Um there is a public hearing this evening for and we do this every year uh for the tax levy as part of the legal process for
004for approving our tax levy. So it's it's much like um citizen statements. So I'm going to open the floor for the public to come and talk to us about the tax levy that was proposed a couple meetings ago. So I'm going to open the the floor. Does anybody here present wishes to address the board? We're currenting the tax levy going once. going twice. Hearing is closed. Uh it is now time for a student ambassador's report. This is our ambassador report. Um something popped up for Kandre, so he won't be here tonight, but um some things that have been happening at UHS. The jazz band faculty invite will be on the um it was on the 12th and the jazz combo gig on Windsor of Seavoy was the 8th. Um the jazz combo gig at the
005main scoop was on the 19th or will be on the 19th. The boys wrestling invite was on the 6th. Um the girls I believe another wrestling invite was on the 6th as well. Um the boys unity invite will be on the 20th and the girls Morris invite will be on the 20th as well. So it's currently finals. So our finals start tomorrow. They go through Friday. Um this marks the end of the first semester. So we'll be on winter break after this. Um a couple weeks ago we had the winter assembly at UHS. So the band, choir, and orchestra all performed. Um, a lot of them did like Christmas songs and it was really cool to see all the talent and all the work that's been put in. There was a choir concert as well.
006So, the UHS singers and the MP4 Quartet, the treble choir, the VCR ac capella and concert choir, they all performed together. um tribal choir performed sleigh ride and they had an elaborate choreography um that included all the groups and then the orchestra and concert choir performed two songs together. They were also Christmas songs and then the alumni joined at the end for a song. There was the first ever um girls only home meet at Urbana which um Urbana won all three of their duels um which were against Central Pontiac and Normal West and it's now they're ranked number five in the state and it was all black lit so you can see in the pictures there um they had a spotlight on the map and then it was all black lit behind there. Yeah, really
007cool. Um and then some of our clubs held a gingerbread making night. So they all came to the um school and they all made some gingerbread houses. That will be on our next report. Um [laughter] um there was a broken diving record. So Max Cooper, he broke the school six dive record um by having a score of 296.65. And this also broke the pool record. So really impressive. That's a really really hard score to get. So, um there was the Habitat for Humanity volleyball game. So, Habitat for Humanity held their annual volleyball game. Um it was the senior boys went against the junior boys which unfortunately the juniors won and then the juniors went against the teachers and the teachers won that and it raised over $500. It was a lot of fun to go
008to and I think everyone had a great time. Here are some pictures. On the top there is the um teachers. On the bottom right is the juniors and the bottom left is all the seniors. So um last Friday we had our first title n game schedule with um basketball. So this is something new that's been implemented this year. Um for all conference games we have the boys and the girls play on the same night. Um that way neither team is getting the preferred like Friday night. So they're not getting, you know, like the more students and things like that. Um, so that was against PI Emanuel and so both, so the girls varsity goes first and they're the big gym and then the boys varsity follows in the big gym and then the JV teams
009go to the middle school. Um, and then with that, um, currently the cheerleaders and in all previous years, the cheerleaders have only cheered for boys basketball. So they have cheered for all JV and varsity games home and away. Um and so with the the um double headers because of the title nine, they go down to the middle school and cheer for the boys JV um while the girls varsity game is going on and then come back and cheer for the boys varsity. And so this was something that the girls basketball team had noticed and they weren't the happiest with just because the cheerleaders are already there. So they figured, you know, like we're a varsity team. We would love to get more cheerleaders and we have asked to have the cheerleaders more times. um and
010it's just not been able to happen due to scheduling. So, this is something that I went to Waller about and I had a meeting with um Waller and Miss T last Friday and we talked about planning to change the schedule for next year. So, we will have a meeting at the end of the season to talk about the schedule for next year. Um, and having possibly the cheerleaders come and cheer for the varsity girls as well as possibly taking some boys games off the schedule so they can cheer for some girls non-conference games as well, just like normal home games for the girls. Um, I know they have talked about possibly having the cheerleaders come to our varsity game on Friday. We have another conference game this Friday. And I know Miss T has talked
011possibly about having um the cheerleaders there, but I'm not sure if she has confirmed that or not. So, we're hoping to put that into change soon. Um then this is something else us as um ambassadors have noticed was that recently, especially with there being the snow and it being so cold, um there's been a lot of issues with not having enough parking in the student law. And so there's been multiple days where they have to announce over the speaker like you're going to get towed if you don't have a ticket. And then Sax has to go out there and look at everyone and all the students come running out of the classes and like get their cars and it's just been um a big kind of a hassle for everyone involved. And then a lot
012of people have had to park either on the streets or over at the aquatic centers or some people have been parking in the teacher lots and the teachers haven't had enough spaces and it's kind of just been a domino effect where it just makes an inconvenience for everybody involved. So, we were talking to Guzman about the grass area next to the student lot and if that could be a possibility um to turn that into a parking lot just because we really don't have enough spaces right now because also the um teacher aids like the um U of I students that come in and help they are parking in the student lot as well. So, there's really just not enough parking for all the students. And so we were talking to Guzman and he said the
013first step to making that grass area parking lot would have to be to reszone it. So we wanted to come to the board and ask you guys um I guess like what are your thoughts on that? What would that look like? Is that a possibility? >> What do you guys think? >> Yeah. I mean we as a board can discuss it, but I'm I'd need to like be briefed on the on the legal steps on getting it reszone to figure out what it would take. If it probably take some for a board action, go to the city council if I had to guess. But we need to do some research. >> Okay. >> I can tell you that when the um school bought up all those properties, the neighborhood was told they would not be
014made all made into a parking lot because of aesthetics and things like that. So I mean I think that there would be a discussion. >> Okay. Sure. Yeah. We tend to not do anything here without like talking about it and then letting the public give us feedback before we we act on it. But we we certainly continue to talk about it and and do some research on what it would take to do it. Um I mean there is a a campus we paid you know $30,000 I think about six years ago to come up with a campus land use study and you know that wasn't really part of that plan at that point in time but um you know needs do change over time. We could revisit the question. Yeah, there is student parking in
015that plan. But I think one of the reasons why we took down a lot of that housing there was for future growth on Iowa Street, not for parking. So for more um more uh programming needs to address some of the programming needs at the high school for future. So um I I know we graveled in I don't know how many spaces we added two years ago. Was it like 40 or something in that little gravel area? [clears throat] Um, so yeah, I know we have we did that what three years ago. So we've been adding some parking, but um I think what you're talking about would require us to like, you know, asphalt, concrete, do a lot more work and spend a lot more money for parking spaces when in the future we'd like that
016to be actually um programming space for actual student use for the high school. So, >> um I'm wondering since the middle school has so many fewer teachers now, it seems like that middle school parking lot is often pretty empty. I don't know if something could be worked out. >> It is. Yeah, it it is very empty. I mean, that's something we could talk to the principal at about. It's a little further walk, but it's probably the same as walking over from over by Blair Park, which is where my kids had to park, you know, when they were they always had to park over by Blair and walk over >> Or Broadway. Yeah. So, um that's something we could talk to Principal Karns about because >> that parking lot is very uh available more so than
017ever before. In the front, >> both sides, >> not in the back. Most the back is where most staff park. um by the aquatic center, >> the Vine Street side as well. >> But the Vine Street uh side has some quite a bit of parking >> and probably students here at adult ed. I mean because this lot is very crowded as well and I can imagine that they want to park across the street as well. But it would be interesting to know what the need was. How many teachers are there now? Has that grown? >> Um and how many volunteers do they have per day and how many students are driving to school? So with that information, I think that would give us more idea what the need what the need is. >> Yeah, >>
018I can try to get that for sure because I think we've definitely seen an increase in need in it, at least from just even while I've been here, I feel like I've definitely noticed a lot more of especially just students going into the teacher law and just like overflow where um it just creates, you know, a domino effect where then the teachers don't have their spaces or then, you know, just other things are taken. So, I definitely think there is just more of a need now for >> um more parking, but >> I talked to Principal Guzman and do because it used to be seniors got the privilege of parking. I mean, it was they're probably more juniors parking and driving now. >> There's a lot >> than before. Um but it, you know, it
019was always a big thing. You had to wait till you were a senior and you get a you get a you get to park in the parking lot. You know, it's kind of a big deal. Um, so I think we need to figure out, you know, how many juniors are driving and how many seniors are, you know, how many passes are we giving out because, um, that number has grown to, I think we used to only give out like 40 >> and then we went from 40 to whatever we added in the gravel lot. So, we've probably doubled the student parking just since my kid graduated. I think we only have 40 >> and then we've added it added quite a few since then. So um so yeah I mean I think that would be
020a good study for you guys to do with principal >> yeah do that >> meet with principal karns and >> yes >> one of the things we also called out in the overall strategic plan was a uh revisiting of district priorities with regards to facilities in general and I mean we can make sure that one thing that we do in there is to in all of our buildings really we should probably do an assessment of of of parking and you uh as part of that. So we can make sure that gets done too. >> I don't think that was on Ry's list for the master facilities plan. >> Well, I mean it's something we we're maybe we should consider as all we don't have to. I'm just >> Well, I mean I think when we've
021remodeled each space, we've added parking. >> That's true. >> It's is part of >> No, it was always part of It is always part of every renovation. >> Yeah, it's been part of every renovation. So, I think the elementary schools are probably in a pretty good place, but >> yeah, >> we haven't done a parking study. um or traffic study even for the middle school and high school for quite some time. >> Well, we we did it as part of that overall plan. They they they took not in a while though. >> No, I mean they did drones and they looked at at traffic patterns. >> You mean the campus land use? Yes. >> Yeah. That was what six, seven years ago. It was right before >> that was right when I came. So it
022was in 2019. >> Yeah. >> Anyway. >> Yeah. >> Anyone else? >> Good study topic. >> Pick up as >> we will do that. pick up at the high school is no fun. >> No. Well, that was one of the big things that that addressed. >> That's one of the [snorts] big issues. >> That's and if I mean that's part of why it hasn't been implemented is that it called for completely redoing the roads through the district to kind of get get a one-way flow of traffic pattern that we have done at our other elementary buildings. But it basically calls for building new streets. >> Yeah. >> And putting in a roundabout in the middle and all of that. And it would take a lot of money to do that. >> And one of the
023bigger things that we really want to do is have a um a designated front main entry because right now door one people come to the high school and they don't know what door to go to. Do I go am I going to door three which is on, you know, um race street? Am I going in Iowa Street? And so part of that plan also was to move the attendance office over to Iowa and have a real entrance um where it would be very clear when you arrive that you're at the front entrance. This is where students go, visitors, everybody. Um and we need to separate buses and cars and walkers and the things that we do when we renovate at the elementary level. welcomes it. >> lots of safety improvements in that uh plan proposal
024that was got in 2019, but we haven't had the money to act on it yet. >> A good discussion. >> Thank you. >> Anything else in your report? >> Um I believe that's it. >> All right. Or thank you so much. Good discussion. >> Go study for finals. Good luck. You got this. >> All right. It's now time for board reports. Uh anybody wish to Yeah, go ahead. Go Jennifer. I did have some questions about the enrollment report and I guess I I should apologize because um I should have noticed some of this stuff before um but the discussion that we had at King School um over over lunch um a couple weeks ago I think um it brought this out to me kind of u so my question okay on the enrollment report um
025one which is this one. Uh I thought at the King Lunchon I thought that I understood that the STARS program is a group of students that were sent back to their home schools from Thomas Payne because they had too many sped students for the number of teachers we had been able to hire at Thomas Payne. And I thought there were some of those at every school. So that's partially true but not. The stars program has been a king now. This is year three. So it's existed as its own entity um for a couple years now. >> Okay. So what was said at the So are all of the the students then I I didn't get that impression. I could have been. I wasn't listening carefully. Um but I I had understood that if students were
026sent from Thomas Payne because of the um numbers problem that they were sent back to their home schools. >> Some were and there's some that are still at Thomas Payne. So that program is still >> right. I understand that. And so but the stars program is something different. >> So the stars program is similar to what we used to call our teach program. It's a structured teach model. So, um the students there um some of them have autism, some of them are on the autism spectrum. Um they have a very specific uh criteria. So, it isn't the same as crosscategorical life skills. It's a >> right >> very specific u need. >> Okay. And and they could be from any of the neighborhood areas. >> Yep. Oh, >> there are students in that class who
027are from all over the district. >> Okay. Okay. So, there isn't like a stars program everywhere. Okay. That was my >> misunderstanding. Um and but when we were there, I am positive they said that there really wasn't there weren't criteria for that stars program. >> So, they teachers >> they did ask about it and we have it and so um Beth Lad I just met with her again about it today. So, um, they do have something in writing and I shared with her the concerns, um, from the, uh, representatives from King. So, they're going to be getting that information to them and basically I think to all of our elementary folks so they know what the criteria is to be included in that classroom. So, that classroom right now has already has eight students and
028we usually never go over 10. So, they have eight or nine. So, [clears throat] I think they might actually have nine. So space is also an issue too. So >> Okay. And then and I know these are usually only three minutes. So I don't know if you want to count it as three minutes. Um >> I mean I think I know this we're supposed to follow the procedure that citizens do, but this is kind of an ad hoc thing because you have specific questions. So I don't I don't mind tonight putting a pause on the on the clock. But if this were like, you know, kind of an address to the public or an address to us specifically that you pre-written ahead of time and I would like that to be three minutes. >> Okay.
029Um, and I've been asked by some parents and uh I thought it was a good time to bring it up because of the ADA report, the um attendance report. It seems like um attendance with all of our attention to it has improved at three schools. Thomas Payne, the middle school and the high school. The others are are pretty much stable. Um and and and at pretty high level. I'm not saying they're they're bad. I'm saying they're pretty much stable. But um some parents feel that are it's really good to have an emphasis on attendance, but some of the there are some un unintended consequences. So like one family had COVID, so the kids missed five days. They obviously stayed home for five days. So now they're not eligible for any of the little parties and
030stuff. So that seems kind of punitive for having done what they needed to do. And um so I'm just wondering if and I've heard this from different people. >> Sure. >> Um and that was just the most egregious example. So, I would tell those folks they need to contact their principal and talk to the student engagement from um advocate from that school. Um if they have a very specific that sounds like a really specific um >> No, but I I think that there are other parents who have also, you know, okay, if my kid's sick, he still wants to go because he he doesn't want to miss whatever it is, the popcorn party or something. >> My kids coming to school sick, so they should be staying home. So, I'm just wondering if we need
031to rethink some of of what we do. And um >> so I'm going to say this. If you're sick, you're not at school. So, it's still counted as an absence. So, I don't Right. I know. Okay. So, I don't know that um people are penalizing kids because they're sick and they're missing school. So, if you're >> No, it's just that if you have if you've been sick for some reason. >> Sure. um whatever it is and you miss school and you miss so many. You don't get those little treats. They seem silly to us sometimes, but the kids >> like them. >> Okay. Well, I think those are very specific oneoffs that >> I would address those with the principal specifically. Um and um the I look when you looked at DPW's numbers, they are
032on a par or a little a class size uh or a little lower than the other schools except for fifth grade. Uh for fifth grade, they're a little higher, not outrageously higher, but a little higher. And since that's the school that's been having the most difficulty uh improving, I was wondering did we put a like an aid or something in there >> to help them? And I'm wondering if that wouldn't be a good idea since we're supposed to um work on that with DPW specifically and that's what the why we get the extra money from the state and it was I was just going to make if we're not doing it I'm making a suggestion to look at that. >> Sure. Um, and even if it's just one aid and those three teachers share that
033person, I mean, you know, just >> well below the class size adjustment. >> It is below class size adjustment and I'm not saying that. >> Okay. >> But, uh, it is below class size adjustment, but it is higher than the fifth grades at the other schools. And it's the it's the school we want to have the lowest class size I think. Um so uh and also what does it mean? Um also on the class count one it says um if you look at the number it says um there's a line for special ed. According to the chart, there was one special ed student in kindergarten at King DPW and Thomas Payne and now um sped kids in and no sped kids in kindergarten at the other schools. >> But that isn't so what is that
034sped category telling us at that point? That's just for my information. >> So the students at King that you're seeing in those one categories, those are the students in the stars class. and what grade they're in. >> Okay. So, it's not just your ordinary sped kid. No. >> Who's getting special ed services? >> Those be the the students that are considered part of the stars class and this would be their grade level. >> Okay. That's that was those were my questions. >> Thank you. I'm sorry. >> Yeah, it's all good. Thank you. >> And that would be the same for Thomas Payne. So, if you add those numbers up, it would equal the students that are in crosscad or life skills there. >> You go ahead, Sherry. I I just when I visited King's school,
035I think it was last year, I did become aware of the stars program. I had never known about it. So, if you haven't seen it, I suggest you go and and Okay. So, it's okay. So, anyways, I was surprised that it was there too, but because I didn't know about it, but it's good program. Um and also, um just um on based on the ambassador's report, I just wanted to announce that Max Cooper is in the run for athlete of the week. And I think the voting is finished by Thursday. So he's really very close to the top. I think he's like 7% difference in votes. So I would hope that everybody will go out and vote for Max. >> Yeah, we'll have to find the link. I've not seen that. So I will have
036to find it. >> It's on social media somewhere. Probably on the district social media somewhere. But we should probably >> amplify that. Sure. >> We usually share a banana bands have that as well. >> Yeah, we share that kind of information out district wide. So people can go in and vote. You can vote like once a day or something. So yeah, >> that's awesome. Anyone else? >> All right. I thank you. That concludes board reports for the evening. We do have a list of action items in our consent agenda which I will read off if anybody wishes to move items from the consent agenda to the regular agenda.

I know um Paul already mentioned this, but it is a significant amount of work um that they have to they have to video um tape themselves. They um are in a lot of collegial
041conversations, some very intense lesson planning. And so it is um definitely um something that I I wish more of our teachers aspired to do because but it is it does kind of level them up to master teacher status. Um but it is a lot of work and so uh we applaud um them really pushing their craft and um being the best that they can be as national board certified spokes. So congratulations again. I want to uh shout out our eighth grade girls basketball team. Um they were the regional tramps. Uh so we I think we've already recognized that but um this is their photo at Edison when they uh won the region. So, but unfortunately last week at sectionals, um, as this says, their effort and hustle was on full display. They actually lost in
042a triple overtime win, um, loss rather. Um, and so they just, yeah, it was they worked so hard. They had a wonderful season. I think they were only lost three losses in the whole season. So, um, just a fantastic team and so we applaud them and I know it was a really crushing loss for them. Um but they fought hard to the very end and they had a great season. So congratulations to our um eighth grade girls basketball team. Winter market uh was actually in the middle of winter tundra on Saturday. [laughter] So um the urban I know the I don't know how many people came if they had good um turnout but it was a really hard day to be out in uh out in the elements. But um we applaud all the students.
043You can see all their hard work there in the uh art uh exhibits that they made and um all the money that they uh uh raised is going to go toward their trip to the St. Louis Art Museum and City Museum. Um so hopefully uh they can have another fundraiser to get some more money raised because I felt bad. It was just such a horrible day to be outside and it was their winter market on winter our worst winter storm day on Saturday. But shout out to all the students who work really really hard. You can see some of their artwork and um some of the things that they were selling. So, and then the USC 1116 tree in Lincoln Square. So, be sure to go by and check out the um tiger tree. It
044was created by the human resources team with the theme stronger together leading for the future. I don't know Angie if you want to say anything about it. I don't >> It was actually Kate that did that for us. She's the Kate Cloyd. >> Oh, okay. >> And Lena. Sorry. >> Lena. Oh, nice. So, yeah. So, stop by and look at the USC 1116 um tree. That tiger tree. Stronger together, leading for the future. Awesome. And then lastly, um as as uh our student ambassadors shared, Friday is our last day of attendance for our students before they go off to winter break.
