Question: Are Board of Education members required to approve final contracts totaling over $35,000?
Answer: Board Policy 4:60: Purchases and Contracts states that the Superintendent shall manage the District’s purchases and contracts in accordance with State Law. Illinois School Code outlines that any contracts awarded over $35,000 require the Board of Education to approve the proposal. In essence, the board sets the direction and approves the concept, while the administration implements the details and prepares the legally binding agreement in collaboration with the district’s legal counsel.
