest list we’ve ever had,” and King affirmed that at least as long as he’s been with the district starting in 2001. King said in 2001 there was a three-page list of temporary classroom compared to one page in this resolution.
  Among the expenditure items proposed is one costing $82,000, which will be paid for by the nation’s taxpayers through grant funds if approved, with JBH Technologies to purchase four welding simulators.
  According to the proposal: “The purchase of this equipment provides the Welding Program with the capacity to help students develop important industry skills that will lead to American Welding Society certification.”
  A proposal with Heartland Business Systems costing $543,841, also to be paid for by the nation’s taxpayers through Title I funding, to purchase 1,590 laptops and 18 laptop carts.
  With Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, the district is proposing a purchase of the On Our Way to English resource to replace the Moving into English resource for English Language Learners students. The proposals total cost is $580,910 which would come out of the education fund.
  A contract renewal with Active Network/Bluebear Software was proposed for software for “school activity bank accounts and textbook tracking” according to the proposal. The proposal would cost $52,102, coming out of the education fund.
  A contract renewal costing $26,645, to come out of the education fund, with Frontline Technologies is to renew human resources software that manages absences and substitute teacher placement.
  The final contract renewal proposed is with Hanover Research which would cost $105,500 to the nation’s taxpayers through Title I funds. The district plans to use the company to evaluate two areas, the high school academies and CORE Cycle Strategy.
  According to the proposal: “Hanover Research offers a range of research services and specializes in full-service survey support, from questionnaire design and administration to analysis of results and communication of key findings to District stakeholders.”
