I'm Juliet Payton and I'm the March student of the month here at West Chicago. I'm involved in the girls soccer team. I've been a part of it for four years. I've been on varsity for 3 years. I write for the Wildcat Chronicle. I've been a student ambassador my junior and senior year and I'm also in NHS. What I've really loved about WGO over my four years is the community. like we have so many different types of people, different interests, everyone has different like clubs, activities, all of this. And at the same time, everyone can still come together, become friends with people from all different grades. There's really just a strong community here at West Chicago. A piece of advice I would give to my younger self, I wish I got more involved earlier. Everyone says to get involved, like that's the most common answer, but it really is great because you meet so many more people.

The real question is, after serving on this board for eight years, why are we in this financial position? That's a question employees in this community deserve answered. And I want to remind you something you personally said to me, that if you, Trustee Bender and Trustee So, had simply not rubber-stamped on certain decisions, we would not be in this position. That statement is deeply concerning because board members are not elected to rubber-stamp decisions. Your responsibility is oversight, accountability, and asking difficult questions before the district reaches financial instability. At this podium, that is exactly what member many staff members and community members have been asking for, transparency, accountability, and leadership that is willing to address these issues honestly. Trustee Wal- Raleigh, at the last board meeting, you stated, "They got word that CTA was running a test to see if they could rattle the district, and we became abrasive, and it became personal, and personal attacks and personal innuendos against different people's spouses and children in the district." That statement is simply false.

>> Yes. Good news. Nothing's changed. Only one thing's changed and it's actually good. So I will go through it again uh for for for all intents of purposes but I think it's important to say at this start what you saw in March is what we're doing in there. So that again this is just sort of the process. It started in March. We got our state figures March 12th. We presented the budget March 18th and May 6. It's the public hearing the application of the budget so that your father can send it on. Um what we talked about in March holds true today. We operationalize the board goals and we made them our operational alignment. Those are now the district goals and we will build building goals and we build teaching goals and then build learner goals all from a unified perspective. So um operational effectiveness, trust and relationship, overall effectiveness, those are the primary areas when we built the tenative budget.
