Parkland College trustees vote on FY2026 audit and $7.66 million in grants tonight
Trustees also will hear estimates for the college's 2026 tax levy before the final levy comes to the board in November.
CHAMPAIGN - Parkland College's Board of Trustees is scheduled to vote tonight, Wednesday, Oct. 14, on accepting the college's audited FY2026 annual financial report, according to the agenda and board book the college posted. The regular meeting starts at 7 p.m. in Room U325 at 2400 W. Bradley Ave. and online through Microsoft Teams. A 5:30 p.m. special meeting lists public comments and a closed session.
Trustees also will hear what the college estimates it needs from its 2026 tax levy, a step Illinois' Truth in Taxation law requires at least 20 days before a final levy is adopted. The board book does not list the estimate; it says the final levy comes to the board in November, and the board's calendar shows a Nov. 18 meeting.
On the consent agenda, trustees would accept five outside awards totaling $7,655,000, led by $3.5 million in congressionally directed spending for a dental clinic expansion, a five-year, $3 million U.S. Department of Education Title III grant and $1.05 million in congressionally directed spending for aviation. A personnel report is also up for action.
