Policies from PRESS Update 114 – 7.02 

The IASB Policy Reference Manual provides a system for regular updating of policies to ensure legal compliance and provides cross-referencing of related policies and the legal references. Every policy is reviewed at least once every five years or as a result of Illinois School Code, Illinois School Board of Education, or state/federal regulation or rule changes. The board previously discussed PRESS Update 114 at the Policy Committee Meeting on June 10, 2024.

ELC HVAC Replacement – 7.03 

The Early Learning Center has an unreliable heating, ventilation, and air conditioning system (HVAC). The overall HVAC system has a consistent history of functionality issues. Maintenance far exceeds the norm in terms of frequency. This has disrupted the learning environment at the ELC due to the system’s failures. An alternative has been explored, which would be energy efficient and reliable for cooling and heating. Costs after tax incentives equate to $5.1 million.
