Description: 

The District currently offers a 5-day program at the following cost: $300 per month ($3,000 per year; 10 monthly payments).

The administration recommends no increase to the monthly rate for 2027/28. Families are required to pay the first month fee at the time of confirmation of placement in the program, with a family eligible for a refund of the first month payment through July 31, 2027. Tuition may be subsidized depending on family income. The District will investigate additional changes in order to maximize the Preschool program to its fullest capacity.

Description: 

Members of the Board of Education will be asked to continue with the elimination of instructional material fees for the 2027/28 school year. Instructional fees were reinstated for the 2018/19 school year at the established 2013/14 rate to offset instructional materials and supply costs. Since the 2021/22 school year these fees have been eliminated.

Description:  Members of the Board of Education will be asked to authorize the Junior High School Extracurricular Participation Fee for the 2027/28 school term to offset a portion of the cost of materials and supplies. The Administration recommends no increase for the SY 2027/28.

Description: 

District 59 issues a paper bid yearly for a quantity projected to meet one year's needs.  The quantity stipulated in the bid is the best estimate to enable the vendor to determine a fair price.  However, the District is not required to purchase a specific quantity and may order more or less as needed. 

The bid specifications require the vendor to quote unit prices, including shipping costs, and stipulate delivery throughout the school year. The specifications also permit the District to compare prices to the state contract.  Items purchased through the state contract are exempt from bidding requirements (105 ILCS 5/10-20.21).

The bidding result can be viewed below. 

This year, the state contract prices for xerographic paper do not provide any savings, as they are less competitive than local vendor bid results.  Paper101 submitted the low bid for xerographic and vellum.

Description:  The report outlines five proposed resolutions, with three receiving a "Do Adopt" recommendation and two receiving a "Do Not Adopt" recommendation, subject to appeal. Each member district is entitled to one voting delegate at the IASB Delegate Assembly and is encouraged to designate an alternate. The report also includes guidance on delegate selection and registration.
