Hello, I'm Merl Herren, 723 Bank Street, Aurora. Um, proud EA grad, class of 83. So, I've got you beat by four years. Um, I also happen to be a district employee as a district maintenance mechanic for almost 13 years. And I know and Dr. Halverson and I have not had a chance to meet. Um so he is not aware of this but I'm setting the standard because we're going in negotiations and this quite this bothers me. So um I wish to address the climate in buildings and grounds. This book five dysfunctions of a team used to be a tool used by
009district leadership. It's an excellent book. It uh perhaps it still is but the summation is a five- tier pyramid of the dynamics found in team trust conflict commitment accountability and results. goes into detail to describe the high performance team compared to the dysfunctional team. I present to the board and the and the superintendent that our B&G salaried staff has chosen the way of the dysfunctional team. The phrases reasonable and customary past practice are both recognized within labor law. I'm also a union steward. I think all of you know that for building your own salary staff to be creating and enforcing contract language changes on the eve of us no opening negotiations cast an ominous cloud over this whole process. Somebody has to be encouraging AJ Nick and the supervisors to treat us as a lowerass
010human being who don't deserve a voice in this team. I am asking for this to change. It's almost as it's a game of let's see how much we can get away with before the new superintendent actually um learns what's going on. I'm disappointed in this and I would like to see a change. And I realize though also Miss Johnson, I realize almost six years ago when I spoke out of the board meeting, you did tell me that it won't go well for me the next time I speak out at the board meeting. You have kept that promise. It has been bad. I wish it would change and I don't agree with that policy and I wish you would resend that. And if you would like to speak, Miss Johnson, you can contact Don Hos. I'd
011love to speak with you offline. Thank you. All right. Next public speaker, Hovita Caleron. Good evening. Um, the new and current board members. My name is Havita Marcela Calderon. I am a mother of two children in the school district and I also attended and graduated from East Abora 19 1980 199 and um on behalf of the Pedres Lres activos we welcome you all uh to the school district 131 board of the directors.

First, we have Kevin up with our student board member report. Thank you, Kevin. Kevin, thanks for your flexibility, too, coming back this time. Appreciate it. All right. Hello, board members and guests. I once again am thankful to stand up at this podium and advocate for Easter High School. Recently, there have been some great things happening throughout East School District 131. And across the board, we're seeing steady improvement from stronger student engagement to more support systems being built around both academics and extracurriculars. Students are stepping into leadership roles, showing pride in their school and uplifting one another. As we approach the end of the year, the class of 2025 continues to
015rise to the occasion. From classroom achievements to community involvement, it's clear that this group has left a lasting mark on East Aurora. The energy and determination they've brought all year has made this a truly memorable senior class. To continue the Tomcat shout out, this month's Tomcat shout out goes to Audrey Naster. Audrey has been dancing since she was four years old and is a standout both in and out of the classroom. She's an active member of the National Honor Society and the Science National Honor Society, and she solidified her place in the top 10% of her class. Audrey's dedication, consistency, and leadership makes her an incredible representation of what Easter is all about. Looking ahead, we're excited for major year-end celebrations, including past celebrations like the honors and scholarship night. These moments are more than
016awards. They reflect the resilience and excellence that define our students. Also, soon you'll get the chance to meet many of the students who have been recognized throughout this year and these monthly shout outs. It will be a great moment to celebrate their achievements and show them how much this district believes in their potential. As the school year winds down, let's continue to support one another and end the year with pride and positivity. Thank you for the opportunity once again to advocate for the Easter voice. I carry Easter High School with me wherever I go. Thank you. Thank you very much, Kevin. Next, we have our uh community relations report with Miss Yowski. And Karina's gonna come up with me and so are Kevin. You guys can come up. Karina's gonna come up and be here.
017Our two very special student board members. Oh my goodness. Let's give them one more big round of applause for all their service this year. So, good evening to all of you. Um, tonight is a very special, very special night since we're are going to recognize some of our very talented and outstanding Easter High School seniors for their academic achievements as they are about to graduate. When we started the student shoutouts for the student board member reports this year, Karina and Kevin were 100% on board. They chose the students to be featured and this was their opportunity to do something special for their peers. Because of that, we thought, why not bring them in for this special meeting so that the board and the community could meet the students in person and we could recognize them.
018A couple of students that we will be recognizing were not part of the student shoutouts, but would have been if we had more presentations, right, if the school year was longer. Um, Karina and Kevin will help me hand out their certificates and we have a special gift for them from the DECA store. We're going to start in alphabetical order and when you come up, um, when we call you, you'll get, you know, your awards from both of them and then we'd like you to stay up and we'll take a picture, okay?

I'm excited to share some important updates regarding our district initiatives and upcoming events. First, I'd like to highlight our resilience center summer catalog which features a total of 22 engaging classes. These classes are designed for students ranging from preK through high school. We kick off our summer program with the first class starting on June 14th, 2025 and concluding with our final class on July 26, 2025. The catalog includes a diverse range of subjects such as culinary arts, creative arts, and dance. We believe these classes will provide enriching summer experiences for our students and we will be advertising these opportunities soon. They'll be coming out tomorrow. So, please look for
027those. We've got wonderful opportunities for our kids all summer long at the resilience center. Next, I want to speak about the extension campus resilience projects which I had an opportunity to go over and watch on Friday. Uh we have some tremendous work from our students who have been sharing their lived experiences and demonstrating their resiliency through poetry. The initiative not only showcased their talents and their creativity but al also emphasize the powerful stories of strength from within our student community. Um just an amazing job to the extension campus there and the counselors at the extension campus and working with our students. It was really moving on Friday when we were over there. As we look ahead, I want to remind everyone that our high school graduation ceremony will take place on Sunday, June 1st at
028Northern Illinois University at 1 p.m. This is a significant milestone for our graduating seniors, and I'm encouraging and I encourage everyone to come and celebrate their achievements. Additionally, we have a transition pro uh promotion program scheduled for Thursday, May 29th at 6 p.m. at East High in the Little Theater. This event is a wonderful opportunity to recognize the hard work of our students as they prepare for their next steps in life. Lastly, our middle school promotions are approaching. They will occur on Wednesday, May 28th and Thursday, May 29th. We look forward to celebrating the accomplishments of our middle school students as they move forward in their educational journeys. One last item on our June 3rd board meeting, we will be bringing the proposed board calendar for board meetings and committee meetings to the board for
029FY26. We will still continue with the first and third uh first and third Monday of every month mainly. There is one item if we could have the uh board look at their calendars. I would propose that at that meeting we move our July 21st meeting to July 28th. So that would be the one change from the future. So board members, if you could take a look at your calendars uh before that meeting. Thank you so much for all your continued support and dedication to our students and community.

036have skipped one. Uh we are excited to reintroduce to the board uh Miss Nikita Stewart as our uh director of middle and secondary college and career programs. Congratulations. All right, that's it this time, right? All right, on to the finance and personnel committee with Miss Johnson. Well, I guess our next meeting is going to be on second, but before everything got discombobulated with the board, I was going to um actually, and I want the board to consider this. So, I do not want to serve as the chair of that committee. I want the board to consider that that they disband that committee because all of the board members are new and it is very important that our board members understand the finances of the district. I think that when we go and say hire somebody
037um you know that is pretty much something that would better fit into the curriculum department. But in terms of the finance committee um I think it's very important that um the discussions we have that committee has been watered down through the years and the discussions that we have is regarding tax levies and the district budget because all the board members are new sometimes that gets lost. So it is important because while everybody you know talks about the district as a whole, the most important thing in this district is still to consider where our finances are going because times are very uncertain. So um so again I would like that committee to be disbanded and just have the two committees. Um, so I would not be serving as the chair of that because I just that
038commi committee lately like I said, you know, there is not many things that go on in that committee that the whole board definitely needs to be involved when I so I'd like to see the board involved in that. Also, I am going to go on public record because I don't want my comments to be misconstrued. So, um, so I want the public and the board to understand this. I am um I was I was going to say this earlier but today is the day to say it. So in terms of our career center, I will not be supporting moving forward on the career center and I have many reasons for that. Uh when we started the career center a couple years back, there was a a different administration as far as the federal government went.
039So times are uncertain as far as our our federal uh federal money coming with title. We don't know where that will be. The project was to uh $12.5 million over budget and that was uh that was very hard pill to swallow because certainly the district could not afford that. So then once it became $12.5 million over budget, we went ahead and we scaled the building back. That was always supposed to be an 80,000 square foot facility. it seems like it's been watered down and um and that's not good for for our district. I also um we've also never really fully understood what the cost of remodeling East Aurora is and we still have heating and air conditioning to go at East Aurora High School. So, that's that's something that still needs to be addressed. Um,
040and I'm going to say, uh, we do live in very uncertain times for school financing and, um, the recent article of the Beacon News, I do applaud them for that, has brought some some definite issues to light in terms of, um, our pay of our teachers and our staffing issues. And all of those items need to be addressed before we jump into into this and not end up with uh, what we really want. So, thank you for allowing me to make my comments. Well, thank you. We'll move on to the curriculum and programs committee with Mr. Olivas. Thank you. Uh we had our curriculum committee this evening at 6 uh p.m. Um that information will be shared at our next meeting on June 2nd. And also, if you would like, please update your uh schedule
041for our next curriculum meeting will be on June 16 at 6 PM. All right. Thank you. Jud is not here today. He's absent. So, the next building and grounds committee will be on Monday, June 2nd at 6 p.m. here at the administrative center. And we'll move on to the last item, the executive session. Um, we'll move for a motion to executive session for the purpose of discussing property acquisition, pending litigation, student discipline, and the appointment, employment, performance, compensation, and dismissal of a specific employee. So, move second. Secretary, call the role, please. Yes. Valencia, yes. Olivas, yes. Moreno, yes. Johnson, yes. is yes there will not be action um after the executive session. Thank you. All right, we're going to motion to reconvene. from executive session. So move second. Secretary call the role. Yes. Yes. Johnson.
042Yes. Sequentes. Yes. Olivas. Yes. Moreno. Yeah. Okay. Motion to adjourn the meeting. So move. Secretary. Call the role. Johnson. Yes. Moreno. Yes. Yes. Reyes? Yes. Sequentes? Yes. Valencia? Yes. All right. One more.
