002of the whole meeting of March 9th, 2026. Can I get a motion? >> Moved. >> Second. >> Any discussion? >> All in favor? >> I. >> Uh, public comment participation. Okay, there we go. So, next up, we've got a school spotlight, Jefferson Early Childhood Center. So, take it away. Okay. We just wanted to take a um a moment at the time because we have worked cooperatively with the junior achievement group and we were able to pilot a new program that Junior Achievement has developed. Um it was first done in St. Louis and they had brought their curriculum to preschool but just in the moling way we had to take it a step further. Not only did we want to pilot their curriculum, we wanted to go to their facility and have preschoolers be a part

003of Junior Achievement Bistown. And so that's what we want to highlight this evening not only the partnership but the learning that went on. I brought with me tonight Cara Banfield. She is one of our teachers. Um she has a multilingual class uh and she's been with the district for several years. And then you may recognize Gwen Scansky who was here um as one of our parents that had worked up the ranks as a parah and now as a teacher as well. She is with our co-taught classroom and she helps with the special education side. So they're going to be sharing their insights as well as we talk about what our experience was. So that just gives you a little overview. See this way. >> Okay. Thank you. So um what where it all started was

004within our junior achievement curriculum there were six uh units that the teachers taught. We did bring the families along all the way through in that we sent work home that they were working on within that unit. The first unit of course was family. A second unit was about the neighborhood. And then the um we had a community helper unit where we had volunteers from Junior Achievement come in to Jefferson and provide those that curriculum to the students. And then we ended with a pet unit which was also fun. Um Cara, do you want to talk a little bit about how that curriculum aligned with what we do at Jefferson? >> Sure. Um so the um activities that we did within the classroom that were JA uh activities they lend themselves well to uh what we

005do in our curriculum. For example um Mrs. Fowler mentioned the pet unit. I have done the pet study a number of times and it's just uh a wonderful way to to bridge uh what the community um provides you know with animal shelters and and um the uh kit was it the kit >> uh corporation >> corporation that was at JA Biztown >> and uh with our pet study um we have explored the pet shelters and and different um community um helpers in that way. Uh so it was a nice uh little bridge between us and uh J. Uh the other uh one that I think was a favorite was the uh unit on um community members, a community helpers. Uh the children are just they love um you know pretending to be a firefighter or

006a policeman or teacher or doctor, you know, those kinds of uh community helpers. and Jab Biztown um had a wonderful curriculum that it went through all the uh duties of all those community helpers and how they could um you know be there for the children and uh it it was a really good experience for the kids to to learn about those community helpers through JA. Uh and then um I think the other highlight was the uh family unit, the the first unit that we uh studied and just you know talking about you know who are family members and including the pets and the you know the goldfish all the the whole group there and it gave the children um a lovely uh platform to share about their families and the importance of family and uh

007school being partners in the children's education and JA um I think does an exceptional job with that particular aspect of what they're doing at this time. And so we started with that partnership and this is just Lisa O'Brien who wasn't able to be here this this evening was very intricral in starting the the partnership and as Cara's already talked about we could see a link to our our creative curriculum and just the studies and extending that also giving the families an opportunity to see what we're learning at school. Um before we went to the junior achievement, the kids did some work. Um in that they had to make Jefferson dollars and they also had to make our charity dollars. So they learned about um cutting and they learned about counting. Uh they made envelopes that

008were each child got five Jefferson bucks and three charity dollars. So they had to stuff those envelopes. They got names written on them and they were all setting that all up for the bank. So we were doing some of that preparatory work to give them a sense of what was to come. And so when we actually got there, they were to select five hour five areas. That's why they had $5. It ended up they got to go to everyone because they went faster than what we planned. It's okay. They got some freebies or got to go back to the others and they had to make sure they went to city hall where they met our mayor, Dr. privilege and part of it Cara alluded to was part of it was introducing yourself. Um, when we

009think about young children, they're not as apt for speaking and conversational terms and so they had to go the goal was to walk up to Mr. P Dr. Pribble and say, "Hi, my name is blah blah blah and how are you today?" and then have a conversation with him. I don't know. I think they were successful with that. >> Yeah. Yeah. It was great. Yeah. And as you can see, high-fiving, getting them to to just interact a little bit. It was it was fun. And it was neat to see how they they you know, how they broke their ice with me a little bit. Broke the ice with me cuz they had prepped them for that. So, it it was really a great experience. >> And they they they did it. They enjoyed that. Then

010also, while they were at city hall, they had to vote. We had um four charities. We started with four four charities that they were going to choose from. One was um New Kingdom Trail Riders, Gigi's Playhouse, the Riverbend uh food pantry, and then the local animal shelter. And we voted in a way that was friendly to children. Um New Kingdom had a horse, the food pantry, of course, had a food, and then GG's had a playground area, and um the animal shelter had pets. So, they picked what one they wanted to vote, and we narrowed it down to two. it and that we were voting between Riverbend Food Pantry and the local animal shelter and it ended up that our vote came in three more for the food pantry. So that's where our um spare

011change charity will be going and then prior to leaving they had to again fill out a survey what was their favorite area and um we also looked at how much money was spent at each area to see what the kids want like the best. So these are our results. I t told you a little bit about the voting already. Um we had 52 families register for the event. We've offered it two different time slots. Um we had a majority of the Jefferson staff attended and then we also had um four businesses uh that families could talk to that were partners with JA. So they got some financial information, they got some um financial and then also about Blackhawk College was there, how they could extend their own learning. So the parents were also getting some

012education. We ended up with 39 families there and approximately 117 total total families came. I've talked to you already about the voting results. Um the stations, this was one of our stations that was in the top three. They got to be bus drivers and pick up uh passengers and drop them off at home as our kids say and then take them to the other places that they wanted to go. Uh the children really enjoyed this one because not all of them get to ride the bus and they were like this is exciting. I can drive the bus. And then um then our survey results, the John Deere construction was the favorite uh because they got construction as well as farm animals were there. And then the second one was the Kent. >> Yeah. >> Worldwide

013Kent where you got to adopt a pet, a potential pet, and um figure out what you needed for that. And then finally, Jersey Mike's where they got popcorn and water. So that's what we like the best. But even though we had our event, the fun continues at Jefferson and Gwen's going to talk about how she's extending it there. >> So thank you, Mrs. Feller. Um so our students in our classroom right now has a veterinarian clinic as um Mrs. Banfield BB has already extended on the importance of being mindful of pets and animals. Um it's really been great to see how our students will take on a role as the vet and then being a patient bringing the animal in. So that really opened up a lot of communication skills for the students to say,

014"Oh, my pet snake got hurt. It needs help." And then the uh student would be like, "Okay, well, here's, you know, mark where it's hurt." And then they'll sit use all the equipment that a veterinarian uses. And then it's like two, three minutes later, they're like, "Okay, well your your snake's scales have come off and we've bandaged it and here's the ointment for it." you know, so having JA come into our classroom to really show us that there's more into the world and into our community at Molen is quite for me emotional because with my students who have some development delays or some communication problems to see them showing compassion and care for the animals and even opening up to other peers who they've never really wanted to talk to before, say, "My pet's hurt."

015And if they can't verbalize it, we have our core communication board saying, "I need help." And so they'll point to, "I need help." And give the pet to that student that's pretending to be the vet. So, it's just been a really good experience all around in our school and our classroom. So, yes. And then finally, we wanted to make sure you knew what the kids had to say. So our friend says Lolly, she is the one that said, "I get to be the bus driver. I get to drive around town. I'm dropping the people off. They stay at their spots." And Charlie, her friend, who's not in the photo, said, "Yes, and I get to do that, too, Mrs. Fowler." And I make sure that I drop them off on the side of the road

016so the bus doesn't hit them. So they're very, very conscious of that. Um, and this is Journey. And she loved the farm. She loved the idea of having farm animals. She loved the idea. She has got her fence all plotted out. She just really was like, I really think farming is a great thing. And then we have Timmy who is looking at a cat and he's like, I'm getting a cat. And he's got his birth certificate and I don't know that his parents appreciated that, but he's looking at all the cat stuff. And then finally, our last friend, Abraham. He had a really hard time with our voting. And so he stood there. It was a good 10 minutes. And his mom was like, "You gotta pick one. You got to pick one." And I

017could tell she was getting a little frustrated. And so I said, "You know what, Abraham? Let's think of it this way. Did you like this one?" He said, "Yes. Did you like?" And so he liked Kent. He liked um Jersey Mike's. He liked everything but Metroink. And I said, "Okay, can you pick one out of all of those others?" He said, "No, I can't do it." I said, "It's okay. Just put your go see Mrs. Zuts and put it in the box. We're okay with that." But it was interesting for him that he struggled that much to figure out which he liked best. And it also was nice for his mom to see how we can temper that to flip it a different mindset. So, it was just a great event. And so finally, these

018are all the folks that helped us. There's a mix of community members, staff members, um, and and JA folks as well. And all of them were in just volunteer to help us inspire our youngest learners in the district. So, it was a great event. We do plan to continue for next year. We've already just um talked about some different ways that we're going to even mesh it more and keep our curriculum. It was our first try, but we're just very excited and it was just a very positive experience. So, thank you for your time. >> Thank you. >> And just a quick question. So, I know this is the first time you said they've done it in St. Louis before. How because you actually went to the site and did this. How much pre-planning did

019this take? And on JA's part in terms of their opening of like, okay, we know we need to kind of modify and do some things a little bit differently for these learners. So Audrey, that's a great question because so um when we talked about it originally, we were talking about the communication that was our big big goal. Um we had a lot of planning time and so basically what happened is um Chrissa UTS Lisa O'Brien and myself we went down to JA and we just went okay we can make Kent work because we'll bring in this this and this. we can make like the bus the transportation work because we're going to bring in we made the maps. We brought the little buses and Metroink was awesome. They each got this little foam bus. They're

020the coolest little things. I mean they they were just very cool that they gave them gave to them. Um we looked at Blackhawk. They could take their picture there. So what we did is just went in each one of the inter in each one of their centers, their businesses and figured out how we can make it preschool friendly. The one we did not was a modern woodman I believe down there. It's a banking and annuities and all that. We got to get her head wrapped around how we could get that to preschool. But um that was more where we had the families talking to folks so they could think about saving and and planting the seeds that as a young children they could they can go to college, they can go to trade school, we

021can do all kinds of things. So that's what we did. Yep. >> Anybody else have questions? >> Jay is fantastic. I've been I think 25 year volunteer and I've taught our community a lot of times in kindergarten. So, I love to see it being kind of repurposed for preschool. So, that's incredible. >> Thank you very much. >> And I'm glad you brought that up. At our start them out, right night in the fall, JA was there and a lot of our parents said, "I remember when I went to Bistown, you know, and they were so excited that they were going to get to do that with their children." And this is just an awesome facility. We need to we need to showcase it. >> Yeah. I just say I I can commend you all for

022this is just yet another great example and spotlight of uh district staff going above and beyond. um especially as it pertains to JA, the the the ability for them to, you know, begin to mold those executive functioning skills is so important, especially at such an early age when and especially with some of the more at risk uh kids in in our district and uh it's really really cool inspirational stuff tonight. Thank you. >> Thank you. Thank you guys very much. Thanks for your attention. >> Thank you. >> Okay, motion to adjourn. So moved. >> Second. All >> in favor along. Some people think we'll take a break. So >> I now call to order the regular meeting of the board of education, school district number 40, immediately following the committee of the whole meeting on

023Monday, April 13th, 2026. The Molen Education Center, 190052nd Avenue, Molen, Illinois. Um, open meeting.

025to speak in opposition to the proposed 2025 2026 amended school district budget? Is there anyone who wishes to speak neither for nor against the proposed 2025 2026 amended school district budget but wishes to offer additional information? So, uh, this is something that school code requires us to do now before we approve any amended budget or budget, um, is to just give a fund balance report. This really hadn't changed from the presentation that I I gave you earlier. Um, you can see in here for capital projects, uh, 56, million, 150, 50 million of that is the bonds that were sold. Um, and then we have within the revenues and the expenditures between the education fund and the operation and maintenance fund is the $2.9 million uh transfer from the education fund over to the O andM

026fund to pay for the high school uh cafeteria remodel. Um, so those are the main points within here. Otherwise, everything that I presented at our last meeting is pretty much the same. So, any questions on that? Thank you. Um, all testimony having been taken, hearing of the proposed 2025 2026 men school district budget is now closed. Okay. Um, moving on to the consent agenda.

Reporters request an open discussion of Dr. Savage. >> Okay. Good evening everybody. Can you hear me? Okay. >> Yes. Yep. >> Yes. >> All right. Um I just want to give a little quick update. Um and just give a huge shout out to everyone at Lincoln Irving down at Western Illinois University. We had a great first week uh considering all of the changes. Um just a huge thank you to the teachers, the staff, administration, maintenance, edtech, um facility departments, Metroink, and most importantly, Western Illinois, and of course, Audrey Adamson for making our students feel so welcome. Um it's certainly going to take some time to establish the new structures and

030routines, get all of the bus routes worked out, especially um dismissal and drop off, but that is what this time is for. And um they're off to a great start. We are incredibly proud of their resil resiliency and positive attitude and the kids are absolutely loving the view and loving the beautiful um just watching the river and the boats and the eagles and it's just been a wonderful transition so far. Um I know it'll be a busy couple of months, but I'm glad that they have this time to um make these adjustments. The Molen Public School Foundation spring celebration is coming up um soon. Um it is May 7th and the foundation is a wonderful partner of ours. They donate thousands and thousands to our teachers every single year kind of really taking care of

031those above and beyond special projects beyond normal school supplies that the district provides to every classroom. And so we really want to honor and celebrate this event. It is their primary fundraiser each year. They do a great job promoting their event, but we really like to get the word out, especially to parents and to our community. Our teachers do a great job attending, our wonderful board of education, our administration, but we really like to get the word out to parents and community. And just thank everybody for supporting our wonderful foundation and the work that they do supporting our teachers because then we know that that means that our kids are receiving that extra extra support as well. Um, as our student board of education member, Miss Abigail Greenley, I know she's in the room there,

032um, is set to graduate next month. We have begun the process for formally um, refilling that seat. The application and position description information was sent out to all sophomores at Molen High School uh, towards the tail end of spring break, excuse me, and the window will remain open until April 19th. The position will be a two-year term beginning in August, so the student can serve for their junior and senior year. Uh, Verun will be a senior next year, so that will get us in a really good process and a really good routine for filling these seats moving forward. Um once the application window closes and I know that there's a couple of applications in there so far uh we will see how many students that we have applied once it closes and then engage with

033a small committee uh to review those applications. We'll engage with a couple of board members and of course student board members board secretary um and a few others and schedule interviews as necessary. Um the candidate uh I would imagine would be sworn in in May and begin their term in August after completing some training with the district. And then lastly, I just want to highlight our uh retirees. It's hard to believe that our retirement reception is coming up soon as well, just the week after the foundation event. May is just filled with all of these wonderful special celebrations. We have 29 retirees this year representing all different um departments in our district and all different kinds of employees. Um our retirement openhouse reception is scheduled for May 13th um at the University Club in downtown

034Molen and it is from 4:30 to 6:30. So we are just really starting to ramp up our celebrations for the end of the year and um it's one of the best times of year. So, just looking forward to having everybody get those special dates on their calendars. And that is all I have. >> Thank you, Dr. Savage. Uh, student board member report. >> Yeah. So, all of our spring sports are well underway. If you're looking for something to go watch, there's boys tennis, baseball, softball, um, boys and girls track and field, and girls soccer going on right now. And then, this has been a few weeks in the past, but we haven't met in a while. Uh, the Adams family play was fantastic. The MHS theater department did a great job. And then there also

035was the week prior to spring break um a combined choir concert with all of the high school choir students and then choir students across the district from fifth through 8th grade. So, it was very impressive that Mr. Holmes and um the other choir teachers were able to coordinate that many students and there was a lot of families in attendance. So, congrats to them. And then upcoming we have um next next week, two weeks from now, there is um a MHS music boosters trivia night if you're interested in doing that. And then we have um one act plays directed by our seniors coming up in May. >> Okay. Thank you. Um board education member open discussion. Does anybody have anything? >> I would just like to follow up on Dr. Savage talking about Lincoln Irving down

036at Western. It has been a joy to have down there and I would say it has gone as smoothly as it probably have any right to in terms of of of having that big of a transition in the middle of the year. But I would like to also do a shout out to, you know, uh, Principal Col and um, assistant principal Hillyard and then also, um, Vince Gallow and Keith Carson's. Um, just the amount of the rest administration, the amount of work that I've got to witness firsthand going into this transition has been phenomenal to see everybody come together to make this be something that's really positive for the kids. I mean, that's a big change for kids to have that happen in the middle of their school year. Um, and so just the care

037that went into the planning has been wonderful to watch. So, um, uh, as you'd mentioned, the trivia night, so anybody would like to come try to beat, uh, my team at trivia. April 24th is the trivia night, but I've helped put together a whole bunch of baskets yesterday. So, there are some really great prizes for that, but hopefully I'll see most of my fellow board members at the Mullen Public School Foundation event. That's always a great one. Um, and I just want to say we're going into what I refer to as the good madness season of the year, right? Where there's all the banquetss, all the concerts, all of the sports, all of the things happening. So, I just um wish you as a senior uh the yeah, all the best as you head into

038this final stretch. So, >> and I'd also like to echo Dr. Savage and Audrey's comments about the uh Lincoln Irving transition down to Western Illinois. Um everything I've heard and seen, it's been, you know, almost as seamless as it can get. And I think that that can be said for, you know, the early stages of this project getting to where we are right now. Um, it's a really heavy lift to be able to have all these things come together and have the foresight to make sure they do. So, to everybody involved, thank you. It's been impressive to see. It's something that, you know, a lot of things could have gone in other directions and it could have been a lot harder to pull this off. So, great job to everybody and we'll keep on keeping

039it going. >> This Wednesday is the next community dinner at Washington. Uh the last one was phenomenal turnout for the 5 pm. So I'm looking forward to getting with that crew and getting in the kitchen again this week. Hopefully you guys can join us. >> I'd just like to um give a shout out to Miss Beam and Miss Peterson over at um Franklin. They invited us and I I think they invited us some other teachers at Franklin invited us for another opportunity. But to engage with the students in this real world real world world real world real world real world real world real world community challenge issue. Um it was very enlightening and the students took their work very seriously. Um one of the things that the students brought to our attention as board members

040was the fact that they believe that we should really look into investing money into making playgrounds more accessible. So, I promised them that I would bring that information back to my colleagues because that's something that they're very interested in and the compassion that they've shown for their um colleagues, their their teammates, their school, you know, school classmates um are were just astounding. And I didn't even realize that it was a young lady in that class who needed that accessibility that was talking about the issue at hand as well, but her peers were the ones bring it up. So, it was very genuine. It was very thoughtprovoking how um they just were so passionate and caring and they wanted to bring that to our attention. So there you have it from the kids at Franklin Elementary.

041>> And I'd just like to take a real quick moment to uh invite and encourage my fellow colleagues of the board of education to John Deere Middle School's production of Annie Jr. this week. Uh they have performances on Thursday and Friday. The cast, the crew, especially Mrs. Sheish and Mr. Riser have been working so hard to produce what's going to be a a pretty fun and entertaining uh couple of evenings at that old beautiful auditorium they have there at John Middle School. So, um get out and support the culture and arts. It is important. Thank you. >> Anybody else? Um, now I will ask for a motion to go into close session to consider litigation when an action against, affecting or on behalf of the particular public body has been filed and is pending before

042a court or administrative tribunal or when the public body finds that an action is probable or imminent in which case the basis for shall be recorded and entered into the minutes of the closed meeting and to consider the appointment, appointment, compensation, discipline, performance or dismissal of specific employees. >> So moved.
