001Good evening. At this time, I'd like to call the regular meeting of the board of education of February 18th, 2026 to order at 557. >> Patricia Bokov, >> Andrea Delati here, Allison DS >> here, >> Stephanie Fiori here, >> Inasada here, >> Jennifer Ziggler. >> Also in attendance, we have Dr. Hartzmus, Dr. Stabroot, Dr. Lea, Miss Manganelo, Mr. Humbles, Mr. Groby, Mr. Moranto, Miss Groki, Miss Howlett, Mr. Amsler, Miss Sandlebach, Miss Fishells, Miss Megalone, Miss Fastler, and Miss Bow. We have a please stand for the pledge algiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands. One nation under God, indivisible with liberty and justice for all. I would like to entertain a motion that the board of education establish the consent agenda as presented. >> Take
002the role. >> Delati, yes. DS, yes. Iwanio, oops, sorry. Fiori, [snorts] >> yes. >> Sada, >> yes. >> Ziggler, >> yes. Yep. Passes. I'd like to entertain a motion that the board of education approve the consent agenda. Any com questions, comments, or concerns? Take the vote. Delati, yes. DS, >> yes. >> Sada, >> yes. >> Ziggler, [snorts] >> yes. There are no items removed from the consent agenda. We'll go to the next item. Any public participation? Okay. No public participation. We'll move on. Um principles report and enrollment reports. We just wanted to point out to the board that the representation looks a little different [laughter] getting ready for this spot next on our agenda. We just wanted the board to take a look at all the things that are happening in our buildings. Um, one
003thing that just wasn't mentioned, but I wanted to make [clears throat] a special point was to acknowledge one of our district 81 staff members who is recently recognized from the Illinois State Board of Education. Um, she was an award recipient for the Those Who Excel Award from the state. Miss Marcela Baron, who is a bilingual Spanish pair professional at Kennedy School. Um, she received a special recognition in the educational service support category. So, we just wanted to acknowledge her. She will be attending awards banquet down in Normal, Illinois in April. So, we will recognize her after that banquet. But we just wanted to point out [clears throat] that special recognition and share how proud we are of our fellow. >> Congratulations. That's fantastic. >> Good job. Now, what we're all here for, >> the example
004of excellence, Washington's musical, Beauty and the Beast. >> Yeah. This this musical, we are so proud that 60 of our Washington school students are participating in the musical this year. Um, next week is their musical week. They will perform four times during the school day next week across the district and then they will have two evening performances. Um, so we wanted to thank our families. Thank you all for bringing your children here tonight. Thank you for your commitment [clears throat] to this production, getting your students to and from rehearsals, supporting, encouraging them at home. It means so much. It doesn't happen without your support. So, we are going to turn it over to our preview. We want to um officially recognize also some of our directors who are here with us tonight. We have Miss
005Burke, we have Mr. Soliss, and behind the scenes we have Miss Lee. Um, and we want to thank all of our directors and administrators as well. So without further ado, Beauty and the Beast Junior, [applause] >> this is rare. If there's anything we can do to make you stand more comfortable here. Anything. Anything at all. >> I am a little bit hungry. >> Except that >> Well, you have the master said to talk about the next go hungry. >> Fine. Glass of water. Cross the bread. Then shut up. Now she's our guest. We must make her feel welcome. Yeah. >> All right, dear. But keep it down. If the master finds out, it'll be our next. >> Of course. Of course. But you want to see a little music. music. It is the deepest kind
006ever welcome. And now we must flex as the dining room presents our guest. Put our folks to the test. Tie your napkin around your neck and milk. Why we only lift dry cigar stuff? >> It's delicious. >> Don't believe me as the dishes. They can't see they can't dance a little. I will prepare for it cuz I'm off the flat sick candlesticks. If [clears throat] it's fine dining, we suggest we are guest while the has ship hot or two. She's our guest. She's our guest. She's our guest. She's our guest. Our guest are guest. [music] We are guest. Our guest our years and we're obsess lights. Let us help you. Let's be our best. [screaming] [music] [applause] >> [cheering] >> Let's give our musical students one more [applause] round. OPPORTUNITIES like this families are are
007so special and here in district 81 we are so proud and we can't wait to see the final full production next week. So we hope to see you all there um for the evening performances. We want to thank all the that are part of this production. I know I mentioned just a few names, but everyone's time and energy that you pour into Saturday rehearsals and costumes and set design, that whole process does not go unnoticed. So, let's give a big round of applause TO [applause] [applause] FAMILIES. I believe that people will be able to meet more students in the wow space. They are changing out of some of their costumes and enjoying a cookie to go to thank them for coming this evening. Um you you don't have to stay for our entire business meeting.
008You're welcome to. We thank you for coming and bringing your children out this evening and we look forward to seeing you all next week. >> So, we're going to continue on, but thank you very much for bringing your children this evening. Thank you for THE VERY [applause] I CAN'T WAIT. That looks fant. >> He looks super cute. It does. >> They did such a nice job. >> Yeah. [clears throat] Yeah. >> Oh, okay. >> [snorts] >> Yeah, it's fine. No worries. >> [snorts] >> She's not here. >> So, we'll let the principal go first. >> Okay. Okay. >> All right. On to board business. Um there's one item. The IASB West Cook Division meeting will be April 9th and it will be hosted at Washington School. Uh, we're all registered for that and I I
009think we have quite a few people that have registered to come to the meeting. So, that'll be exciting. I'm hoping someone will go down the slide. >> The doors open just for that event at 5:30. So, the board could be present at 5:30. We have Washington administration and teacher leaders who will be providing tours of Washington school for those who are interested in touring the facility um before the event begins at 6. And the topic for that division meeting is going to be AI. So I hope it's well attended. Thanks for nominating our district. >> Oh, you're very welcome. [laughter] >> We're really excited to showcase our facilities. We're proud of them. >> Good. Um, on to old business. There's no old business at this time, so we will move on. New business. Um, she's
010not here yet. >> Yeah, we're actually going to do a flip-flop. Um, we're waiting for Liz Hennessy uh to arrive from another bead meeting. So, we're going to actually ask that our principles and assistant principles present the winter map data first. So, whenever you guys are ready, we'll have you come on up. Could you sing it like they did the whole thing? [laughter] Little costumes or something? [laughter] >> There you go. >> All right. So we are so excited tonight to be presenting our Windsor map data with you all. Um so we will take a look at map and read scores for each of our schools. Um starting with starting with um Kennedy school. Um so you see a couple of different images on the screen. Um from the top image shows our growth from
011fall to winter. Um so you can see that Kennedy students demonstrated exceptional growth. Our median growth percentile from fall to winter is the 69th percentile meaning that Kennedy students grew more than 69% of students nationally. Nearly 2third of our students are growing at or above the 61st percentile. That tells us that our differentiated instruction is really having a significant impact on our student learning. Even more importantly, that growth has translated into higher achievement. So on the bottom, you see two different quadrant graphs. The one on the left is our fall quadrant graph. The one on the right shows our winter quadrant graph. Um that middle horizontal line, um we hope to be above that in the higher achieving section. Um, but you'll notice that our um, dots, which represent our four different grade levels at
012Kennedy School, moved from the yellow section, which is um, higher growth, lower achievement, over to higher growth, higher achievement. Um, so this is kind of a trend that you'll see um, at all of our schools. So in the fall we were achieving at the 46th percentile which is slightly below that national average and at the winter we increased to the 61st percentile overall as a school. Um we also overall reduced the percentage of students in the lowest percentile bands. Um in the fall we had 44% in the in the lower two percentile bands down to 26% in the winter. and we increase the percentage of students above the 60th percentile for over half of our students. Um the next graph you are all very familiar with, but just to uh remind you that blue bar
013represents the observed growth for each of our four grade levels at Kennedy School um for reading. Um so that represents the average change in RIT scores from fall to winter. So to take a look at the kindergarten bar, you'll see that kindergarten gained an average of about 17 points in their RIT scores from fall to winter. And the projected growth um from NWA is about eight points, which is shown by that orange diamond. So we always hope that our blue bars are taller than the orange diamond. Um and you can see that for all grade [snorts] levels they are which show that all of our grade levels are achieving higher than is expected by NWA. Um typical growth varies from grade to grade. So we can't compare the height of the bars. Um but it
014is awesome to see that all of our grades are achieving um above average growth. We also want to take a look um at our students um compared to the percent the number of students who are meeting or achieving their winter targets. And the chart that that was at the bottom showed um thank you. The chart that the bottom shows the percentage of students who met their winter targets. So again, we're very proud of all of our students and our teachers for working so hard um to achieve awesome growth and meeting those targets. In math, you will see that we also did an amazing job. Our medium growth percentile is the 82nd percentile. Um, more than half of our students are above the 80th percentile for growth. Um, which shows very strong instructional impact. >> Back
015one. No offense. Yeah, >> that growth has translated into higher achievement. So, we moved from the 53rd percentile in the fall to the 71st percentile in the winter. And we also reduced the percentage of students in the lowest achieving band from 16% down to just 4% while increasing the number of students performing above the 80th percentile. And again, you'll note that all grades at Kennedy are in that high growth, high achievement quadrant on the right. And then again, you'll see the observed growth for all grade levels in math was much higher than expected from NWA. And we are extremely proud of the percentage of students who met their winter target. As you can see the percentages at the bottom of the screen. Okay. Along with Kennedy, our Washington Wildcats have also demonstrated exceptional growth. For
016reading in the fall, our medium growth percentile was the 48th and by winter that increased to the 64th percentile, which was a 16 point gain. We also saw a meaningful shift in student performance levels. The percentage of students in the lowest 2 percentile bands dropped from 39% in the fall to to 22% in the winter. At the same time, students in the top two bands increased from 35% to 54. That means that more than half of our students are now performing above the 60th percentile nationally. In terms of growth, our median growth percentile was the 75th. And this means our typical student grew more than 75% of similar students nationwide. Additionally, 41% of students demonstrated growth above the 80th percentile. So overall achievement is rising, lower performing groups are shrinking, and students across the building
017are demonstrating accelerated growth. We're very proud of the progress our students have made in literacy. Um this slide shows our winter uh reading growth by grade level. So in fourth grade, students grew about 11 RIP points, which is well above the projected norm of 3 to four points. In fifth grade, students grew about eight RIP points, also exceeding the projected norm of 2 to three points. Additionally, 85% of our fourth graders and 83% of our fifth graders met their winter target winter growth targets. So, overall, both levels are outperforming national growth expectations and demonstrating strong reading progress. Um, shifting over to Washington's math data. This slide shows our math results from the math test. Our median percentile increased from the 47th in the fall to the 59th in the winter, which was a 12point gain.
018The percentage of students in the lowest band dropped from 16% to 5, while students above the 80th percentile increased from 12% to 20%. Our median growth percentile was the 78th with 48% of our students growing above the 80th percentile. So overall, we are proud to see strong achievement gains and accelerated math math growth across the school. In fourth grade, students grew approximately 14 RIP points compared to a projected norm of about seven, which is nearly double the expected growth. In fifth grade, students grew about 11 RIP points, exceeding the projected norm by roughly five to six points. Additionally, 86% of fourth graders and 78% of fifth graders met their winter growth targets. Overall, both grade levels significantly outperform national growth expectations with a strong majority of student students meeting their goals. And for Lincoln Middle
019School, we'll start with reading. Uh [snorts] you can see for Lincoln Middle School, our median growth percentile with the 61st percentile. Uh means that we that our students grew 61% more than the students nationally. When we look at fall to winter, we see that we had steady growth from the 52nd to the 55th percentile. And this is represented in the quadrants below. And we're always looking to move those dots to the right top corner, which is the high achievement, high growth area. And as you look at the dots of the quadrants, you can see that we're moving in a good direction uh for Lincoln Middle School's reading. And then when we look at uh when we look at our growth here, we [snorts] look at the the blue bar represents the observed growth. And again,
020the orange diamonds represent what the projected growth is. And so for our data, it's sixth grade was projected to grow 1.5 and they actually grew three and 60% of our students met their winner target. In seventh grade, they were projected to grow 1.3 and they actually grew an average of three points. And 59% of the students met their winner target. And for eighth grade, they were projected to grow one point and they actually grew an average of six points. and 70% 72% of our students met their winter target. Then we go on to math. Again, here you see that we're in the medium growth percentile is 68th percentile. And then again from fall to winter, we're seeing again steady growth from the 50th percentile to the 61st percentile. And again, you see those little dots
021moving up to that high achievement, high growth area. So again, we're moving in the right direction uh with our data. And then lastly, uh again, we're looking at the observed growth and projected growth. So we look at sixth grade, the projected growth was 5.3 and they actually grew an average of nine points. And 75% of our students met their winner target. And then seventh grade projected projected to grow 3.7 and they actually grew an average of seven points and 70% of the students met their winner target. And then eighth grade was projected to grow 3.2 two and they actually grew an average of nine points and [snorts] 74% of the students met their winter target. >> All right, the next report we're going to look at is the student growth summary report at Kennedy School.
022Um or actually for all of our reading, all of our schools. Um the student growth summary report highlights and compares our student growth with schools across the nation. The school conditional growth index is useful to compare growth between grades or groups. And a value of zero means that particular grade levels growth met the projection exactly as expected. And you will notice that all grades in SD81 grew more than expected on their winter reading assessment. So we're super proud about that. And looking at math with this report, our student growth in the math from fall to winter is also a cause for celebration. And you'll notice that all of our grades in SD81 grew more than expected on their winter math assessments. Um, this graph is really nice to look at because you can just see
023the growth we've experienced as a district over time. So, if you look back to 2022, we only had 49% of our students meeting or exceeding their targets um in math um at 49% of them, whereas in 2026, we are up to 81% of students meeting or exceeding in math. Same for reading. In 2022, we had 48% of students meeting or exceeding. And now, we are at 76%. Um, so you can really see how our targeted instruction has helped our students come out of that COVID pandemic era. Um, and you can also see uh the dotted line shows how NWA adjusted the norms that are expected from 2020 to 2025. But even after those adjusted norms, we made progress from 2025 to 2026. This slide shows that our district reading performance is consistently above national norms.
024Our students are performing above the national average in eight of the nine grade levels. Kindergarten and fourth grade are showing the largest positive gap with kindergarten per performing 7.9 RIP points higher than the typical kindergarten student nationwide and fourth grade performing 5.3 points higher than the typical fourth grader. And this slide shows that the majority of our students are reading at or above grade level. Every grade has more than half of the students that are above the 50th percentile, which is really something for us to celebrate. Um, ranging from 55 to 80%, which really shows strong reading achievement across our district. Looking at our math data and map, um on the chart on the left, you'll see our district's mean scores, which are in blue, and our national norm scores, which are in orange for
025each grade level. This chart highlights a very positive trend. Our district is consistently outperforming the national norms. The chart on the right shows you just how much above our national average we are at each grade. Uh first, you're going to see tremendous growth right from the beginning. Our kindergarten students are entering our system with a significant advantage of 12.2 points above the national norm. You will see that we are also successful in maintaining that competitive edge. Every single grade level from kindergarten through 8th grade is performing above the national average. We also see that the data shows a strong finish in 8th grade where students finish their middle school experience 6.1 points ahead of their national peers paving their way to success going into high school. And then this slide analyzes our students placements within
026the national achievement tiers. In the far right column, you'll see how many of our students are performing at or above grade level in math with over 50% of our students in all grade levels being above grade level. Looking at the columns, the three columns on the uh left side of the chart, we have also highlighted the amount of students that are performing in the top three tiers of math. As you can see, we have a lot of students throughout our district performing in these top tiers. We're so very proud of our math department and students as this data reinforces that our math instruction is working. We're not just meeting standards. We're consistently moving our students ahead of the national curve across our entire K through8 spectrum. Thank you. Very nice. I love the new graphs.
027It's very nice. Change it up a little bit. >> I mean, I just want to thank our principles and assistant principles for your leadership. Uh I feel like the growth that we're seeing is not by accident. So, thank you so much for your intentional, focused conversations around data and using data to guide instruction um and make changes. But it also, this magic is happening because of what happens in our classrooms every day with our with our teachers and our staff. Um, not only do they work hard to differentiate so that students meet their winter target, but we're back to having conversations about how many students are at grade level and how many students are are leaving prepared for the next grade level that we're we're getting them ready for. So, they're being responsive. They're looking
028at every student's needs and they're meeting their needs and um they're committed to every student's success. So, thank you to Dr. Sabru. Um we had a really awesome data dive with the principles and assistant principles. Um some nice new representations of our data. So, we hope that the board is as proud as we are of the winter progress of our students and we can't wait to see this momentum continue into the second half of the year and and see where we end the year in the spring. >> Thank you. Thank you very much. That was interesting. It's always nice to see that we keep going up. It's just it's just so encouraging. So, keep up the work. Thank you. >> Liz isn't here yet. Okay. All right. We'll continue on to new business. That was
029it. Right. action that >> you might as well dismiss the staff then you can wait for Liz. >> Okay. So, we're waiting for Liz. You're more than welcome to leave. Thank you for coming. I dipped some pretzels and chocolate. If you'd like a pretzel on the way out the door, enjoy and thank you very much. Pause it here cuz we're going to wait for Liz Hennessy to come in. >> Thanks, guys. >> You just lost that on my table. >> Give us a green light. >> Whenever you're ready. Thank you, Eric. revisit that. Um, >> sure. >> And this evening, I would like to welcome um, Liz Hennessy from Raymond James with the report for us. Thank you so much and thanks for having me and waiting for me to get here tonight. Um, I'm
030here to talk to you about the opportunity to refund your existing bonds or refinance for some savings. So, I'm going to start uh this presentation with a little overview of the bond market. Um, we've had a lot of data out. CPI has come down a bit. Uh, retail sales were not great, which is bad news for the economy, is actually good news for the bond market. Um, we've got uh some Federal Reserve speakers on the calendar. We've had several rate decreases. We expect there to be two more rate decreases in this calendar year. And the um graph on the top shows the supply of municipal bonds, which has been really large uh in 25 compared to prior years. And on the bottom we have the demand for municipal bonds through looking at municipal fund flows.
031So when you see the green bars going up that means there's a strong demand for investors to buy municipal bonds. When the red bars go down like they were in the pandemic there was a lot of selling of municipal bonds. So the market's pretty strong. This graph shows uh where interest rates have been for tax exempt AAA rated bonds. Uh on average over the last 30 years, you've got on the bottom of the x-axis the years and the yield on the y ais. The red line is where we are today. So you see the red line is below the blue line which shows you know through the years uh 1 through 19 rates are lower than they have been on average over the last 30 years. Um now we're going to talk about the district's
032debt in particular. Uh the district's debt limit is uh 27 million uh 29,000. Um this is actually some oh five can I read I can't read that far I should look at my screen 527 million um at 6.9% of that the statutory debt limit is 36 million and uh you have outstanding debt principal and interest of around 41 million. So you're still a little over your debt limit but that doesn't matter for refinancing. you've got a working cash limit that's positive. That formula shows that there's an 11.8 million ability to issue non-referendum working cash bonds. Um, here is some of the changes in the interest rates uh between January 1 of 25 and February 6 of 26. Here you can see the rates have gone down over the first 10 years with the Fed rate
033decreases. Yet on the longer term rates have gone up, much of that driven by the tariffs that we've ex experienced. But [clears throat] your bonds that are eligible for refunding are in those first 10 years. Okay. So sorry if the print is small here, but this shows the outstanding debt service. So, the district issued 30 million of referendum approved bonds in and your outstanding non-referendum bonds mature uh in levy year 2035. The referendum bonds in 2040. So, you know, you're paying down your debt. You're getting there. The far column on the right that's in green represents the nonreferendum borrowing authority that you have under the tax cap. um you have what's called a debt service extension base and that is about 1,286 shown in the third column from the left and that is the amount
034of nonreferendum bonds you can pay off each year. Um then the next column is CPI and you can see we estimated 2.5% year but 2.7% is the actual 26 CPI. The next column moving to the right is the nonreferendum debt service. So you can see those amounts are lower than the uh debt service extension base. Next column shows those referendum approved bonds that go through 2040 and then the total debt service in your tax rate for debt which is right around.7. That's part of your overall tax bill. Again, that capacity is the difference between the debt service extension base in the third column from the left and the nonreferendum current DSEB debt service. So, it's only about 200,000 for the next several years, but it really starts to pop up in the year 2030 and
035thereafter. So when you think about when can I issue bonds next if you have capital projects really practically 2030 is the year. So this is a graphic of those numbers. The orange bars represent the payments on the referendum approved debt. The blue bars represent the nonreferendum debt service payments. The blue line represents that debt service extension base. And you can see in that year 2030 um that there's room under the uh debt service extension base. So that again is the year that is really going to be ideal if you have additional capital needs to issue more bonds. Okay. So let's talk about refunding uh refinancing I should say. Thinking thinking of it like your mortgage. You can pay off your mortgage and issue a new one at lower rates. That's what we're talking about today.
036So, you can only do that on municipal bonds when they're callable. And the 2016A and 2017 bonds are currently callable. Um, and they are callable typically 10 years after they're issued. Unlike a mortgage, you can't refinance municipal bonds anytime. You have to wait till you get to that call date. So, the good news is that the call date is um coming up uh for the 2016 AS. Uh they're callable already. Um June 126 and the 2017 bonds are also currently callable. Uh I believe also 61 of 20 uh 26. So 61 is June, but we can refund them 90 days before that. So what we've shown you here is a savings if we refund them um in the next month or two. Uh and then they close on May 7th. Um so in the green
037you see the savings. These are savings to the taxpayers. uh to together the two issues uh total $425,950 of interest savings. Okay, that's going to be over a number of years. Uh if we take the present value of that number, that's $350,290. Right? Now that 350,290 divided by the bonds we're refunding, which is just under 7 million, gives us a p a ratio of 5.02%. That's really strong. When I looked at this with Pasquali and Melissa a couple months ago, the savings were less than that. So rates have even come down since we initially talked about this. So this was just updated this week. Okay. And in the bottom, this just shows what happens if rates go down 25 basis points or rates go up 25 basis points. So, uh, you know, more savings if
038rates go down, less if they go up. Okay. So, here's the cash flow on each of these bond issues. On the 2016A, we're going to be saving about $30,000 a year for the next four years. On the 2017s, we're going to have negative savings in the first few years, but then savings of 60,000 or more in the next six years. So, you can see the total savings on each of those bonds individually. And if we put them together, we can see the cash flow savings for both bonds together. uh you know that $425,000 over time. It starts out to be about $15,000 a year and then it gets up to $60,000 a year. And you can see the savings annually for the owner of a $400,000 market value home. So it's not going to shake
039the earth in terms of savings for the taxpayers, but it's it's definitely something. And over time it's about, you know, just 90 $90.95. So again, it's not earthshattering to the taxpayers, but it is savings. And it is also um that ratio of 5% that we looked at on a prior slide, that is a really strong indicator. We usually like that ratio to be 3%. So we think the savings are are very good here. [clears throat] So, let me just pause here and see if you guys have any questions on the savings. It's again refinancing the debt. We're not stretching it out longer. We're not paying it off quicker. We're keeping the debt exactly in the same place and just taking the savings on an annual basis. >> Does anybody have any questions? >> Okay, great.
040Yeah. So, if if this makes sense to you guys, what we would like to do is come to your March 18th board meeting with a what's called parameters refinancing resolution. It's a bond resolution that authorizes Raymond James to go forward with a refunding bond issue assuming minimum savings target is met and within certain parameters and uh with final approval of board delegates that are identified in this resolution typically board president, superintendent and uh CSBO. And then we close it on April 7th and then the bonds would be refunded on May 7th. >> Okay. >> Does that make sense? >> Yes. >> Do we have all that? >> Okay. >> Thank you, Liz. >> Thank you very much for waiting for me tonight. >> Oh, you're welcome. Thank you for your time. >> Yeah. Happy to
041be here. Glad to see you. >> Thank you. questions. Okay. She wanted a pretzel. >> Liz, there's some um chocolate dipped pretzels there if you'd like some. >> Okay. [laughter] >> Thank you. Have a good night. >> Okay. I would like to entertain a motion that the board of education adjourn to executive session at p.m. to discuss personal and collective negotiating matters. >> Take the Telat. Yes. DS. Yes. >> Fiori. Yes. >> Sada. >> Yes. >> Ziggler. >> BCO seven. I would like to entertain a motion that the board of education reconvene the regular board meeting of February 18th, 2026 at 7:30. >> Take the role. Dad, yes. DS, >> yes. >> Fiori, >> yes. >> Sada, >> yes. >> Ziggler, >> yes. >> Okay. Do we have personnel? >> We do. >> Okay. Um,
