Regular Meeting — 7:00 p.m.
The Board of Education is scheduled to consider a consent agenda covering routine business and five new-business items, including the tentative 2026-2027 budget, strategic plan goals, a district cell phone plan, a parent survey proposal on school start times, and an emergency purchase of driver's education vehicles.
Key Items on the Agenda
Tentative 2026-2027 Budget and Public Hearing
The agenda includes placement of the tentative 2026-2027 budget on public display and establishment of a public hearing date. The packet identifies both steps as part of the same new-business item but does not provide additional budget figures or specify the proposed hearing date in the extracted text.
Strategic Plan Goals
The Board is scheduled to receive a Strategic Plan Goals Presentation. The extracted packet identifies the presentation as a new-business item but does not provide the goals or other details about the presentation.
District 200 Cell Phone Plan
The agenda calls for consideration of approval of a District 200 Cell Phone Plan. The extracted packet does not provide the plan's provisions, costs, implementation details, or other supporting information.
School Start Time Parent Survey Proposal
The Board is scheduled for discussion and possible action on a parent survey proposal concerning school start times for the 2027-2028 school year. The agenda specifically frames this as a proposal for gathering parent input; the extracted packet does not provide the proposed survey questions or describe potential changes to start times.
Emergency Purchase of Driver's Education Cars
The Board is scheduled to consider waiving the bidding process and authorizing an emergency purchase of driver's education cars. The extracted packet does not state the number of vehicles, purchase price, vendor, or circumstances underlying the proposed emergency purchase.
Consent Agenda
The packet states that consent-agenda items are considered routine and may be enacted under one motion without separate discussion unless a Board member requests that an item be removed for separate action. The proposed consent agenda includes:
- Minutes from the July 21, 2026 Regular Meeting.
- Routine personnel matters covering employment; transfers, changes, reclassifications and corrections of records; resignations and retirements; and leaves of absence involving licensed professionals, educational support personnel, and stipend/coach positions.
- Financial reports, including the Treasurer's Report, Investment Report, and Budget Summary Report.
- Bills payable.
- Authorization for disposal of personal property.
- Renewal of the Turf Tank athletic field marking equipment agreement.
- A contracted services agreement with Pediatric Services of America, LLC dba Aveanna Healthcare.
- Woodstock High School co-curricular fundraising requests for 2026-2027.
- Woodstock North High School co-curricular fundraising requests for 2026-2027.
- An overnight field trip request for Thespian Troupe 991 to attend Theatre Fest at the University of Illinois, January 7-9, 2027.
The packet also notes that the Business and Accounting Committee meets before the Board meeting to review the financial reports and list of bills.
Public and District Communications
The agenda provides separate opportunities for public comments, staff comments, and Board comments. Public communications are intended for community members and District employees to express a point of view rather than debate an issue, and comments are generally limited to three minutes under Board Policy 2:230.
The agenda also includes a Superintendent's Report and Committee Reports.
What to Watch at the Meeting
Several agenda items could establish next steps rather than final policy or operational outcomes. The tentative budget item could set the public-review and hearing process for the 2026-2027 budget, while the school start time item could determine whether the District moves forward with a parent survey concerning the 2027-2028 school year.
The Board is also being asked to consider a district cell phone plan and an emergency vehicle purchase, but the extracted packet does not provide enough detail to assess their financial or operational terms. The Strategic Plan Goals Presentation is likewise listed without substantive presentation details in the extracted text.
