Ms. Bradford shared that Pursuant to School Code 105 ILCS 5/8-1, the Board of Education may appoint a non-school board member to serve as School Treasurer. Along with the yearly appointment, as required by the IL school code, Treasurers of School Districts and General Obligation Bonds are to be properly bonded for an amount equal to 10% of the total of all bonds, notes, mortgages, monies, and effects, of which he or she is to have custody.
Administration utilized both the Treasurer Bond Calculation form provided by the DuPage Regional Office of Education and counsel review to first determine the surety bond issue amounts. The administration requested that the Board approve the Resolution Approving School Treasurer’s Bond in the amount of $7,000,000 and the Treasurer’s Bond for General Obligation Bond in the amount of $1,687,500.

Resolution authorizing and providing for an Installment Purchase Agreement for the purpose of purchasing real or personal property, or both, in and for the School District, and for the issue of not to exceed $18,000,000 General Obligation Debt Certificates (Limited Tax), Series 2024, of the School District evidencing the rights to payment under said Agreement, prescribing the details of the Agreement and Certificates, and providing for the security for and means of payment under said Agreement of said Certificates, authorizing the proposed sale of said Certificates to the purchaser thereof.
Ms. Bradford shared that the District is anticipating the issuance of not to exceed $18,000,000 General Obligation Debt Certificates (Limited Tax), Series 2024, to be used to finance capital improvements in and for the District, including, but not limited to, classroom additions to accommodate full-day kindergarten.
An estimated $26 MM facility investment was originally included in the FY24 budget for the Full-Day Kindergarten project (which included a $2.5 MM annual bond & interest payment). The administration continued to refine those estimates based on updated information from the architect and the bidding process. Based on the construction bids that were Board approved on February 12th and updated architect estimates for other ancillary costs, the final projected cost estimate is $19,175,000.
Ms. Bradford said the administration worked with PMA to analyze three different financing options including 15-year, 12-year, and 10-year scenarios. Each scenario provided the district with different interest rates and different annual bond and interest payments. Based on feedback from the Finance & Facilities committees and from the Board of Education at their respective April meetings, the District plans to use $1.2 MM from the fund balance to fund any contingencies (if required) and to finance the remaining $17,975,000 over a 10- year payback schedule.
Meg Cooper made a motion to approve the resolution authorizing and providing for an Installment Purchase Agreement for the purpose of purchasing real or personal property, or both, in and for the School District, and for the issue of not to exceed $18,000,000 General Obligation Debt Certificates (Limited Tax), Series 2024, of the School District evidencing the rights to payment under said Agreement, prescribing the details of the Agreement and Certificates, and providing for the security for and means of payment under said Agreement of said Certificates, authorizing the proposed sale of said Certificates to the purchaser thereof as presented. Asim Aleem seconded the motion. On roll call, the following members voted “Aye:” Asim Aleem, William Cotter, Michael Martin, Grace Shin, Sinead Duffy, and Meg Cooper. “Nay:” None. Absent: Margaret Kleber. The motion carried.
Informational Items
Full-Day Kindergarten Update
Mike Duggan, Director of Facilities, shared that the first two bi-weekly Owner Contractor Architect meetings were held on Thursday, April 18, 2024, and May 2, 2024. All three contractors, the owner’s representatives, and the architects were in attendance. The following topics were discussed:
● Site plans, logistics, and construction schedules
● Action items
● Requests for information (RFI’s)
● Submittals and selections Potential changes
● Billing
● New business
Mr. Duggan noted that the District is making great progress with resolving all RFI’s, submittals and selections. They continue to review and minimize any change orders. He noted that they have encountered no known impediments or delays.
Mr. Duggan shared that a few of the most concerning issues are:
● Relocation of buried ComEd lines at Monroe and Oak schools.
○ Waiting for ComEd paperwork to get on the construction schedules. The work must be completed as early in the summer as possible.
● Focusing on the completion of Oak and Walker since a portion of both must be completed by August 2024.
● Increased enrollment at Oak School. It is likely that Oak will need to house an additional ½ day of kindergarten this fall at Oak. To do so, this class will be held in a portion of the MRC. The plan is to build a temporary wall separating an adequate classroom space from the balance of the MPR. He said that they requested a price from KR Miller to escalate the construction schedule in order to alleviate this issue and to complete the construction as soon as possible. The goal would be to complete all construction at Oak no later than the beginning of winter break ‘24/’25, allowing the move-in to all added spaces over winter break.
Board members requested that the information be communicated to the local families.
High School Data
Ms. Reingruber shared that District 86 hosted regular Intra-district Curriculum Leader check-in meetings with D181 and other D86 feeder school districts over the past several years. These meetings allowed the feeder districts to receive student outcome information on their student population. Mr. Kurt Vonnahme, D86's Data & Analytics Coordinator, shared the D181 graduate data.
