Key approvals the board recorded included:

- A 36‑month MindSlice managed services and virtual chief information security officer (vCISO) contract in the amount of $753,884.16. The board moved and carried the motion by roll call.

- Renewal of PowerSchool services for the 2025–26 school year in the amount of $116,480.21. The board approved the renewal by roll call.

- Approval of the board–superintendent communication expectations document dated May 19, 2025, establishing mutual norms and practices for governance.

- Authorization to publish a public notice regarding the availability of the tentative FY26 budget for public inspection and to schedule a public hearing in August 2025. The board approved the motion by roll call.

- Memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the Proviso Teachers Union (PTU) to include the department chair position within the bargaining unit; the board approved the MOU.

- Authorization for a board member's travel and related expenses not to exceed $2,500 for attendance at the Model Schools Conference on June 22, 2025, in Washington, D.C.

- Approval of the bill list dated June 10, 2025, in the amount of $1,835,347.50.

- Approval of a personnel report that included multiple hires, resignations, leaves and separations, and separate board action to approve immediate terminations of several employees (terminations were carried by roll call with votes recorded in the minutes).

Roll‑call votes as recorded in the meeting minutes show consistent majorities for these items. For example, when the board voted to authorize publication of the tentative budget, the roll call recorded \"Miss Molinaro? Aye. Miss Dixon? Aye. Miss Morris? Aye. Dr. Fisher? Aye. Mr. Ocampo? Aye. Miss Smith? Aye. Miss Barbourhan? Aye.\" The board then announced \"Motion carried.\" Similar roll calls and \"aye\" responses are recorded for the other approved items listed above.

Motions to terminate several employees were presented and carried by roll call. Minutes show some abstentions recorded on at least one termination motion; the minutes list the names called and the votes as recorded by the board secretary.

The board introduced no new ordinances or changes to district policy that required second readings or separate legislative action at this meeting.

Stella Patterton, a resident who spoke during the public comment period, thanked the district and a named supporter, saying the $40,000,000 “is truly a testament to your commitment to education as well as our young people.” She told the board the facility will have a \"transformative impact\" on students, athletes and the wider community.

Superintendent-level staff told the board they welcome public input and intend to be transparent about how the funds will be used. At the same time, staff repeatedly noted that the state budget had not yet been signed, and that any state funding remains contingent until that process is complete.

District officials and public speakers described the project as centered at Proviso West High School. A board member and district staff said administrative work related to state funding and project planning would continue \"in lockstep\" with any confirmed funds.

The board did not adopt a final contract or capital appropriation during the meeting; staff said further administrative steps and public engagement would follow should the state appropriation be finalized.

Grossi, who described himself as an outside financial consultant, told the board the district has recorded a structural surplus averaging about $25,000,000 annually since 2022 (excluding major capital activity) while also investing roughly $138,000,000 in facilities improvements during that period. He said those capital investments were funded largely from bond proceeds, fund balances and federal ESSER dollars.

The plan the district presented calls for publishing the tentative FY26 budget for public inspection beginning June 17 and a public hearing on Aug. 12, 2025; the district must adopt a final budget by state law on or before Sept. 30, 2025. The board voted to authorize publication as part of routine budget procedures.

Grossi cautioned that while the district has outperformed many peers, revenue sources available to Illinois school districts may be constrained in coming years. He pointed to potential downward pressure on local revenues because of Cook County tax caps and a forecast of reduced corporate personal property replacement taxes. He also noted the state faces large deficits that could eventually affect school funding.

District staff presenting the tentative budget said the proposal assumes a 3% increase to real estate taxes and budgets $6,400,000 in capital projects for FY26 (including a $4,500,000 retainage tied to prior work). The FY26 proposal includes a budgeted increase in salaries of roughly 4.5 percent and sets aside approximately $7,000,000 for capital in the budget documents presented to the board for public display.

The presenters described a new pre‑purchase review process in which any expenditure above $2,500 must be vetted by a committee before a requisition is entered. Board members and staff said the intent is to align spending more closely with district priorities and slow expenditure growth to match revenue growth.

“I would say, from a historical perspective, the growth in revenues over the past few years has been as high as it's ever been,” Grossi said during his presentation, noting both the recent structural surplus and the district's capital commitments.

Board members asked staff about drivers of budget pressure, including the district’s relatively high out‑of‑district tuition costs for special education students. Staff said out‑of‑district tuition makes up a significant portion of the budget and that the district is exploring ways to house more services locally.

The board unanimously voted to authorize publication of the tentative FY26 budget and to place the tentative budget on public display in accordance with state law. The district plans to file the final budget with the Illinois State Board of Education after board adoption.

Looking ahead, district leaders said they will continue to update financial projections and monitor revenues and expenditures while moving forward with capital projects that have external funding sources.

","At its June 10 meeting the Proviso Township High School District 209 board heard a financial review from outside consultant Rob Grossi, received a presentation of the tentative FY26 budget and voted to publish the tentative budget for public inspection ahead of an Aug. 12 public hearing.","actionData","errors"]
