Um this is an annual tradition of the NJRTC program to commemorate the commitment, hard work and outstanding leadership of our students with distinguished awards and to celebrate the change of staff as upper classmen pass down their ranks to the underassman.

Last Friday was opening night for this year's musical the 25th annual Penum County spelling be uh the drama club put on four wonderful performances throughout the weekend with special guests at each and even gave the middle schoolers an early look on Thursday of last. One last time, I'd like to acknowledge all the students who have been a part of the Easter community this past year and have made and who have made the culture more inviting and interconnected. These last two months of the school year have been and will continue to be very eventful for the student body. As of right now, uh we have 28 more days instruction and the seniors only have 22. So, we have to make every day last. Thank you so much,
005Elizabeth. Next, I'd like to turn it over to Miss Britney Walker for our community relations report. And Miss Walker is going to remind me that at the conclusion of this report, I'm going to pause and allow our students and families to leave if they would like to sign to do that. So, all you little guys in the front there, if I don't stop and pause, raise your hand forward. Okay? Promise. >> The picture. >> Thank you so much. Good thing everyone. Um, as you probably heard with our pledge of allegiance with so much, uh, emphasis from our students, um, we have some, uh, littleer audience members tonight, we're going to be celebrating them for their outstanding, uh, commitment to reading. And just so you all know, it's also National Library Week. This week, um, but
006their commitment to reading, um, not just for the district, but across the globe. So this past March, we had our fourth participation in the great reading tournament. Across the district, students logged an impressive, this is all students, 29,330 total reading minutes um in a one-mon tournament and that included 2,291 students across the district who actively participated by reading at least one book. Tonight we are going to celebrate the top 10 students of the district who also placed in the top 50 globally. >> That's round. >> Outside of these uh 10 students, a total of 55 students actually placed in the top 100 globally. So as a district, we did an amazing job for this round. Uh the average students read 15.2 two books and 206.7. That really is the number. If anybody wants to go
007ahead and give me a 6.7, you can. Um um but the average number was 26.7 minutes read. Uh this particular group far exceeded that. And I'll give you some of those totals in a minute. But our students absolutely did a wonderful job at completing 1,25 red books in English and 1,086 books read in Spanish. Um, so that dual language program and just our bilingual community is doing an amazing job at all things in reading. The books that were read were also categorized by title and what type of um values that came from those books. And so the values that our students read included responsibility, perseverance, teamwork, patience, and empathy. Those are the top categories of the books that our students read. And we love to see those types of things that will continue rolling throughout
008the district. So for tonight, I would like to recognize our first I will start with recognizing um our class. So we had we have a teacher here representing her class had the most participation in the district. So, if we can have Miss Kerber come to the front. >> So, she's here representing her class. Um, again, she had the most participants in her class across the entire district and for that program they are going to receive a gift card and that is for the teacher and each student will also receive a gift card from the program. So, it's very exciting. Right. And as you can see on the board, we have 10 students that are being recognized. Our top 10 students um read anywhere from 33 to 106 books individually and ranged anywhere from 436 to
009our top reader reading 1 1,134 minutes individually. So, I'm going to have you all come up and I'll read your names as you walk up. All the students that have your certificates, come on up. >> That would be Emily Levarez, Francisco Gutierrez, Alexa Gonzalez, Selenas, Anna Dominguez, Sophia Basante, Alexander Roa, Sophia Maya, Jay, Lisa Vel. Okay, you come up. uh Kelly Kakul and Uriel Herrera Rand from this group. Two students also won an additional prize for their reading. So can you please raise your hand? Alexa Gonzalez Selenas because she had an additional level of winning. She'll receive an additional prize. And Emily Nverz, raise your hand right here in this. Emily Narez was the Not only was she the number one reader, she read 1,134 minutes, she also is receiving an additional prize for a
010competition she was in. And she's receiving a certificate for four roller skating passes to Funway. Well, I'm going to have all of our readers and our teacher representative to come stand in front. We can take a picture with our board of education. But congratulations. Applause on getting their present. I'm hurt. Oh my. >> Congratulations to all. And now Dr. Herson's going to dismiss you all. Miss Walker, thank you for the reminder. Once again, boys and girls, congratulations. Thank you for all your hard work. Thank you for being such active readers. It's really going to take you far. We're going to pause real quick. Parents and students, you're more than welcome to leave. We know it's a school night. So, we'll take about a one minute intermission here. If you guys want to leave, you're more
011than welcome to. You want to stay, you're more than welcome as well. Let's give them one more big round of applause, please. What's the micro? I've met her. She puts on me like that. >> That's fantastic. >> That's a very unique >> you know Okay, we'll continue with our board meeting. Our next uh item under the communications from the superintendent is we have under district update C1, our human resources department will present our improvement plan. Uh this is our second to last one of the year and then we have our operations department in May. So if our human resource department can come up in the front with that team, we'd appreciate you guys coming up for your plan. Thank you very much. >> Thank you. To follow after the kids, I think we postpone. Um,
012good evening. I'm Dr. David Ballard. I'm the associate superintendent of staff and student services. I'm here with my colleagues, Miss Julie Schwarzoff, the assistant superintendent of human resources, Miss Amanda Sanderson, um, executive director of human resources, and then we have several members of our HR team. Uh, if they could please stand. They're shy. Um, so we have Maria Santa Barbara, one of our HR coordinators, Marissa Mendes Galan, one of our HR coordinators, Carly Fraenhoff, our data analyst, Eric Thoren, our desktop support, Viti Bermudez, and Sylvia Torres Morrow. We have a few members who are not with us tonight. Vincent Tappet, our generalist, and our two receptionist, Miranda Palasios and McDalia Torres. So want to introduce our team because they are critical to our work that you will see this evening. Thank you all. >> I
013said I used a clicker. >> Thank you. >> Um so just a little background in terms of just setting the stage. >> We deal with about approximately 1,800 staff members, three unions on average over the last few years. We will um throughout the course of the year do about 400 intakes of different employees and that includes certified staff, classified staff, department staff, pdium staff which could include >> um new hours, substitutes on >> um we average about 65 employee incidents per year. We need to deal with >> um our coordinators process on average about 325 sport approvals for salary related advancement requests and we average approximately 200 FMIA requests per year. So setting the stage for that you'll understand why we picked the goals that we did um to talk with you about this evening.
014In terms of our goals, there are two things that we wanted to really focus on for this school year. One is increasing our staff retention by developing wellness plans, negotiating uh bargaining agreements, enhancing our recruitment and retention pathways, and utilizing data and metrics for our staffing decisions. Secondly, we wanted to certainly focus on improving operational efficiency through enhanced utilization and implementation of electronicbased systems. Um that would include expanding the use of frontline central, expanding the use of our proactive recruiting, um implementing a case management solution, and developing consistent templates and workflows. One way we're supporting retention is through staff wellness. We've partnered with our employee assistance provider, All One Health, and we've added a wellness piece that provides employees with resources for healthy living and well-being at their fingertips such as healthy recipes, exercise videos,
015and articles to name a few items. In addition, staff have has access to focus webinars each month, which can be viewed on demand. We started the new year off with a goal setting webinar and this month our topic is stretching and movement. Lastly, for Cane County Institute Day, we offered four wellness sessions for staff which focused on stress management and overall well-being. We plan on expanding and publicizing these offerings even more in the future. We have also made strong progress in our collective bargaining work. Our SEIU agreement was successfully approved in December and negotiations with our IFT aft unit remain on track for completion before the end of the school year. Throughout the process, we have prioritized a collaborative and transparent approach grounded mutual respect and problem solving. This work is critical to advancing competitive
016and sustainable compensation while also strengthening trust and fostering a strong sense of belonging across our organization, both of which are key to recruiting and retaining top talent. In addition, we have expanded and strengthened our recruitment and retention pathways. This includes increased presence at job fairs, deeper partnerships with universities, and more intentional outreach to future educators through mock interviews and student teaching pipelines. We've also focused on strengthening the candidate experience from initial contact through onboarding so that individuals feel connected to our district from the very beginning. This work supports our goal of attracting high-quality candidates while building a culture where people choose to stay and grow. >> Uh next, uh we talked about increasing staff retention rates specifically using data and metrics for staffing decisions. So we had a goal of updating our retention and staffing
017dashboard for tracking staffing patterns. Uh we are currently in the process of staffing at all levels uh utilizing enrollment data in partnership with other departments. um specifically to a language and sheltered for uh English programming. Uh we have revamped and digitized our staffing process for all buildings. We've used spreadsheets. We've done a lot of um the work to uh do a lot of background sophisticated coding to make those spreadsheets work in conjunction one with one another uh with the goal of making that uh a more efficient and effective process for our building leaders and for our district leaders so that we can make uh timely and effective efficient decisions. Uh which will allow us to meet the needs of our students, our programs uh and our staff. also allow us to uh look at posting
018uh hard to fill positions in an early way and to make good timely decisions within the constraints that we have to work with whether that's budgetarily personnel uh class size those kinds of things. Um so we're really focused on using those kinds of dashboards and metrics to really be uh focused on making good decisions. In the area of operational efficiency, we've expanded our use of Frontline Central. We initially started with our hiring paperwork and onboarding processes. This has significantly reduced the amount of time that we take during our intake meetings by about 80%. New employees are able to complete the majority of their new hire paperwork prior to their appointment through Frontline Central. Now, we've expanded the use of Frontline Central to include employee name changes, resignations, retirements, and contracts. Frontline Central has automated many
019of our processes. For example, an automatic email will go out to different departments like technology, buildings and grounds, and finance so that they know when a new employees starting so that they can start their tasks for that new employee. And we've supported staff with training and step-by-step guides, particularly for our hiring managers. By using Frontline Central as our hub for many HR related tasks, we've improved consistency, reduced administrative burden, and created a more streamlined and userfriendly experience for our employees and our administrators. We've also expanded our use of frontline proactive recruiting. Using proactive recruiting, we can identify candidates that have viewed our open positions on our website and send them targeted emails inviting them to apply. We can search job seekers and send email campaigns notifying them of new opportunities and the system also seamless
020seamlessly cross-osts. This helps us build a pipeline of candidates and engage with potential candidates during our recruitment efforts. >> Um next as mentioned we we do on average deal with about 65 different on average about 65 employee incidents per year. So we have um recognized the need to have some solution to track that information and have a historical record to do so. We selected a case management system called Guardian which allows us to have a consistent way to track that information. It allows us to streamline uh incident reporting to track staff conduct and it serves as a hub for employee discipline. It also allows us as an HR team um to work with our building administrators to come alongside them and coach them through this process and to work in collaboration when we do have
021such reports. Um training and setup occurred during the summer and fall of 2025. uh and we began piloting with uh guardian with selected buildings in November of 2025 and by training uh as as cases came on board and we did that on a on an as needed basis with the idea that we'll continue to update that on an as needed basis. >> And finally, we've developed consistent templates and workflows for employee investigations and discipline. This work has established a people- centered growth focused approach that promotes fairness, consistency, and accountability while also supporting employees in their development. By creating clear processes and providing training and ongoing support to administrators, we are improving both the consistency and the experience of how these situations are handled. This strengthens our overall systems while reinforcing the culture of trust, clarity,
022and belonging across the district. As we look ahead, we will continue to build on this work by strengthening our systems, expanding proactive recruitment efforts, and deepening our focus on creating a positive and supportive uh employee experience. Thank you for your continued support of our human resources team and this important work. We appreciate the partnership and are happy to answer any questions. >> Thank you guys very much for the presentation. Really appreciate it. >> Thank you. Next, when we go down to um the next item on here, I'd like Mr. Albert to come up, the executive director of grants and finance to talk about an opportunity we have for a grant to partner with the city of Aurora. Thank you, Mr. Alrich. >> Thank you, Dr. Albertson. Board of Education. Uh we are pleased to have
023the opportunity to partner with the city of Aurora to further support our students, family, and staff members through uh services addressing opioid use disorders, you know, substance abuse. Uh for your consideration, the district has been awarded $62,000 in grant funding to expand access to with confidential referrals, counseling, and treatments uh treatment services through local uh support providers. Uh these resources will strengthen our ability to respond the needs of our community and ensure individuals impacted by substance use have timely access to the appropriate care and support that they need. Board of Education, do we have any questions for Mr. Albert? Could I have a motion to approve a one-year grant agreement with the city of Aurora in the amount of $62,000? Any questions? Secretary, please. >> Yes. >> Next. Uh, Dr. Bal talked about this a
024little bit during the HR presentation, but Dr. B, you want to give a little bit more details as far as where we're at for a staffing update for the board of education, please? >> Certainly, Mike. Um staffing meetings have been held with the high school, middle schools, um prek and elementary. Um elementary staff uh elementary schools just recently completed their staffing spreadsheets after receiving results from both parent and student or parent and staff surveys, excuse me, along with updated section and student roster counts. We are currently placing staff into positions for next year while simultaneously reviewing staff survey preferences, longevity credentials, and program needs when determining these placements. Our goal is to prioritize filling positions internally or through attrition before posting and hiring externally as needed. Uh, which is an effort that supports our current
025budgetary priorities. >> Thank you for Dr. Dr. R. I appreciate it. We've been working hard at that. As we shared during the curriculum meeting earlier, our registration numbers are real solid right now. So, we have a good way to project uh what positions we'll need in the future. Uh next, I've got Dr. Amy Angel is going to give a brief update on our uh dual language as it relates to the registration and kind of the next steps for dual language at the elementary level. Dr. Angel. >> Absolutely. Based on our recent registration data and that direct feedback from our community, uh we are continuing to refine our elementary programming so that we can honor that family choice and ensure that students receive the support that they need to continue to thrive. As well, our primary
026goal was to create that system that reflects the desires of the families. Uh and we did that by analyzing parent preferences when going through the registration process. We wanted to make sure that they had the choice to directly select student programming whether they preferred English and Spanish instruction or English only instruction. Uh based on that, we know that the district is really charged by our families with continuing to foster biliteracy through strengthening our commitment to that bilingualism and biculturalism. And we also know that we're charged with that fiscal responsibility of optimizing our staffing and sectioning counts. Uh, and we're doing that by really targeting 22 to 24 students per class. That way we have sustainable um, classroom counts, but we also have a little bit of room and flexibility when we have movements because we
027know that happens, too. And one of the other big charges that we've been putting forward is uh striving to take a closer look at that instructional minutes allocation and reduce transitions through some collaborative schedule discussions and then um hopefully redesigning and reducing some of those classroom moves so we can maximize the learning time. Uh we are going to continue to uh host three different instructional programs at strategic locations across the district. We're continuing to host uh in various locations the 50-50 dual language model with the two-teer team where half of the content is taught in English and half in Spanish. We have the 8020 dual language program uh that will be hosted in some of our buildings with one bilingual teacher teacher and in elementary school the students start with approximately 80% in Spanish instruction
028and 20% in English. In first grade, that transitions to approximately a 70% Spanish, 30% English. Second grade, approximately 6040. And then by the time we get to third grade, fourth grade, fifth grade, we're at that approximately 50/50 English Spanish flick. And then we also are uh continuing with the model that we have with general program of instruction, sheltered instruction um with an ESL endorsed teacher supporting students who are receiving instruction in English and then support for our English learners. Um and like Dr. Ballard had mentioned, they've done some amazing work uh as an HR team to really make sure that we have the information we need to appropriately staff our sections. Um, and we've been working with building principles at uh, recent meetings to give them a lot of support to take a look at
029the work that we're doing. >> Thank you, Dr. Engle. Any questions for Dr. Engel? >> Okay, next moving on, um, I'd like to highlight the fact that we are right in the season of our magnet lottery. Um, so this is an exciting time of the year. Um, I wanted to give a brief update on where we're at for Verma and Johnson Elementary School for the 2627 school year. At Furma, we received 133 applications and currently have 83 students continuing into sixth grade. For open seats, we had 60 eligible sixth graders, six eligible seventh graders for two spots and eight eligible eighth graders for five spots. Based on this interest and selection process, all grade levels at FEMA are expected to be at full capacity for the 26 207 school year. At Johnson Elementary, we are
030seeing strong interest at the third grade level with 103 qualifying students. In fourth grade, we have seven qualifying students for 10 open spots. And in fifth grade, we have six qualifying students for 12 open spots. The lottery for student selection will take place this Thursday, beginning with Furma at 4 p.m. followed by Johnson at 4:30 p.m. All communication has been sent to families, and we are looking forward to hosting the lottery and welcoming our newest students, both Johnson and Furma. Any questions for the board from the board about the lottery process? Okay, moving on. I'd like to highlight um something very exciting and we don't say very exciting in Isby compliance audit too often. So, we're going to highlight that. Um Isby did a compliance audit on 11 individual grant programs which included over $60
031million in grant funding. There were only four findings and 14 instances were found across all 11 grants. There was one question cost of $2,800 for a timing issue with SR3. This is the best compliance report that the district has had in years. When compared to the previous complian audit done in 2022, which had 33 findings with 90 instances with multiple question costs, we are very proud of the district 2 auditors, uh, Judy Freeman and Boba Flor. If they are here, could they stand up? I think I see Boba there. I I think when I was in the role of executive director of finance and grants, I had the opportunity to work with both of these ladies and they really keep us on our toes when it comes to our grants and our compliance. So, thank
032you so much for your hard work and the recognition by his being is a testament to that hard work. So, thank you both for that. Thank you. Um, next I just like to highlight our upcoming events. Tomorrow, April 21st, we have our African-American parent associated meet association meeting at 5:30 at the Resilience Education Center. This is our final meeting of the year and I'm excited that we've begun working in collaboration with parents of some of the students in our district to rebuild the board for our African-American parent association group. So, I anticipate as we kick off the 26 27 school year, having a fully functional board for African-American parent association group, which will help us to continue to build out the um needs for all of our students, our African-American students, but also allow us
033to partner with our BPAC organization, partner with our special education parent group and our EA Dads to have some of that consistency across the board. So, we're really excited about that. We also have our fine arts festival. This is our annual celebration and we're excited to host this year's fine arts festival at Eastor High School on Saturday, May 2nd, 2026 from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. We have performances from the band at 9:00 a.m. Choir at 10:15 a.m. and drama at 11:30 a.m. Visual arts will be on display throughout the atrium. And it is an open event for everyone in the community to come see the amazing work of our students throughout all grade levels. And then finally, we have our annual Special Olympics which is Sunday, May 3rd at Marming Academy. The district will
034be participating in upcoming Special Olympics Olympics regional competition on Sunday, May 3rd. This year we are proud to have our largest group yet with 70 student athletes representing nine schools and 10 programs across the district including East Aurora High School the transition program Simmons Algard Waldo Krug Bo Gates and Dietrich. So a lot of involvement across all of our schools. Opening ceremonies will begin at 9:00 a.m. with competitions running from 10:00 a.m. till approximately 2:30 p.m. We are excited to celebrate the hard work and dedication of our athletes and look forward to cheering them on at this event and board president. That concludes my report this evening. Thank you. >> Moving on to the consent agenda item number six. So motion to approve the following consent agenda as listed. So move second. Any questions? Secretary
035Calro, please. >> Yes. >> All right. Moving on to finance and personnel committee with Miss Reyes. >> Thank you, Mr. Good evening, everyone. The finance and personel meeting was held on April 7th, 2026 at the administrative center. Was called the order at 5:30 p.m. There was no public comments that night. Dr. Engel presented us um with the district's donations of the February 226 financial reports. The committee we agreed that the donations and financials finances were in order. We reviewed a proposed transfer of funds into fund 60 the capital projects fund to bring the balance back to zero in alignment with prior audit recommendations. Two resolutions will be presented shortly. The abatement of working cash and a transfer from fund 20 into fund 60. Because the transfer exceeds 10% of the fund, an amendment of the
036fiscal year 26 budget is required, followed by a 30-day public display, a public convention first. The amended budget will also align beginning balances with the fiscical year 25 audit, reflect the fund60 transfer of state, state, and federal funding to actual amounts, and revise evidence-based funding from approximately 168 million to about 163 million due to a shift from tier 1 to tier 2 funding. The committee also discussed implementation of the Benitech platform to integrate benefits, payroll, and census data. The system will automate vendor reporting and improve accuracy ahead of the November 2026 open enrollment. The estimated cost is approximately 95,000 which is significantly lower than other options considered. The proposed kitchen equipment purchases for Waldo Middle School and East Aurora High School were also reviewed. Waldo's project is estimated at 88,884 and East High's project came
037in at approximately $40,000 under the initial estimate at 210 210 300 200 to the 10 306 uh dollars. Approval is scheduled here shortly with um inflation plan for late summer. The committee also reviewed amendments to existing contracts with Sodexo and Witson's to allow participation in the fresh fruits and vegetables grant program. These amendments are required for compliance and do not result in additional costs. Contract renewals for both vendors for the 2627 school year but also reviewed reflecting a standard 3% increase while remaining below USDA reimbursement rates. These items will be presented for approval in a moment here. Uh we also discussed issuing requests for qualifications for an employee benefits broker as well as for liability property and workers comps insurance broker services. These reviews are intended to ensure competitive pricing and follow best practices. Recommendations
038are expected by May 18th. Finally, we reviewed the proposed fiscal year 26 audit engagement with CRO at a cost of 91,500, reflecting a 4% increase due to evolving GASB and compliance requirements. The audit is expected to begin in late May for early June. The meeting then adjourned at 5:52 p.m. that night.
