And you just quietly step into situations and make them better all over the building. So, over the course of her time here, we've just seen you grow in classroom management, collaboration, um and just the those day-to-day realities that fifth graders sometimes bring to the table that you're not always expecting. So, overall, just a wonderful human being. And this is very well deserved. You're welcome. Congratulations. >> [applause] [applause] >> Oh, you did great. You did great. Okay, and then is I read now? Yeah. Okay, I love that. Thank you. Thanks all for coming. Um so appreciated the students, parents. If you guys want to leave, you're certainly welcome to. If you want to stick around for the whole board meeting, you're also welcome to do that. But, if you would like to leave, now would be appropriate. Mrs. Aker, Mrs. Golden, who's up? Mrs. Golden. I'm going to put her on the Still recognizing Clinton Central Elementary.
Annual billing for base services is 255,636. Day services is 228,948. Combined billing is $484,584. Um, really quickly, monthly billing is for base services. Day services monthly billing is $19,79 for combined billing monthly of $40,382. Annual cost per square foot is $116 or excuse me $1163 for base services. Day services is $141 for a combined billing of $2.204. >> Yep. >> Okay. Our next uh bid that we have is perfection group. That's this group right here. Is it the same? It's both the same the same as what you emailed me. >> Thank you. Okay. Um they have two different options proposed custodial options. Um so total annual partnership cost on option number one um is 837,572 an annual or excuse me a monthly payment of 69,797 and then option two is going to be 948,682 and that's for a monthly total of 79 057. Then our final bid for today and I apologize if I slaughtered his name is Bonnington Group.
Any discussion? >> Yes. Uh did you say 3.06 was the >> to buy? It's not on my written one here. It's the consideration to approve the resolution regarding potential purchase of property. >> That's 3.06. >> It's 3.06. >> Can we pull that out separate for >> It is not on. >> Yes, >> it's not on It's not on my That's why I was asking. >> Yeah. Could uh can we go back and and state what that is and make sure that the board has clarification on what we're looking at. >> And I I mean I understand you have print offs. It is on the iPad. >> Yes, it is right here. to approve a resolution regarding potential purchase of property. So, it is on the electronic one, but I would like to pull that one out separately and vote on it. >> Okay. So, for items 3.01 through 3.05, we have a motion and a second.
Did anyone have any questions about those? Okay, we'll go ahead and buzz on to the uh bonds. Uh bond 2021. I've got a note there for you. I'm going to stop reporting on this bond because there's really nothing substantial that we're going to be paying out of there. We'll continue to make interest and maybe lose some money depending on the markets in there, but nothing substantial. So, we'll probably, if you're okay with it, we'll just go ahead and eliminate that from our reports. >> Absolutely. >> Okay. But we'll go ahead and keep on bond 2022 because as we've talked about, we do have that encumbered to pay any retainage left on some projects. And right now, you can see that that balance in that bond as of um February 28th was 151 10350. And then we'll go ahead and move on finally to the GO um 724.
So we had to make a little bit of adjustment there, but our overall um calendars will be June 8th through the 25th. Again, Monday through Thursday. Um we talk about that being for our rising grades 1 through 8. So, when we talk about summer school, we usually refer to them as the grade they're going into for next school year. So, the rising grades 1 through 8 at all elementary and middle schools. At the high school, we'll continue once again to have some credit recovery options, as well as our online LTech option. LTech extends into July as well. Uh times at the elementary level will again be 8:00 to 2:00 uh with parent-paid aftercare available and 9:00 to 1:00 at the middle school. That's consistent with previous years. Transportation will be provided, breakfast and lunch provided at all those sites. LTech's the program itself, but LTech's the instance for Lawrence Township uh e-community.
It says there's a quorum of the select board members on Zoom. Uh in case they want to um address that and prevent an open meeting violation, it's up to you. Do no one speaking to that? >> Yeah. Does anyone want to speak? >> Uh >> I think would you like to come off mute and address this uh this finding? >> Can you hear me? We can hear you, Joe. >> We're not going to make any deliberations tonight. We're just here listening as citizens as well. So, uh, we don't have comments that they're their personal comments. Uh, they'd be individuals and not as a board. >> Okay. For those in the room who may not have been able to hear because it's a little quiet on the volume on our end, um the chair of the select board responded that they are not planning to deliberate on anything jurisdictional to them.
But um unfortunately in some cases we don't have that choice and to put people in but we are making every effort not to do that in terms of professional development to provide the resources to our staff and teaching our students neuro neurody divergent students and the consistency of our IEP implementation to support e English learner population instructional assistance PD in investing in our value core of equity particularly Ian works to advance anti-racism throughout our school communities and the restorative practices as we've touched before. In transportation, we were fortunate to hear a um presentation last week that we that you commissioned and we want to continue to ensure equitable access to sports after school um extracurricular activities as well as parent engagement and related district groups throughout. And we've been fortunate to do that this year where we've had some open houses and we've sent buses to people who didn't have transportation to bring people to our open houses and conferences at night.
Yes. Point nine million. And that's sustaining every year. Correct. Correct. So, going to school, we had nutritional classes. We had nutrition. I don't know that that made an impact. Um and and more so today. Um back then, we had home economics and so we learned to cook or or the boys learned to cook um um in in those classes. But again, I I just have a hard time for that kind of money that when you say that, you know, we've had 4-H programs, too, when we went to school. And they still have 4-H programs. Um but when you say that the more data, community-based, I still don't understand um trained people going into the community, how that really translates other than education because you've got all of the advertising going on on TV, all of the sweets and candies and sodas and everything else that is out there.
I don't know. It's a mystery. They didn't tell me. Um, uh, one acts are happening. Seniors, some seniors get to direct a show if they've taken the theater arts class. They get to independent study and direct their own oneact show, which I think is really cool. Uh, we had an improv show about two weeks ago. It went really well. It was hilarious. Uh, improv isn't supposed to be funny, but it is. Cater is in here somewhere. He would get mad at me if I said it was supposed to be funny. Um, Rock the Runway. Oh my goodness. I don't know if anyone in here saw Rock the Runway, but wasn't it amazing? Like 10 out of 10. Probably my favorite one yet. I've gone, well, I was in it the last three years, but I've seen it since I've been at the high school. It's amazing.
For these reasons, reducing staff or compensation will not solve the district's financial issues issues and risks undermining the very programs that help students succeed. We encourage the board to work collaboratively with staff to find solutions to protect both the district's financial stability and the quality of education our students deserve. So, thank you. Thank you. >> [applause] >> Thank you. I appreciate it. Next public comment I have is for Elizabeth Zamiska. Want to come on up, please? Hi. Hi. If you could please state your name and address for the record and home address. Yes, please. Uh Elizabeth Zamiska, 1277 Webster, Des Plaines. And you have to excuse me. I'm very nervous. Something I'm very passionate about. ICS is a community school serving children of Des Plaines within District 62. It is not a choice school. It is their home school. We and other families were given the option to attend at ICS through the district's lottery and bussing would be free for the duration of their time at ICS.
And so, even though we're bringing this information to you now, even beyond today, Jake and Keith are fantastic at looking at new and creative ways to meet the needs of all of our students. This is one of the years, at least in that I've been involved in Well, I've been involved in this for a while. Um that we have fewer classes that we're moving for cancellation. On the other hand, we have more classes with under 20 that um we would like to run next year. And whenever we have a standard course And when I say standard, I mean there are some courses that we don't list on the under 20 list because enrollment in the course is expected to be less than 20. For example, a special education course or an EL course or an intervention course. Those we do not list. There would be a lot of courses listed if we were to do that because the expectation, and sometimes by law, is for under 20 students in in a course.
Uh 7.5 is destruction of closed meeting audio recordings. 7.6 is the disposal of surplus assets. There were none. And 7.7 are the color portrait contracts for 2026 2027. We have a motion to approve the following. 7.1 7.2 2 7.3 7.4 7.5 7.6 and 7.7. >> So moved. >> Second.
That first year will be rough, but we will get through it. And then once we get into that routine, it should be smooth sailing. Um the biggest recommendation for implementing this is as health services as a school district, we need to communicate the change out. Because a lot of what we hear in the health offices, they're like, "Oh, I wasn't aware of that. I didn't know that." We hear it a lot. So, but we know it's published. So, to really publish this, to push it out, will help. The more we do, the more successful we will be. That is all I have. Does anyone have questions? [clears throat] I know I went through this very fast, but my understanding is you um this isn't new to you and you've um hopefully had a chance to look through the PowerPoint or the notes. I know our staffing like cuz I know what all your staff is in in school during the summer, right?
collaboration with preK and kindergarten and it goes beyond just the professional development but bringing the two entities together and having those conversations those rich conversations but with that we've also started started some kindergarten spotlight classroom teachers and so we have come together with nine of your kindergarten teachers they have received extensive coaching not just with your instru instructional coaches in your district, but also with myself and another coach, El Barnes. We have really we come here on a weekly basis and we get to really help promote those developmentally appropriate practices into your classrooms to guide instruction. That's what we want to see. We want to see the changes that are going to happen with that. And so it is really truly bringing these two together but overall it's the guidance and leadership through the OTL. So thank you. >> Yes. Thank you. >> So in that framework we really really take a look at that SEAL those social and emotional developmental needs of our students.
See what it has, [clears throat] the attention device, the transitional words, that can strong conclusion. So, that um our students are seeing that more and more, and understanding I'm not just going in and putting down a few sentences or a paragraph. I'm I'm making an effort to write that write the full essay. And then we have AP testing coming up in May. Uh finishing out the behavior grant for this year. We do have our virtual coaching calls. We also have in-person visits coming up. Dr. Lori's coming this week. She'll be at Prairie Crossing one day all day and at BC in the morning and then Otterbein in the afternoon. And her forte is going into classrooms and really working with students and modeling. Uh at Ben Central she will be doing some small groups of teachers and interacting with them. But in the elementary schools she will be in the classrooms.
The next thing we want to talk about obviously I read scores. This is a huge thing for us. Uh we finished just last week, but I do want to remind you that testing we are going to be testing again. This is just preliminary. So currently there are 79 students in third grade from the spring of '25 when they were in second grade, summer of '25, and spring of '26. So far we have a 77% passing rate for those students. Um the last score right there, spring of '26, that does include some of my fourth graders that have received a GCE, so those are some of the passing that actually had passing this year. Pretty happy about that. Um we will be testing the week of May 12th. Uh during that time, in between now and that May 12th, thanks to Mrs. Howard and her wonderful grant writing skills, we will be continuing with a tutoring program that we installed last year that really showed a huge increase in the number of passing rate we were able to do for our third graders.
Yes. Yes. Can I stand over here? Is that fine? Yep. Okay, I'm very excited to share this. So, as the testing coordinator of our school, um we have been in testing-palooza kind of all year long, but we are super excited to share our preliminary IREAD results with you all. Um, this is something Mrs. Aker and I did actually the beginning of the year um, to share our final results from last year and some exciting goals and plans that we had for this year and we are over the moon at how this shook out even for people if I tell my husband I said, "I know you have no idea what this means, but I am so excited about our IREAD data and we are so excited to share it." So, we have a lot of things to share that we're really excited about. So, we'll start with second grade.
Okay. And Bonneting Group is doing a monthly billing. Um it looks like um years one and two Okay, based upon our current custodial staff, the monthly billing years 1 and two would be $57,34643. That's it. Okay, that is all that we have at this time. >> Yes. >> What was the length of time you asked the bids to encompass because you mentioned one and two years in this one? Was it >> We asked for a 2-year contract or two-year agreement is what it would be. Okay. >> And then there would be a possibility for a one-year extension twice. Yeah. >> At your at the school at the school's >> discretion discretion. >> Yes. Yeah. >> Sir, real quick one. Uh you said that was a monthly there. >> That was a monthly, correct? >> That considered for a 12 month period period. >> Yes. >> Okay.
Is there any further discussion on those five items? Hearing none. Roll call, please. >> I will start with Trusty Dere. I, >> Vice President Moore, >> I, >> President Dunworth, >> I, >> Trusty Keeper. [clears throat] >> Hi, >> Trusty Hollingsworth. >> Hi, >> Trusty Ragland. >> Hi, >> and Trusty Gamler. >> Hi. >> Okay, that's uh, unanimous. And that passes. So now we'll move to 3.06. And I'd just like to say since this resolution involves Han Kefir representing the EVSC regarding the auction of the building at Washington Avenue Highway 41 and because Joe Kefir is my brother, I will abstain from this vote to avoid any perceived conflict of interest. So I'm abstaining. Okay. >> So we have a motion on 3.06 >> and a second. Any further discussion?
The very last page is F34 in your finance packet. In the last couple of months, I've told you that Mr. Gibney had some plans for some resurfacing over the summer. We're probably going to be using it, you know, for that. That was, you know, tenatively what we were looking at. We had some last minute billing that came in from signage very early on from the high school project that we went ahead and we paid out of here. You're going to see that expenditure next month. I did a prepay on it in March, so you'll see that in there. So, it's going to be off just a little bit. So, as of right now with those incumbrances for those prepays that I did for signage and then it was um uh the retainage for the middle school um flooring project of 4500, you'll see those next month.
