At its regular meeting, the Litchfield Community Unit School District 12 Board of Education approved a slate of routine and programmatic items alongside adoption of the district’s strategic plan.
Consent agenda items approved included the April 21, 2026 minutes, payment of bills and the treasurer’s report; administration reported April 26 bills about $260,000, total funds ending balance around $18.5 million and operating funds about $15.7 million. The board also completed second reading and adoption of policy revisions from issue number 121.
New‑business votes recorded during the meeting included approval motions (motion and second recorded in each case): an intergovernmental agreement for joint cooperation and operation of an area career center; annual renewal of membership in the Illinois Elementary School Association (to permit middle school sports participation); the 2026–27 consolidated district plan (required for grant applications); a resolution appointing Dr. Kelly Mlan as the district’s authorized IMRF agent; a cooperative agreement with Lilyad Learning Center; a six‑year contract extension with Envision Math (administration reported the six‑year cost as approximately $210,000 and that Mrs. Thompson was negotiating some terms); a program agreement with Greenville University for field experience and clinical practice placements; a memorandum of understanding with Teamsters Local 525 that offers a voluntary retirement notification incentive ($500 after a one‑year notice and an additional $250 if the employee remains the full year); and an agreement with School Financial Services to support the business office through current staffing transitions.
Administrators noted that several items were routine annual renewals or updates required for compliance or program continuity. For procurement items with budgetary impact, administration indicated the Envision Math renewal will be included in the district’s next fiscal year budget and that some contract terms remained under negotiation.
Where votes were taken, roll‑call votes were requested; the transcript records the motions, seconds and roll‑call voice responses but does not transcribe full individual tallies for each vote. For each motion presented, administration recommended approval and the board proceeded with roll‑call voting and subsequent agenda items.
The meeting closed with a motion to enter closed session at 6:51 p.m. to discuss personnel and legal matters.
