Pav public hearings. Okay. public hearing for the amended budget for fiscal year 2025. There really just a few minor changes but enough so that we wanted to include the revenue and expenditures related to grants to put so the educational fund revenue increased for approximately $5,400. This is due to increasing grant funding for new grants, grants that we didn't have allocations for when we started the budget back in September. And we had more investment income than anticipated. And these are actual levy distributions that we received that we didn't have for in budget or when we created the original budget. Um so the
002key changes in expenditure reductions is in the education fund the expenditures increased by approximately 5.7 million and that's for salaries for employees u purchase services technology related items and student tuition. The transportation fund expenditures also increased by approximately 513,000 and that's due to an increase in student transportation primarily for special education and McKenna Vento students this year. IMR increased like 56,000 about and that's primarily due to benefits related to salary increases that were open in the education fund and then the capital projects fund increased by approximately 75,000 due to the addition of some summer projects and that this year it question The amended budget will be presented to the board meeting.

We'll be having a deep cleaning at the main office, excuse me, at the main office taking place from July 7th to July 18th. and uh that is we haven't really done it in this building before, but each
018year every school office gets cleaned as part of the ongoing maintenance, but we need it here. So, we're going to have this facility cleaned. Also, it's time to replace these chairs. So, we're working on that. And you'll notice uh test chairs are in the hallway. We have more coming. So, we're going to be working on finding one chairs that that for all of us. And uh there's an administrator retreat that's going to take place on Tuesday, August 5th. And uh next month in July, there's an intergovernmental resolution that came up at the last PACE governing board meeting that we were at together and our attorney is reviewing it now. He has a few questions, but it should be ready for us to approve at the July board meeting. We currently have an inter intergovernmental agreement
019with a special education entity called DuPage West Book, but they've made changes to their bylaws. And it's simply having our attorney continue that review and then we'll vote on it in July. And that's the end of my report. The report, thanks for the updates. Appreciate it. Thank you. Okay, Miss Z. All righty. Well, the first thing that I have is um this Illinois has been doing a lot of work on um college and career readiness. And one of the pieces is that they um work together with the higher board of ed Illinois board of higher education, community college board, student assistants to pass a new law that went into place for college and career planning for students. And with that law, it asked um public school districts to adopt and implement a post-secary um career
020expectations framework. And part of that is career exploration and development, post-secary education, exploration, preparation, selection, financial aid, and literacy. Um the good news of that piece is we have been exposing our students to that for the last five years or so. um with regard to college and career pathways, our programming has included all of the expectations of that postsecary career expectation framework. So, we have put together the framework as required by this new law and will continue to enhance that program that we do at the middle schools. The piece that we will need to beef up is the financial aid and financial aid and literacy component. So we'll add more robustly as we move into the eighth grade compos component of that. So we are required to formally adopt the pre pace framework as part
021of that law. So the suggested motion that the board of education approve Berkeley school district pace framework as presented. I get a motion Miss and Miss Maz Park. I'm sorry. Roll call, please. Mason. Hi, Espinosa. Hi, Walker. Hi, Mora. Hi, Jackson. High Tower. Hi. Motion. And the second um area that we have um been working really hard on all year is our school improvement plans. Our schools um teams have been working and meeting all year. We've been providing updates over the course of the year and so we have continued to adjust and update our action plans um and will continue as the course of the year in response to our data. We met with um I have a piece of good news before we get to the suggested motion when we met with Dr. mesh,
022our school improvement coordinator, June 13th, I believe it was, in our final meeting for this school year. She's retiring. So, we have a new we met our new school improvement coordinator and her recommendation um from Isby to our new to um the school improvement team at ISBY is that we do not need to continue monthly meetings. our schools are um really moving forward and are they are really pleased with the progress that we have made and moving our schools to commendable um I'm sorry comprehensive to commendable and the improvement that we've seen in our data and the implementation and action of our school improvement plans so that we will only meet with our school improvement coordinator three times next year unless we need them we can reach out to them. So, I was really pleased
023with our meetings that we've been having and the success that that ISV has recorded and they feel like we're in a really good place as a system and the work that our teams have been doing. So, I was really pleased about that. So, we do have our plans for the 2526 school year and the suggested motion is that the board of education approve the school improvement plans for the 2526 school year as presented. We have a motion.

Um, we also received a notice, a notification that our title 2 grant, which is the grant that we utilize primarily to fund professional development, recruitment, retention of staff, at this time that funding has not been released from the Department of Education. So, we um are making adjustments, moving things um into title one, but I wanted to notify you that at this time we haven't received that funding. And so we'll proceed with our plans and kind of making some adjustments. And they indicated that if that funding is released, they will add it to our current aotment
026and then we can make an amendment. But they didn't sound like that. They would anticipate that prior to submission of the grant. I wanted to make the board aware of that.

032down and meet and offer them the position I will tell you we has some declinations and I usually ask them and share that you know you're interested and I'm interested in knowing why are they declining the position and um some of them have been due to the salary you know that we offer others have been some wanted to work a little bit closer to home so for various reasons but I have been collecting data and at the end of the hiring season we'll go over and take a look how many were salary, how many were in the locations or you know different things like that so we can take a look. So I've been just printing them out and then I'll create a spreadsheet to share next week. No, at the end of the hiring
033season. Yeah. Would you like would you like to know Alex is on going thus far? Yeah. from SE. Sure. Okay. I thought we addressed the arm piece and last negotiation be some we shortly see what we have. Yeah. You know, we wanted a little bit something different. We weren't able to get it. So that's sadness a little bit compared to you know what others did. But we will get there. We will get there. Yes, you're doing a good job. Thank you. Thank you. Our principles are are doing a fantastic job as well. Dr. Thank you be the head shout out. Thank you. Yes, he's been working really really hard. All of them have for Dr. Mooney. Uh he had a nice amount of positions that he needed to fill and I know he said I
034will get these filled and he is really really really working. I want to thank Hill for their hard work but all of our principles are like often time and then when I go to him well Dr. voting against this definition. That's okay. We'll get it built. So encourage. Yes. Do you have any other questions about any questions? Season appreciate the feedback. Oh, I will tell you up until this point was pretty good to me. It was one of the better like out of the gate and we started really early. Now it's seeming to settle a little a little bit. Um but this is June. Um I'm gonna be hopeful maybe July uh it'll pick up. But also we partner with Dominican. They have a lot of students uh with us for summer school that's doing
035internships with our summer school teacher. So some of the interns have reached out to me. Um actually Dr. Modi interviewed one and then um they also had some special education candidates. So when I talk to them about that, they're just getting started in the program and then they'll have them take the test. Some of them have taken it in June and they'll take the test at the end of July. Once they take the test, then that's when they'll get their special education certification. So I just, you know, talked to our partners at Dominican and told them do not forget about Berkeley special education teacher. So just working with them, keeping my eyes and ears out for any, you know, one. And then when we have candidates who you have friends who's looking for jobs, make
036sure you tell them. So that's always important to let our candidates who we hire and let them know that if we have if they have friends, they know they are our vacancies. So I share that with the candidates too. So that's helpful. Thank you. Any questions? Thank you. Uh few items this year the main office staff has taken the lead on summer enrollment. So what we've done in the past is once the schools leave for the summer families would have to wait until August when schools return to do registration we had this year. So family moves in and does online enrollment then they come to the main office and we work with them to get enrolled in the school year. So that's an attempt to provide a little bit better customer service to our families
037and hopefully offset some of that pressure when the schools back to school so they don't have to kind of do backlog things. So that's going really well and shout out to the staff members here who are taking the lead on that just about every department. So thank you to them doing some work with upgrading different infrastructure specifically servers that host different things um like HVAC controls and servers and things like that. We try to do a lot of that summer. Um, so there's minimal impact to the users who use those things. Chromebook preparation is well underway. So we got over 600 Chromebooks. Unboxing, configuring them appropriately, and then we go as far to put student name tags on them, put them in their cases, put name tags on them, organize them in bins. So when
038the teachers come back, those are ready to go for them. So that is well underway. working here in Jefferson to install some more door fobs on specific classrooms to kind of help with uh appropriate access in and out of buildings and so there's no doors props um at certain times and then um this is going to talk about summer school which is going really well. We're introducing a new communication tool called parent square for summer school. It's a product that we purchased in agreement with but we're using it more at the district level. This is the first time we're using it with teachers to communicate with families. Um, so at their own pace, teachers are using this tool and there's been a lot of great feedback. So, we hope to continue to work with summer
039school teachers over the next week and a half to get familiar with this tool. We're planning for allows in August. So, we're really excited about this tool to help streamline communication between school and home um to eliminate the multiple forms of communication and consolidate it into this one school parent. So, we're really excited about that. There's a lot of great features and we're planning on learning a lot during summer school lead. Good job. Any questions, Mr. Miss, how we doing? Welcome. We're doing great. Um, it's, you know, the working time, so we're reviewing the data from the access and I have some information to report back to you regarding our preliminary access scores. We tested 748 scholars. 42 scholars replacified or achieved the score so that they no longer um are considered multilingual learners. That
040score is 4.8 in their overall capacity. Telling you the score because the next big piece of information is we have 157 scholars that are between 4.0 0 and 4.7 on an overall. So, we're really getting um our scholars are close to being and out of all of those scholars, we have 459 scholars overall who grew um in their English language proficiency and um it's very exciting. We have um the data of course does not include anyone who's new to new a newcomer who's only taken test one year um or our kindergarteners because they haven't taken the test for more than a year so that we can't see their growth. So I'm very I'm very proud of our schools. I'm very proud of how hard all of our teachers are working. I met with some of
041our multilingual specialists already and we did a deep dive into the scores to start planning for next year and how we can really um dig in and make some strategies differentiation and just really um give our students the support that they need. Um, we also have a professional development session coming up for new teacher orientation geared specifically to newcomers, but overall it's going to be good information for all of our multilingual learners. And that is going to be presented by Karen Johnson for me. We're going to be learning about second language acquisition. And so I'm excited for that. We have our professional development plan for our bilingual teachers. Um, we have two different types of professional development that we'll be offering to them. One is from American Reading Company so that they can really dig
042into how they're going to teach in Spanish and English using the American company. And then our other um professional development opportunity is going to be with the Illinois Resource Center um also known as the center and we have an opportunity for four professional developments through the year to help uh build our uh teachers efficacy as it pertains to dual language teaching in both languages. So that's just some of the exciting things that we're those are exciting things. Thank you. Any questions? Dr. U want to say we had two amazing graduation ceremonies. Thank you for helping support um commendable to provide the west really done a good job of helping us put those graduations together and then lost so many more families to attend the smaller events we've had at North.
