Board member Jermaine Piggy said the Belvidere CUSD 100 board approved a slate of contracts and renewals at its April meeting and heard updates on special education and the district strategic plan.

"I'm Jermaine Piggy, a board member here in District 100," Piggy said in a brief recap announcing the actions the board took and the items discussed.

Piggy said the board approved an agreement with RBC and memoranda of understanding with Highland Community College and RBC. He said the board voted to continue truancy support services with the ROE and to maintain the district's use of the Panorama platform for student supports. "We also approved continuing our truancy support services with the ROE, and we'll continue our use of Panorama," Piggy said.

The board also approved renewal of the NIA contract and work affecting district facilities, including roof restoration at Belvidere High School and a second wave of interactive panels at the district's secondary schools. Piggy said Washington Academy and a contract renewal for Organic Life were among the other approved items. The board approved a request for proposals to establish a wellness center; Piggy did not provide details on scope, funding, or timelines in the recap.

The meeting closed with updates on the district's special education department and progress on the district strategic plan, Piggy said. He thanked Belvidere High School coordinators for opening the meeting and recognized the district's all-state musicians and staff who received board shout-outs.

Piggy's recap did not list vote tallies, motion language, or which board members moved or seconded each action. No public-comment details or contested debate were included in the summary he delivered.

Piggy concluded by telling the community the district will continue monthly updates to keep families informed.
