Varied proposals passed at U-46 board meeting


By Seth Hancock
  The Board of Education in School District U-46 unanimously approved,  $2 million in expenditure proposals as well as a secondary arts resources curriculum proposal at its meeting on Monday, May 18 which was held electronically due to the COVID-19 shutdown.
  The secondary arts proposal concerned a curriculum update approved last year. It is for purchasing resources at an estimated price of $1.7 million including $815,236 for technology and $500,000 for capital improvements including classroom remodels, and there is an estimated $120,000 annual cost for consumable items.
  “The instructional resources recommended in this proposal will be the tools and materials necessary to create, present, connect, and respond to the artforms taught in the various adopted courses,” the proposal states.
  The board approved $1.4 million, from the transportation fund, with Midwest Transit Equipment to purchase 20 used large replacement buses. All of the buses will come from Round Lake School District 116 and have fewer than 20,000 miles as well as a three-year engine warranty and a five-year transmission warranty.
  Costing $170,400 (operations and maintenance fund), the district will purchase four sets of portable bleachers from Bleachers International to be used at all U-46 high schools. The proposal states that Bartlett and South Elgin high schools have consistently been renting portable bleachers in recent years with rental costs as high as $10,000 for a single event.
  The board approved of $135,344, to be paid for by the nation’s taxpayers through grant funds, with Crossland Literacy-Okapi Educational Publishing to purchase reading comprehension cross cat resources.
  With SolarWinds, the board approved of a three-year contract renewal costing $86,421 (education fund).
  “This agreement is used for monitoring the district’s 640 network devices and over 45,000 interfaces at 59 campuses such as network switches/routers/security access devices, phones and phone system servers,” the proposal states. “In addition, each device’s processes and functions are being monitored/detected and advance warnings are provided when issues are identified. Also, this system performs all backups for our switching and routing devices on a daily basis.”
  U-46 will spend $83,991 (education fund) for a three-year contract renewal with Catalogic Software for maintenance and backups “to support the protection of the district’s data,” the proposal states.
  Costing $35,584 (education fund), the board approved of a software renewal with Frontline Education which concerns the district’s human resources information system.
  Also approved unanimously was $8.3 million in itemized bills.
