001for Tuesday, June 24th, 2025 at 5:30 p.m. in the unit office conference room, 500 North 10th Street, Haron, Illinois. If everyone would please rise for the pledge of allegiance. I pledge algiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands. One nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. Mrs. Hastings, would you please call roll? John Hutchinson here. Susie Edertton here. Cindy Miller here. Kelly Green here. Steve Young here. Brad Blakey here. Steve Robinson here. At this time, we'd recognize anybody who would wish to address the board. When recognized, that person should give their name before making their comments. Statements are asked to be limited to five minutes in duration. Do we have anyone here that would like to address the board at this time?
002Thank you for everybody that is here. By the way, we'll move on to the consent agenda. Um, need a motion, a second, and a roll call vote to adopt and approve items listed on the consent agenda and not extracted for Tuesday, June 24th, 2025. I I need Mr. Wilson to explain because I think there's some board members that are questioning the capital projects funded and the working cash fund. You explain that one, Rachel? The the adopt resolution to authorize repayment from capital projects fund to working cash fund for inter fund loans. Oh, that was just uh we had had an inter fund loan between the two accounts and then because at the end of the month one of them didn't have enough cash but then when the cash came in we just had to transfer
003to repay it. Yeah, I think the question was I said the capital projects fund I thought the funds were for building projects only. So, it was just that um we had not put enough sales tax funds. The sales tax funds go between 30 30 and 60. Yes. Mhm. So, we've been putting them all in 30 for the uh bond payments, but we budgeted more into 60 this year because we knew we were going to need the surplus. So, I hadn't moved all of that over yet. So at the end of the month it was short. So it's just sales tax money that had been put into 30 but needed to be put into 60. So 60 at the end of the month was short money. So I needed to do an inter fund loan then
004transfer the money from 30 to 60 and then repay fund 70. So in short everything was done appropriately. Correct. Yes. Okay. So it it wasn't really about any money being spent. It was about everything in fund 60 was spent appropriately. There just wasn't enough revenue in there to cover what was spent. So basically there was negative cash. So when there was negative cash, what I realized is it was because there was some sales tax funds had all been put into fund 30, which is what we've always done in the past. But this year when we did the budget, we realized with our projects, we would need to put some of that into fund 60 and I put it all in fund 30. So it made negative cash here. So I had to do an inter
005fund loan. And then I did another entry to get the sales tax revenue to where it needed to be in fund 60, which then gave us the cash and then repay the interf. So everything's appropriate and all this is accounted for appropriately for our auditors to be able to see that. Yeah, we're spending sales tax money on capital project which is totally 100%. This was an inund no expenses. This is all a balance sheet. Thank you, Rachel. Cindy Miller, yes. John Hutchinson, yes. Kelly Green, yes. Brad Blakey, yes. Susie Ethet, yes. Steve Robinson, yes. Steve Young. Yes. This time, Mr. Wilson, would you present an update on our district construction projects? Sure. Uh, we'll start with the junior high school. For all intents and purposes, junior high school is done. We're on punch list items.
006Um, those are things that just the the small miscellaneous things that got to get taken place. One of the uh items that is maybe not as small is that whenever they painted the gym, the contractor did not cover the um cold air returns. Double cover them. covered them but didn't double cover. And so there was some paint that actually had gotten sucked in. Those paint flexcks had gotten sucked in. So our engineers said that's got to be cleaned up 100% before we um turn loose of that and say that's met qualification. So that's one thing. They actually just finished up the bleachers in the new in the gymnasium um a week ago Friday. So that's done. We just got our kitchen equipment debacle all organized. They sent the wrong steamers. Those new steamers came in
007last week as well. So, those little pieces like that have been done. We'll have the new cafeteria tables being delivered Thursday of this week, I believe it is. Thursday or Friday of this week. So, really, uh, if you can see outside, the work is done. Um, from the contractor standpoint, parking lot's done. Landscape on the back side's done. Uh, we're there is a void of a sidewalk on the south end of the gymnasium. We're going to put a sidewalk in there. Joe Gerian is going to do that locally. Uh Joe, local concrete guy going to do that for us. Um the city's going to come in and they're going to pave uh that um gosh, which street is it? 13th. I always get mixed up on the west side of the school. 13th. They're going
008to pave that. So that's going to clean that up and make that look nice in there. So outside that part is being done. couple of just miscellaneous um issues throughout the the the whole the whole project, but really um it's done. Uh at this point in time to get junior high open house with vacations, with everything that's being miscellaneous wrapped up. Probably going to push that open house back to about the time school is going to start a few weeks before school starts so everybody can get in there and see it. If you've not been there yet, it's really nice, gym. It does look really good. Cafeteria looks good. Music cafeteria. Yes. program. Yes, we are. No, the flow the flow the way the cafeteria is set up, things like that. The cafeteria is not
009an issue because we don't have that many kids coming in eating. It's been more of the the learning experience on the kitchen equipment side of things. Um again, the kitchen equipment was outside of the general contractor's scope that we contracted or excuse me, we had purchased that ourselves and the the central restaurant supply which was once Hobart, which was once something else, it changed hands like three or four times since they actually got the bid. that made it a little complicated and we got some um miscommunication on a few pieces, but we've got those lined out. So, the kitchen's been running, John. It's been uh I'm glad we were able to do it now in the summertime with a kind of a minimal scale of food being served each day. So, that's been a good
010experience, but good uh dry run, more or less. So, uh we've stayed on them, uh the kitchen supply company, and we're about to get that all wrapped up and in in good shape there for the junior high project. So, um, we still have the, uh, retainage that we owe or that we owe the contractor and once they finalize the punch list items to our satisfaction, then we'll release those final funds, which is about $650,000, about 10% of the original project bid. Um, and we'll release those once we have everything done to our satisfaction. Mr. Wilson, I probably should know this. Who's our engineer for this project? Uh, so the engineer is WFP as one of them on the on the heating mechanical side of things. Um, Ryan Farley was one of the engineers on it
011as well. Um, feel like I'm missing one of the engineering groups in there. Those are two of the engineering companies. I know that, but there's a few of them in there involved in that project. Okay. Thank you. Um, on the uh last month's meeting, we uh talked about the unit office and possible explore the unit office and what can we do as far as making improvements here. Um, I got in touch with Steve Sims, our architect, and uh, Steve had kind of dropped a a generic print for what a unit office could look like for us here. Uh, the unit office team, we all got our eyes on that. Uh, spent a couple days looking, and then we got together, spent some time kind of dissecting it with Steve, talking about what worked, what didn't
012work, some back and forth with Steve on that. um he's been able to get back to us yesterday a another draft of what that might look like. So, we are in a process of getting some ideas of what can the unit office redesign look like. Um we're going to talk to some other uh I'm not sure the right architects I guess is one thing to say and get some other ideas. So, we're not just locked in going one direction right now with Mr. Sim. Steve's been very good to us, but we want to make sure we're getting all the kinds of ideas that we can on this kind of project and make sure we get what we want and uh if anybody else can share um you know other ideas with us of what they've
013done someplace else, we're open to those right now. Um but it's it's very very initial stages um to get the square footage down, get the office, as Steve says, form and function. You got to have the functional pieces of it and then the form of it. And then after that, you get that what's your budget look like? You want to dress it up, do some fancy things, we'll go from there. There's this is an item, Mr. Wilson, that has to be bid if it reaches a certain amount of money. We will absolutely have to bid this. Uhhuh. It will definitely be a bid um project for us. Early estimates is in the, you know, $2 and half to $3 million range. Um, of course, that's on June of 2025, and we all know that just
014a couple of years ago, that would have been significantly less. And if we start, you know, getting into the budget side of things and looking at what's our timeline for something like this, if it can happen, when it will happen, those those pieces will have to come together. But I would estimate $3 million is a pretty good number to work with. Yeah. Just initial stages, continue working on it. Any other questions for Mr. Wilson on the project? I think that's all we have, right? Yep. Well, the press policy, I mean on project. Yes. Yes. Okay. Um any questions with regard to the press policies that were presented? I I did want to share just a little bit and within these press policies, a lot of updates, updated policies, updated policies. One of the things that's
015been a hot topic is artificial intelligence AI. This does bring in one of the first uh the first AI policy that we have seen um from a policy level. That is something as a district we're going to have to dive into this year. this will be a policy that kind of helps us um gives us the you know 25,000 foot view of it. Now we're going to have to start getting down into the you know 10,000 foot view working with our teachers and administrators of what does this look like for us in each building. And so I think that's going to be one of the bigger things we're going to have to tackle this year is artificial intelligence AI um I you know chat GPT Gemini Claude u Copilot you know those are the basic
016ones that we're using. I talked to my nephew the other day he's going to be a senior in high school in Missouri and he goes I'm not going to lie I wrote a five paragraph essay with chat GPT last year. I was like a boy. So work smarter not harder. I'm not sure that's the answer, but uh I do know it's something that, you know, it's not necessarily what are we going to teach our kids. We're not at that level yet. They're already using it. It's more how do we manage it? How do our teachers use it in the classroom? How do we kind of harness the power of it and also um protect from the dangers of it. So, that's something that we're going to have to get into. And some of those uh
017that's a a basic policy that's in this month's press packet. So, just wanted to address that because there's gonna be more to come on that I'm pretty sure. Any questions for Mr. Wilson on those? Not. I need a motion, a second, and a roll call vote to adopt and approve the school board press policies as presented. Green. Yes. Miller, yes. Susie, yes. Steve Robinson, yes. Brad Lakey, yes. Steve Young, John Hutchinson, yes. Moving on to the special reports for Northside Primary Center. There were two students who had perfect attendance for the entire 2024 2025 school year. They were Thomas Rosenau and Katie Nuome. Um, thank you to Megabytes for donating $50 to the students with perfect attendance. 38 students at Northside Primary Center had perfect attendance during the fourth quarter and 117 students had perfect
018attendance in May. Want to wish congratulations to Mrs. Francine Savings for being named the Illinois School Scholar Association Impact Award winner for 2025.

That's just wonderful for him to be ranked that high in the United States and
019so hopefully he will go on to do good things. Um I know that he's been looking at some colleges and things like that. So good luck to him. Girls track all conference members Shaniah Johnson, Ellery Blakey, Josie Brandon, Aaron John, Aaliyah Williams, Brooklyn Brandon, and Emry Scaggs.

And last but not least, bass fish bass fishing Tanner Hall and Ryan, sorry, Ryland Lawa. I knew how to pronounce the Lawa. The Ryland got me mixed around there. Place six at the IHSA state fishing tournament at Lake Shelbyville. So, congratulations to all of our Tigers. One of the things too I want to
020throw out there, we just got yesterday, Miss Coffee had written for a uh breakfast expansion grant, school breakfast school breakfast expansion grant and uh she or we the district was awarded that and that's going to allow us to replace us our milk coolers in our cafeteria. So that's a nice little upgrade for us. Yeah. So Miss Coffee is great about finding those grants and getting on them and getting those funds. So I mean every5$10,000 she gets helps tremendously. I'm not sure the total value of that, but it's a good one. Thank you to Mrs. Coffee for that. Um, moving on to new business. Any discussion with regard to the district phone system. Any questions? Not. We need a motion, a second, and a roll call vote to approve the proposals with complete technology solutions as
021presented. Second. Steve Young, yes. Brad Blakey, yes. John Hutchinson, yes. Steve Robinson, yes. Kelly Green, yes. Do the other. Yes. Sydney Miller. Yes. We need a motion, a second, and roll call vote to approve the 2025 2020 handbooks as presented. Question. Yes. Were there revisions made in the high school handbook? I didn't read all. Yes. Okay. I have a question too on that. I didn't read all the pages. I have to admit that. I looked at the yellow highlighted. Sure. Yeah. Um, and the only thing I I reflect on is when we're citing state law or we're talking about referring it to state law, it might be nice to make a citation there on the page, the document, the citation. So, if a parent decides, I'm going to look that up. I they might have
022a better effort of trying to find out exactly where we're looking because state law is a wide open, it's a pretty broad document. I was in particular talking about corporal punishment because you say that, you know, in the elementary school that it's referring back to state law. So, we probably need to we don't have to cite it and quote it, but we need to give a paragraph and a page or something like that so they can refer back to what that means. But note more or less. What I was going to say is if there's a if this is going to be electronic, then you could put the hyperlink in there for them to immediately go to. Yeah. And that may be throughout I'm I'm I'm only applying this to one thing that I it
023kind of stuck out to me. It may be through the documents that it might be a nice idea just to and and we're I think it's a good idea and I mean we're making you've made a lot of changes making things better, more accessible I think is the right way because you know we've gone from where everything was total paper. How many years ago Cassie where everything was total paper? It wasn't that many. Um, and now we're fully digital on it and and Eli's done a ton of work cleaning stuff up, getting stuff formatted consistently throughout the district. Uh, we do also utilize the IPA, Illinois Principles Association model handbook so we can make sure we're keeping ourselves in check with um any legal pieces of it that may have changed as well. But I
024I like your idea. Yeah. And that one document too, and you might look at page 30 where complaint by students. Mhm. Um it might be that there's a duplicate there because it talks about who to report to. It talks about reporting to Cassie and then a little bit further down it leaves Cassie out, but it kind of has the same language in it. Yeah. I wonder is I'll look at it. Is which particular handbook are you in? This the elementary. Okay. Okay. I'll take a look at it and make sure it's something that didn't because it referred to and to Yeah. as well. So, can we ask this question? Instead of referring to specific names, can we put titles in there so that it doesn't have to be changed or looked at? I'd sometimes yes
025and sometimes no. I mean, there there can be generic placeholders at times, but other times you have to have a specific name. Okay. Any other questions, concerns, or My only my only last thing and I this horse uh we talk about every every handbook has a different logo. Mhm. I know the unit has a logo. There it is. Um, the high school has a different logo. The elementary school has a different logo. The junior high has no logo on the front of their book. It is there a person such as yourself that gives permission for the use of logos and marks because we can have anybody and everybody deciding on a document or a foam mat or a cup what logo they want to use, right? And so that's a good point. And we have
026asked to change. I did notice elementary is not changing. I doesn't have one on there, but we are doing that more. Eli Eli Oale is our communications guru. Um he has came up with a very nice um document, a guide style guide, I believe is what we're calling it. And it has a the logos. We're actually working on some more logos still. So, you know, we've gone a lot to that side profile tiger head um as one. The H is another one. We have the round logo for each building and the district kind of a more professional looking type. And now as coaches have came to us, club sponsors have came to us and said, "I I need a more kid-friendly logo because that tiger's too scary." Um, it's we're working on things like that.
027So, yes, but for that to flow through, yes, we can be consistent because, you know, when you look at SIU and the Saluki dog, it's the Saluki dog. We all know the Saluki dog, right? And so, protective of we we want to be that way to where we have a very defined brand but also realizing that we have a prek through 12 structure whereas SIU is just college only so trying to keep everything in pocket where it's not too far off the guide so it there are some changes that we're still in in in progress and we don't have everything just consistently branded yet but we are working towards that has consistently work working towards being consistent with our logos that we're using throughout the district. Pretty sure it was in your orange color, the
028correct orange color, all those types of things. Yes, very much. And it just it just really it helps us to to look look good. I'm over the handbook. Yeah. No, good points. Good points. Good. Funny enough, is I actually emailed Dr. Hback's like, "You guys really need to change that logo on that." So, I don't have the updated version, but Okay. Yep. Any other questions or concerns with regard to the handbooks? Oh, I wanted to say too on that I I did check on that page and you have to have two different people in there in case a faculty member or parent doesn't feel comfortable going to let's say Mrs. Hearing, you have to have another alternate Miss Lukans in that case and sometimes there's a male female row too. So that was why there
029was two on that page. At this point, we need a motion, a second, and a roll call vote to approve the 2025 2026 handbooks as presented. Second. Susie, yes. Dave Robinson, yes. Steve Young, yes. John Hudchinson, yes. Cindy Miller, yes. Kelly Green, yes. Rob Bradley, yes. Any questions with regard to the Chromebook usage agreement? If not, we need a motion, a second, and a roll call vote to approve the 2025 2026 Chromebook usage agreement. Steve Robinson, yes. John Hutchinson, yes. Brad Blakey, yes. Steve Young, yes. Susie Artheton, yes. Cindy Miller, yes. Kelly Green, yes. This time I need a motion, a second, and a roll call vote to establish the meeting time and place for the Heron Community Unit School District number four board of education as presented. [Music] Second Blakey, yes. Susie Edertton, yes.
030Steve Robinson, yes. John Hudson, yes. Kelly Green, yes. Cindy Miller, yes. Steve Young, yes. At this time, Mr. and will present some information with regard to our long-term debt restructure. Yeah, long-term debt restructuring was something Dr. Riker inherited and something that I inherited um through the very lean times of the uh state funding in Illinois for public schools. Um some bonds were sold uh quite a few bonds were sold actually uh some years ago, particularly now we're looking at ones in 13 and 15. Those bonds were balloon payments, so we weren't paying the full principal on those, just pos excuse me, interest only on those bonds for the past 10 years. Those bonds were sold to do some work in the district that needed to be done at the time. And again, there just weren't
031funds available um to do those types of things. So anyway, um we have a pretty substantial amount, 265. Um I I just realized that says 26,500. That's not right. It's 26.5 million. Decimal points do matter. Um, but we uh we've got this uh outstanding bond debt and it's through alternative revenue bonds which means it's against our 1-centent sales tax. So, we're paying these bonds with our 1-centent sales tax. It's not a bond on our general local community taxpayers. Um, anybody that comes through the Marian buys gasoline, they're helping to pay for that bond. Anybody's going shopping, eating at Chick-fil-A, whatever, they're helping pay for our bonds. So, that's the advantage of it's not a local taxpayer. So, the annual sales tax has been a very good thing for our district. It's continued to uh increase
032annually over the past five years. We've seen that increase each year. Uh we're at $2.5 million this year in sales tax revenue, which is fantastic. It's up another 150,000 from last year. I anticipate that to that'll continue to increase. However, the bond payment that is going to be due next year against this 1 cent sales tax, that payment is 2.8 million. Just said we have 2.5 million that came in this year. 2.8 million is our payment next year. So, we have to restructure this outstanding debt in a way that allows us to make our payment for the next however many years. Right now, um that debt is going to be out through 2035. That's how it was originally written. Um, wasn't anything that I had anything to do with. Um, but that's how that debt
033was originally structured out to 2035. We can't do that um, at this point in time. So, we've got to restructure it. Couple different options. Rachel and I have been talking to Stephen Adams and Stephen Adams works with um, is our financial adviser that we work with, the district works with. And a couple of different options we've had Stephen present to us was basically putting this debt out for another 10 years or putting it out for another 15 years. So again, 10 years, the new end year would be 2045. At 15 years, the new end year would be 2050. And it's really mind-boggling to try to wrap your head around the fact that we're making decisions today that's going to impact the 2045 superintendent. I don't think it's going to be me. Um, and I'm trying
034to put things in order so we can make the headway we need to against this debt, but also leave ourselves money within that sales tax revenue to do what we need to do. Replacing HVAC's, taking care of roofing projects, taking care of a new addition, a new building, whatever it may be. So, trying to find the best of both worlds to extend it out 10 years or 15 years. And then how much room does that leave us? So at this point in time, if we would go out 10 years with this uh additional 10 years, that would make our annual payment about 1.575 million each year. That would leave us approximately a million dollars in sales tax for taking care of other capital projects that need to be taken care of. If you go out
03515 years, the new year 2050, annual payment goes down just a little bit to about 1.4 million. And so you have about 1.1 million for other capital needs. Now, the disadvantage of going out of 15 years, that is a little bit higher interest rates. So, you're going to be paying more interest for five more years, too. So, that's the pros and cons. Not a decision that needs to be made tonight. We have to make this decision uh no later than the board November board meeting. Um we talked Rachel actually talked to Stephen again the other day. Uh we visit with him regularly. We uh in the spring, in the fall, and so we're going to have Stephen come in. If you guys would like Steve Adams to come in and talk to you all and
036show you some pretty charts and graphs and explain it to you differently, uh he is more than welcome to do that. I'm happy to have him here. Um but this is more or less just, hey, here's what's on our radar coming up. Everybody kind of think about it, give you some time to process it, ask me questions, think about strategically what are we wanting to do as a district, how much money do we need, and then talk through it a few different times to make a best decision that we can make with the circumstances that we have. So that's what uh very high level view of our outstanding debt um that we're going to have to be taken care of here in just a couple of months. And I my question is because I'm new
037to this, what other pockets of money do we have that we could utilize if we wanted to to pay this debt? We only have the 1 cent sales tax. Okay, that's it. By law, that's what we have to do because it was generated to alternate revenue bond against the 1-cent sales tax. There are other methods of bonding for the district that it's moving money around and and really is that's what it does is one big pile of money and you just kind of move it around. But this one particularly the one cent sales tax um you have to use it for what you say you're going to use it for as an attorney brought to the attention of the Heron district a few years ago. Yeah. Mhm. But if we had to run into putting
038a new air conditioning unit or something like that, we didn't have this money. What money do we have? That would be other state funding that we could move over to take care of that. Um, you know, when your when your state funding comes in and your that's one pipe of money, pipeline of monies, your uh evidence-based funding, we can move it. If we needed to move $100,000 over to take care of some projects in the district, a new roof, HVAC's, whatever, we can do that. Another funding mechanism is our local tax levy. The local tax levy is another generator of funding. And when we do the local tax levy in November, December, that's where we can say, "All right, here's how much money we're putting over here for capital projects or for operations and maintenance."
039So, there are a couple of other streams to take care of the HVAC, roofing, other capital projects, but they're not necessarily other streams that can pay for this directly. and and taking this million dollars that we project we would have in revenue. If we didn't use all that million dollars, we would build it in a it would build in the fund. Okay. It would continue to build. You're just banking it. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. That's kind of what we did with our ESSER funds, which was the federal government COVID money. Um we didn't spend that money whatever year it was that was released, but we kind of saved it up to spend it this year. Okay. Any other questions with regard to our long-term questions? Yeah. Thanks. Okay. At this time, I need a motion, a
040second, and a roll of vote to close the meeting in accordance with section 122A of the Open Meetings Act, citing the following exceptions as contained in section 122C to discuss disciplinary cases.
