After a lengthy public comment period and committee-level discussions, the Community High School District 128 board voted on a set of action items and then entered closed session.
The board approved the consent agenda and then voted on individual action items by roll call. The principal approvals recorded in the open meeting were:
- Ombudsman services agreement — the board approved option two of the Ombudsman Alternatives Education Services agreement for 2026–27 as presented (roll call recorded in the transcript).
- Intergovernmental agreement with the Village of Libertyville — approved; the item formalizes shared facilities arrangements between CHSD 128 and the village.
- Intergovernmental agreement for deaf/hard-of-hearing itinerant services with District 120 — approved to continue shared special-education support services.
- Annual ESP staffing report — approved as presented, detailing Education Support Professional positions and recommendations.
- Employee handbook for nonunion ESP staff including benefits and salary increases for the 2026–27 school year — approved; the handbook updates longevity and vacation provisions for mostly 12-month positions.
The meeting concluded with a motion and roll call to convene in closed session to discuss employment of employees; the board entered closed session and the public portion of the meeting ended.
Vote tallies: roll-call votes for the recorded action items were positive and recorded in the transcript; board members present voted in favor on the items listed above. (Transcript roll-call lines record each member's vote.)
