But we'll see how it goes in the third against Price. Turniff will ground one to first base. Ferraro will toss to Price and he's out. And Turniff does not agree with that. It was a close play. Ferraro looked like he wanted to take it to the bag there, but Turnip was hustling down the line. >> Yeah, Price got right there in front of him. I think he was going to go to the bag himself and Price came down. Great job by Price, though. I mean, for a pitcher to have the wherewithal to race over there that quickly, you know, for a high school player was, you know, the right thing to do. It turns into one out. >> Now Ian McCoy on the second pitch of the inning grounds it to second and the throw is in time. Kapagna at second base. Two pitches and two soft ground ball outs for Ben Price.
It is not aid that we are receiving in the fiscal year 27 budget. Um And oh, extraordinary aid. I wanted to highlight this one for a second. We are budgeting extraordinary aid at $700,000 to budget to balance the fiscal year 27 budget. And um you might say, "Why did you increase it over the prior year?" But if you look down at the bottom, you can see that our actual extraordinary aid received from fiscal year 25 was $780,000. Um we typically don't want to budget extraordinary aid that high or close to actual. Um I would prefer this for this number to be much less, but we do need it to balance next year's budget. And we do have a withdrawal of capital reserve of 1,023,000. We will go through that project list a little bit later. Some revenue highlights. Um projected revenue is going to show an increase of 1.47 million or 1.47% on a $100 million budget.
We still have um one more. Thank you. Yeah. Who's who's acknowledging her? Eric. Mr. Olsen. Do we have Yep. We got one more. One more. Okay. Just checking. I have Jennifer Dodie. Please come forward. They're clapping. They don't even know what they're clapping for. Well, because we like her. I know. Everyone Everyone loves Ms. Doby, right? So, uh, I am excited to share with the board that our very own athletic director at Stag High School will be serving as the president of the Illinois Athletic Directors Association next year. She's currently president-elect and now she will no longer be elect. She will be the grand pooa herself. Uh Jen's commitment to student athletes and high school athletics is unquestioned and her leadership in the field is extensive. Not only is she an athletic director, she's also a Maxwell leadership certified coach, speaker, and trainer and John Gordon certified trader.
So design plan review is the process and the committee is the committee that's being formed under that process. So we're not we're actually talking about two different things. So when you're saying design plan review, we're talking about the process of the design plan review. And when we say committee, we're talking about the committee. Too many things in one paragraph. This was written by council. So I would be very cautious if any edits we make. I would >> I think what's so in this >> and it's this is exactly how it's written now. The only thing that's being changed is what's crossed out and underlined. So this is existing language. So this language >> I mean nothing stopping us if it is a opportunity to clean up and ask for >> approval. I don't think it's stopping us from doing that. have town meeting on May 6th.
>> 3-2 will come once more. >> That pitch looked high but you know batters it's two strikes. She just kind of fought that one off. >> Smart. >> Another 3-2 from Bradica to Irish. >> That one is way inside and well high. And that ball by Guyra was thrown over the head of Bradica >> and Messer will take time. Yeah, good job by the infielders there to be aware of ball getting thrown over the pitcher's head. Um, >> it looks like Bradica's day is done. >> Yeah, >> it will go to Connory. Bradica, >> first two runners reach against him here and looks like he'll move to first and we'll probably get Laro moving either to third base or the outfield. >> Yeah. So Ian McCoy will move to third base. I I I believe Laro goes out to center field to join Lame and Turniff and Brad over to first as Connory come in the game.
>> I didn't realize how fast McCoy is. I mean, he I just saw him fly on that line. He's he's speedy. >> Ollie. A >> great great job by the fielders to get him out because he uh you know >> he was grimacing after walking to the dugout there. He's holding his hand. Don't know if he >> hit the bat the ball on the bat in a bit of an uncomfortable place. A lot of times that can sting a little bit. >> Hopefully he's all right. >> As two and0 to Olly Laro who bats for the second time when you get to the top of the lineup. He's 0 for one. >> Finally back to the top of the lineup. That's good. >> Yeah, >> it's only the fifth pitch of the inning for Price, but it's three and0. This looks like a rerun of uh the first time Oie was up where Price came to go low, got a lot of balls down low and in the dirty just kind of pitching up the same way.
Our state funding did increase this year 6%. It was capped, however, but for us it represents about $430,000 from the prior year. And then local tax levy is increasing at 2%. Uh okay. Um so, here we have state funding. What I wanted to show in this slide was just funding by category going back to fiscal year 2017 and comparing it to what we are receiving in the current year, fiscal year 26, and what we're expected to receive in the subsequent year, fiscal year 27. Um some of these categories we still receive aid in, the majority of them we do. Other aids we used to receive or school districts in New Jersey used to receive um various state aids. One of them would be called the park readiness aid. Um the park was an assessment that is no longer um provided for our schools in New Jersey, but that was other aids.
Her leadership has expanded athletic programming at Stag High School, but most importantly, she has focused on the development of both students and coaches winning mindsets, providing trainings focused on the holistic development of athletes and coaches. She has brought the voice of athletes to the table with the development of a variety of collaborative student uh athlete groups where students talk about their experience experiences as student athletes. um about uh she works with them on leadership skill development and as always good sportsmanship. She has been value added to our students, coaches and staff at Stag High School and she is viewed as a leader both on the athletic fields, on the athletic courts, but also in the classroom. Our Stag leadership team has grown because of her commitment to school leadership. As the president of the Illinois Athletic Assoc uh directors association, Jen will bring her leadership talents to the state level as IA IADA provides professional development for athletic directors across Illinois, advocating for student athletes and high school sports programs.
So you have to make any changes you would need to make tonight. >> Yes. So hold on. >> You wouldn't be able to have the town council review any other changes that you make. >> So um are you talking about um Deepa the paragraph under 9.6.2 that paragraph. So it talks about it says design review instead of design plan review right >> it says form design review is conducted by a committee. Whereas >> the way you keep saying it, it's like you make it sound like it's three words together. It's form period. Right. That like stops it >> just like under that it says applicability and authority period. So this is how the sections are broken down. This is how it's written in the entirety of the bylaw. All of the bylaws, not just this. >> Oh, it's very similar to the applicability and authority talking about.
Unfortunately Connor has been warming up a little bit between innings. So he's had some nice practice throws there from third base as well over over the over the first base. had some ropes thrown across so it's not completely cold. >> Yeah, he's only thrown five innings so far this season. Believe he pitched the game we uh did together first time. >> So, we'll see him again. >> Important that these guys do get in the pitch cuz if you know if the team does make it in the playoffs, games come up very quickly and you do need to have a deeper bench. um you know, if you come in with just a couple of pitchers, you you're going to you may win a game, but you're not going to last very long. So um you know, it's important to have a deep bench and and sometimes players aren't on that day.
>> Here's a three 0. >> Tough strike there. And it's three and one. >> That was a good he has a great fast ball. >> He does. >> 3-1 to Laro. >> That's straight two. about the same place as that last one. >> Yeah, just hitting the outside uh edge there. >> Right down the middle on on the outside edge. >> That's outside. >> Yeah, blowing away. First two batters were out on two pitches. Laro works a six pitch walk and that'll bring up Bradica here. Second base runner for the clockers. The first real mark on the stat line for Price. His first walk. >> First walk. I think Chris struck out the first time. >> He did. He did. >> Gets a hit here to keep his 500 out >> as Laro. >> We'll dive back into first. >> He's the guy you >> know can get you going offensively.
So, when you see 130,000 there, that is what that was referring to. The big takeaway for me um on this slide is that if you look at our enrollment going back to fiscal year 17, you know, 4,452 kids per the ASA, ASSA, or application for state school aid. Fiscal year 27 next year, and that is based on our October 15th count from this school year, 4,439 students. So, our our enrollment has remained relatively flat, you would say, but our state funding has been reduced by about 6 and 1/2 million dollars over that same time period. So, flat enrollment, but state funding reduced almost in half. Miscellaneous revenues, this is a little bit hard challenging to see and I apologize for that. Um but miscellaneous revenues is a big category for us that we use to um help balance our budget. So, some of these major categories are um building leases and facility rentals at the top there.
and also she will serve as a liaison with the Illinois high school um association IHSA um on policies and and things like safety reg regulations. So what she's doing is a really big deal. So join me in congratulating a really big deal in gender. All right. All right. All right. Next, we have our curriculum spotlight, Dr. Huffman. All right. Good evening. I want to invite our T-Bolts up uh for this month's curriculum spotlight. So, this month marked a milestone as we concluded our second year of ACT for our 9th, 10th, and 11th grade students. In addition, ACT itself is undergoing its most significant overhaul in decades. Tonight's video showcases the work here that happened at Victor J. Andrew to prepare our students for all of these transitions. Not only in transition from SAT to ACT, but from ACT to ACT enhanced uh which is a new version of their test.
>> Yeah, it's a subheading >> that a sub. >> And then what is design plan review? That's the name of the title of the bylaw. That's that's what this is titled under under section 22. This is under 9.6. >> I've always thought the plan sounded a little funny in design plan review because we never say that. But I think at the time it was site plan review and design plan review. >> And it might be something we want to change at that at some point. But um here we're just trying to I've always thought it sounded a little funny myself, but here >> yeah, [snorts] >> as JZ has been saying, we're just trying to >> Yeah. As a designer, plan plan review is different. Form is different. Threedimensional, >> right? Is it just me? >> [laughter] >> Anyway, I mean if architects look at this, >> it gives a very bad impression of the town.
So you you need to have people to fall back on. So you want to give these guys playing time uh you know during the year. He's got a nice gallery behind him watching him and kind of enjoying the game from the best seats in the house. >> The umpires decide that's enough warm up. But >> yeah, >> so it'll look like the official defensive changes. It'll Clark will go from second to third. McCoy will go in from center to second. Ratica from the mound to first. Connory from third to the mound. And Laro goes from first to center field. So just about everyone getting a new position for the clockers. >> Wow. Put in one new player and then uh four of the five players on the field change. >> Caleb Luzon will bat. He's 0 for two. >> So farwell's on second base. Irish is on at first.
That's ball one. >> Price's pitch count. 32 pitches. >> Looks like he could go all seven here easily. >> Here's the one. That one's spiked, but a great stop behind the plate by the catcher Caldwell. and he'll go to talk with uh Price here as he's thrown some balls in the last couple at bats. >> A smart move there by the catcher running out and the coach ran out too when he saw the the catcher went out just to have a talk with Price right now before things get away from him, settle him down, get his head back in the game and he's playing a great game so far. So >> very smart uh coaching and play there by by both the catcher and the coach >> ahead two and nothing >> with Lar on first. >> Here's the two. >> It's a ball. Close one and it's three and out.
So, we do lease the Evans um school as we're aware. We did have some lease space this year that we won't have next year in MMS and DMS. Um and we do receive facility rentals. So, uh the MRC rents um facility space from us and and several other organizations around town. Um we do sell surplus assets. So, things like school buses can be used to offset or include in this kind of catch-all category of miscellaneous revenues. Bank interest continues to generate uh significant revenue for us. We earn over $500,000 a year from banking interest alone. Uh and then clubs and activities fees help to offset the cost of those programs. And then insurance surplus also helps to offset the cost of our insurance premiums. We are members of the BCIP JIF, so it's pooled insurance. So, we pool our risk with many other districts across the state.
The overarching goal was simple to build competence in the testing format. So the instructional team led by Dr. Ladia designed a comprehensive system that supported students where they were both in and out of the classroom. Juniors participated in an ACT kickoff meeting where they looked at their fall results and they set goals for their spring. The team integrated tools like no red ink and Albert IO into their daily instruction. Teachers bridge the gaps between their course content and the specific demands of ACT. They utilized their uh T-Bolt time to unpack the how of the test, refining strategies that were necessary. They hosted evening review sessions focused on specific skills. Uh the dedication of our students is present because over the students here at VJA answered over 40,000 practice sessions asynchronously um to prepare for this this test. The level of initiative is only possible when kids feel supported and prepared.
Okay. >> Yeah, I see. I see that. So that form, you were looking at that form as an architectural term versus a legal term or a not not even a legal term, a heading say >> because planned review is different. Form is different. >> Yeah. So form forum means how the committee is going to be organized. >> Yeah. >> Um I think it it reads okay. Thankfully most people who are going to read it are not architects. No offense to [laughter] >> and again this is consistent >> the rest of ours need >> yes >> you need to run the entire bylaw through cha >> it may not be >> make it >> try different you know different requests make it sound like an architect now try comedian but I think we're good to go >> okay so we're good to go with that just that the change from of three to five members and otherwise otherwise we're good to go >> and I'd just like to use this opportunity to just when we are doing such changes we should use that opportunity to clean up not as an opportunity to say this is what was there it doesn't make sense because now we are putting our names on these things so I think I I don't think it's a very positive attitude to say this is what it is.
Nobody out here. here. Top of the fifth inning here for Norton >> and Gu will go out to the mound. Tough position for Connory to come in. Um although he's not responsible for the two runners on the base if you know they do score. You don't he doesn't want them to score. Um but it's tough to come in and start your pitching with no outs and two runners already having spots in the infield. Connory just trying to get communicated well with Guero. There seems to be a little bit of communication issue between first pitch. Looks like they're going to try to lay down a bunt here. It's popped up and Brada makes the catch. Oh, and he throws back to second >> and it's wild. >> You know, again, smart play there by Bradica to quickly throw over um to second base even though it wasn't a great throw.
