001This is too much. >> I see to do what? >> Hi everyone. Welcome to our board meetings. Tuesday, April 21st, 2026. At 6 PM, the Cook County School District 1:30 Board of Education will hold a regular board meeting here at the Eisenhower Cooperative Connections room. I read that wrong. Sorry. Um, I'd like to open the meeting with roll call. Thank you, Mr. >> Here. Here. >> Here. Martinez >> here. >> Thank you. Can we stand for the pledge of allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for it stands one nation indivisible with liberty and justice for all. We're now opening the floor to public comment. If you'd like to address the board, please fill out the designated sign-in sheet at the check-in table. Additionally, please be aware that

002comments made during this time are not protected from potential legal liability. As a reminder, the board will not respond to or engage in dialogue with individuals choosing to make a public comment. The board reserves the right to limit the length of public comments and has exercised that right for this meeting. Individual comments are limited to three minutes with a total of no more than 30 minutes allotted for all public comments. We also ask that all comments be made respectfully and in a manner that does not disrupt the meeting. With that said, we invite our first speaker to address the board. Um, Miss Stephanie Woodram. Good evening everyone. My name is Stephanie Windrum and I am the BESPA430 union president and I didn't prepare anything. I don't have anything in at this time. We do not

003have any concerns, but I did want to acknowledge and thank uh Dr. McKay and her cabinet and all administrators that work with the pair of professionals. Um when we do have concerns and things, they do address them in a timely manner and we just want to extend our thanks and appreciation. Thank you. >> Next, we have Doug Taylor. Good evening. Uh I'm with SEO 73 and I represent mainten Marshall to help me with that project here. Uh and so tonight I wish I could address the same comments that the previous speaker had. Uh but tonight I want to talk about union busing and how it happens here to our unit. Uh so just a couple things when you create a workplace that is so difficult to maintain then that is creating an unsustainable situation uh

004workers treatment and communication with the short staffing and the unrealistic expectations of the piece that I want to talk about tonight. Um, previously, and I was an elementary math teacher for 33 years, so we're going to have a math lesson. Uh, so here we go. Um, previously, I'm going to choose one school as an example. Lincoln Elementary was staffed in August of this year with four custodians, two of which worked till 11:00, which means each of those had seven hours of afterchool time to clean classrooms. So that makes 14 total. They also had 110 to 7 which gets another four hours. Then that's 18 hours of working time after school. That's there today. I was checking around see what staffing was like today. And so today they have four hours of after school cleaning time.

005So we go from 18 to four. And in my first grade math 18 is more than four. So previously in August they had more opportunity, more time, a more realistic expectation for them to finish. Now they've got one person with four hours after the school day which is not possible. 18 in August, four now. Uh and that trend follows in every school. Um I would I you know didn't checking on who is where today just checking out this the list I have doesn't accurately reflect where people are positioned now. And so it's just really hard for them to live up to the unrealistic expectations because they are short staffed and this move the migration away from the 2 to 11 shift to a 10 to 7 creates a shortage of working hours for folks. And

006yet you the expectations are the same. So you can see how frustrated people would be about that trying to do their best knowing that they are and they cannot complete the same areas in a greatly reduced amount of time. And I've heard in some places they're asking folks to go into classrooms over the lunch break and clean up and then of course by the end of the day it doesn't look like they've been in there because students in my experience in 33 years students are messy creatures and they just bring that with them. >> All right. Thank you. I hope that we will address that unrealistic expectation because it is winding down your staff and that goes back to the union blessing piece making it so difficult to be here. Thank you. The next speaker

007is Mary Slo. >> Hi, I'm Mary Sloan. I'm here regarding the recent removal of the board president and the continued lack of transparency surrounding that decision. At the last meeting, the vice president stated she had no prior knowledge of the vote and directly asked for an explanation. That question was not answered. This was not the public asking. It was a fellow board member. The refusal to respond then and the continued silence now is deeply concerning. If there's nothing to hide, there should be no issue providing clear answers. So for the public record, under what specific board policy was the president removed? Was this decision discussed prior to the meeting? and if so, when and where? If discussed in close session, what exemption under the Illinois Open Meetings Act allowed it? Why was the vice president

008not informed in advance of a decision affecting board leadership? And why was she not voted voted to remove although the meeting was called to pull from the rules, I will be submitting these questions in writing and expect a formal response. This is no longer just about a leadership change. It is about process, communication, and trust. When decisions are made without explanation and questions are met with silence, that is not transparency. It's avoidance. This community deserves better. I also want to address the custodial contract. What is being presented publicly does not align with what is actually being experienced in all the schools. In buildings like her and Lincoln, I have not seen the level of concern being claimed. I also have spoken to people in many of the schools of all levels of leadership. They do

009not share these concerns. If there are performance issues, you address them. You do not replace entire shifts or restructure staffing without clear justification, especially when those decisions impact people's livelihoods. Additionally, I was told by the spouse of a current board member that still holds her position, mind you, that the former president, Sarah Ro, did not support these custodial changes and that this created conflict with the administration. If that is true, it raises serious concerns that her removal may have been retaliatory, which therefore then is illegal. That should concern everyone. It calls into question the integrity of this board, especially as you move forward toward appointing future district leadership. We have already lost valuable staff under current leadership. But continued lack of transparency and accountability will only make that worse. I look forward to your response.

010Thank you. There are no other public comments. Moving on to board comments at this time. Do any members of the board have any comments? >> I have a comment. Thank you. Since joining the board about a year ago, I have done my best to advocate for our community. I believe in the importance of open and respectful and ensuring fair process and policies. I believe that financial transparency is critical for government and that's why I pushed to ensure the budget was discussed publicly and that they have a chance to include any policy goals such as those we are working on tonight. I also believe it's particularly important that leaders held us accountable for the decision they especially that impact our children. That's why I believe on the record to support action. I would also like to

011thank community members who attended that meeting to ask for accountability for the public. my part. I will continue to be attentive to the needs of our communities, advocate for both transparency and the best educational outcomes. Are there any other board comments? Um, at this time, the student advisory board will recognize an eighth grade student from each middle school. Okay, before we give the great um awards today, if they started talking because I not feeling great today, but um before we give the grade, they wanted to talk a little bit um first about some things that they wanted to share and then they will um give the recipients their awards for today. We would like to thank our wonderful teachers for preparing us for our upcoming high school years in these moves. We're really grateful for

012how hard they work despite students constantly disrupting them and like challenges they have to face because it's definitely hard from what I see. So, we're just like very grateful for that. Um, we're grateful for our teachers for giving us extra work, even some of that is not fair grade, as it helps us prepare for high school. We are also thankful for how our confidence and fear of high school has mostly faded since they've uh kind of lifted the stress from us by giving us what we need and beyond. Uh we are also thankful for them talking to us about how it may be for us in high school and giving us tips on how high school will be and what to do. We're also thankful for our math teachers who got us notes about high

013school math and help us to prepare for what we're going to be getting into when we actually go to high school because it it is very difficult based on what we've seen. Not only that, we would also like to talk about our appreciation for our principles, vice principles, board members, Mrs. Hill, and superintendent Dr. K for giving us the opportunity to gain experience and play a part in the student advisory board 2025 to 2026. Doing this has definitely helped us become more prepared for years to come and just prepare for what life is going to be like. Not only would we want to mention our great teachers, we would also like to recognize some great students for this month. First, first we would like to recognize I don't know how to say her last name,

014but she's shown a lot of leadership and really great skills and all under those Um, we would like to recognize Jesus Ambrosio for responsibility, his kindness and overall wellness in school. Lastly, we would like to um recognize Gabriel Diaz, who is a hardworking and respectful student who is an active example for eighth graders at Kern Middle School. Thank you. At this time, um, we can take a brief recess to allow the students and the family members here of the great awards to leave if they'd like or they are welcome to stay and be here for the rest of the meeting. The next item on the agenda um we move to our presentations and invite Jennifer Gunderson um of the American Heart Association to come forward. >> Hi everyone. Good evening. My name is Jennifer Gunderson.

015I'm a school engagement director for the American Heart Association and I oversee the Kids Heart Challenge program in your school district. Tonight, I have the privilege of recognizing some amazing staff members who have put immense effort into making the Kids Heart Challenge a success. Kids Heart Challenge is a service learning program that focuses on teaching students the importance of keeping their hearts healthy, maintaining overall wellness, and most importantly, learning hands-only CPR. This year, 34 families in your school district learn handsonly CPR through the program. That means dozens of community members are now equipped with this life-saving skill. I would like to recognize the following staff members for their exemplary leadership of the Kids Heart Challenge programs at their schools. First up at Nathan Hale Primary, we have Mr. Tom McInness and along with principal Lorine

016Given. Tom and Jacob continue to set the bar for Kids Heart Challenge at Nathan Hale Primary, raising over $8,400 this year and last year a record-breaking $9,500. the students support each year to not only participating in the kids heart challenge but also having the chance to pie one of their teachers or even principal kibbons in the face as a reward. Um they do they have a really amazing program that they run um Tom has done it for years and it's something that the kids really look forward to every year. So they do a really amazing job at George Washington. Carrie Budc and principal Danielle Graber. Um Carrie's in her second year working with the Kids Heart Challenge and she's really shown how much heart she has for the program. This year Carrie raised $1,000 more

017than she did last year and she tripled the number of students who have learned handsonly CPR. This year, Carrie raised a little over $3,300. At Lincoln Elementary, we have Principal Kevin Hash. We have Jason Suchinsky and Britney Gilbert. With the support of the PE staff, Lincoln Elementary raised over $500 more than they did the previous year, and they doubled their number of students who learned handsonly CPR, raising nearly $2,000. Jason also offered to put on a big bullet costume that we do at our assemblies um last year. So, props to him for doing that because not all teachers would do that. And then lastly, at Paul River Primary, Kelly Cummings and her team. Kelly and her team did a wonderful job implementing the Kids Heart Challenge. This year, students learn the importance of keeping their

018hearts healthy while raising almost $800 in donations. Um, without the participation of families like those in Cook County School District 130, the American Heart Association would not be able to continue its life-saving research, data collection, and education on heart health. A special thank you to Miss Theresa Mau for her consistent communication and organization, helping to ensure this program is possible for students. Um, I originally met with Dr. McCay, it was about three years ago, and the program has is really grown in the district. Um, and I want to follow and or finish with I personally work with two fifth graders um, in the community and they both have had multiple heart surgeries. One of them has had a stroke and when we do kids heart challenge, we the kids love, you know, fundraising. They love

019giving their thank you gifts. Um, they love asking, you know, talking to their family and friends about it. But these kids I work with, they're so grateful for everything that our community does. And it's because of teachers like you, administrators, parents. So, thank you everybody. I appreciate it. >> Thank you. Thank you. At this time, we move to consent agenda. Are there any items that the board members would like to remove or from the consent agenda for separate discussion? >> Not remove, but I'd like to hear a little bit about Oh, sorry. Uh, >> he is in um Peter. Um, so the district literacy plan is actually a subset of the Illinois literacy plan which was set forth by state legislature in January of 2024. board approved it. And basically what that particular plan does

020is to um address uh at that time the 2022 fourth grade scores indicated indicating that urgent need for changing literacy instruction uh was due. roughly 67% of the nation's fourth grade students were below proficient in literacy and even more 38% were actually below basic on that score. Um I looked up just 24 scores are currently below basic ones. So the state along with 40 to 4500 states set forth the detmining how do we best audit our literacy and make changes the changes that were advocated for are however you won't find those terms in that particular plan what you will find is the term repeatedly used high quality evidence instruction and so um after the plan all districts were then time to develop their own local plan work series. Um the instructional coaching team and the

021curriculum coordinator and I later this month and we've worked through their particular tool to develop our version of that. >> I also have one more question on that and was just wondering I noticed that no principles or teachers were part of the delivery and I was just wondering if so we have our special weekly as you know on a regular basis. So on Friday instructional coach student everybody is equipped with the instructional coach. They are required by the actual student centered framework that we have adopted to meet with that principal and they have communicated all of those particular principles. They've also conducted a teacher institute on March 17th which over the Illinois comprehensive literacy plan. Um I included in the monthly department newsletter as well that we also have an English language arts um wellowned

022national consultant who is visiting each of the schools during their professional learning communities and covering the core of the plan itself. So, we're embedding it within the day. >> You're very welcome. >> Were there any other board member comments on consent agendas? >> Um, just real quick, letter S. Um, just wondering if that is for current teachers or if it's teachers coming in. It said through agency grant. So, can you speak to that? >> Sure. So, it's our teacher agency grants that we received. This is our third year receiving it. Um it is a grant that we use. Um it's an incentive that we give the teachers a few years. Um we have the teacher sign contracts after they receive the money. Um the contract basically states that they will be returning for the next

023year to kind of solidify that they're staying for the next year. But it is an incentive. Um the first two years we were $935 roughly that we gave to the teachers. They reduced the cost this year um that they gave us from the state and it's now about 685. So what you're approving right now is for the teachers to receive that. >> Yep. >> Thank are there any other questions, comments? If there are none, may I have a motion to approve consent agenda items as presented for this meeting? The items are 5 A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P, Q, R, S, T, U, and V. Is there a second? >> Roll call, please. >> Uh, roll. >> Yes. Mr. >> Yes. >> Mr. >> Yes.

024>> Mr. Warner. >> Yes. >> Motion carries. Sorry. pages. Um, we'll now move on to action items. The first action item is the Cook County, Illinois transportation fiscal year 2027 contract renewal. Um, any discussion for options for a one, two, or threeear extension? >> I do have a question on the the district competitive and not required to do or I mean for the second years and then after 10 years um at this point in time Illinois is back by students and um Illinois was a family and did not want to continue to get but that's There's a law that says that we are able to the only time when you know they do um you know like to go out to bid is if there is a company that is requesting What was the length

025of time? >> I have here now with the economy right now gas prices are going up. I don't know what's going to be uh happening in the near future with everything. So I don't know if you know the board would like to proceed with securing or renewal% >> um I think it's too far ahead and to see what's going on also um with this new um murder with our students there's I believe there's a lot of uncertainty so you know the district or the board members are unhappy with the company. I do agree while you're trying to be better and going for the gas prices coming down maybe getting extra cost that we really don't need to incur. I agree with >> May I have a motion to approve a one-year extension with the Cook

026County I'm sorry, Cook Illinois Transportation >> contract. >> I'll second guess. Yes. >> Yes. >> Motion carries. The next item on the agenda is CIA weapons detection device proposal. Um I believe Mr. Far had a presentation. Did I say that wrong? >> Now you do. >> Good evening. I I don't exactly have a presentation, but I I do have a few words. Um Chad came out in September and put on a demonstration for us. Currently, the district utilizes three systems. When when the district entered into the lease of the Evolve systems. I believe that they were misled by Evolve. Um, and the FDC recently took legal action against Evolve and banned them from making un unsubstantiated claims about how well their product detects weapons. Chef came out, put on a demonstration. The two systems are

027are like night and day. The evolve is big and bulky and and heavy and and almost permanent where the CHA system is light, movable, and it offers more flexibility, you know, with different traffic patterns. Uh this goes into uh into graduation uh with two different locations for graduation and three machines. It really limits our capability of filtering in both students and parents and families into the buildings efficiently and quickly. So if we were to purchase one of these systems, we'd be able to offer two systems at each Going forward, the system would be placed at NHM to alleviate the traffic burden in and around the campus. I would also add that the system is not a lease, it's a purchase and it is significantly less than the current wall system. Uh the system the CH

028system is used at the White House Department of Defense Pentagon several sporting stadiums throughout the country. It's very reliable system and not currently. >> Mr. Far, when does our lease end with >> Well, I'm being told one year. >> So, we have like a chance to kind of compare the two, which is kind of nice. We did. Um, currently the system that we're we're looking to purchase is dual power, right? Which means we're able to plug it in, but we're also utiliz I'm partial to that system simply because it gives you flexibility with where you put it, you know, indoor, outdoor, that sort of thing. Um, so the dual system is a little bit more money. Um, but it's still, I believe, half as much as the evolved system currently is now. So you're you're

029requesting that we overlap with the lease for one year both for a year and then let the lease expire over right eventually it's going to phase out and then with the amount of money you put towards the wall through these four years about 16 J assist so it's a significant reduction cost what's the buy in that lease >> if you don't They may be something we want to buy out for lunch and put these in. >> I believe >> it was no success. We were we're going to pay a lot out of pocket for that. But what we could do is exactly what Mr. Bar said have right now so that leases up, get rid of them, then look into purchasing more of the CHA system. >> So I I don't want to get backlash

030for what we do have. Cha is new. It just came out in September, correct? >> J. Yeah. Oh, no. Oh, no. It's been around. >> No, no, it's it's a sandwich company. Been around for a lot longer than >> Okay. Thank you. >> You had mentioned putting them in in the gym. Would this be something that the students would go through >> for graduation? >> Was it for graduation or just like daytoday entering the >> Well, it'd be both, right? But with graduation coming upon ush only having systems with two locations, four entries, that's going to make us overstaff one particular entrance, right? Without this system. Um, but for graduation this year, yes. What would it be for students, one system and the other system for parents and such? >> If this got approved today,

031how quickly would we be able to get these machines? So, uh, in order to get the system, um, delivered and installed and get everybody trained, I would need to provide a purchase order by tomorrow. How's the quality of the two systems? Are they pretty much equal? >> No. No. No. J is by far superior. >> That's all right there. and those the white. >> So that's impressive that those are there. Do we know of any other like schools that use these? Because it's a different environment. >> Eisenhower just bought them. >> Okay. And they >> Well, Eisenhower had them all and Eisenhower just >> Okay. >> How many machines was that? >> One machine. >> Just one machine. So the idea is to use one machine for the next year. >> Yes. >> It is

032portable. It is portable. Yes. So, just for clarification, we're only looking to purchase one to see right now to see if we do like it before we purchase for the rest of Did I understand that correctly? >> I I believe that's the way it was written. >> Thank you. >> Sorry. Are there any other questions? >> May I have a motion to approve the Chia weapons detection device proposal? Yes. >> Yes. >> Mr. >> Yes. >> McInness. >> Yes. Yes. >> Um the next item is the Cook County School District 130 for productivity plan. place the um annual productivity plan on the agenda for the board review. Um kind of summarize some of the key points so that we had a chance to review it. Um we reviewed our current staffing structures in relation to

033our student needs, safety expectations and operational demands across the district. We wanted to ensure that our staffing model remains responsive, sustainable, and aligned with the realities of what we're seeing in our schools today. Um, we have made observations, review trends with the program growth and any compliance requirements from developing this plan. And we uh divide it into three core principles or priorities which would relate to our our specialized student programming, student safety and supervision and operational efficiencies. Um so what we've noticed in the district what's changed is that our overall enrollment although it is starting to stabilize the needs of our students have become more complex and more intensive and we are seeing an increased demand in specialized programs particularly for students individualized instruction and supports. At the same time, the expectations around school safety,

034supervision, and operational oversight have increased significantly and these shifts have required us to recalibrate staffing to try to not expand unnecessarily, but to ensure that uh we're positioned to meet the demand. So, in the area of priority one, which is our specialized student programming, particularly our intensive communication program, we'd like to expand that. uh we have experienced notable growth in that particular um area particularly at the primary level. In addition to the increased enrollment, the diversity intensity of the C needs has expanded and adding that fifth ICP teacher allows for us to restructure into smaller more targeted instructional groups. Uh we believe this is critical for uh reducing um student to teacher ratios, increasing individualized instruction and maintaining fidelity around our program expectations. Sorry, the pair of professional support with the addition of two pair

035professionals ensures that each ICP classroom is staffed with two trained adults. Um we believe this is essential for um ensuring that There's a consistent implementation of the communication support, the behavioral interventions that we have in place, and student engagement throughout the day. The additional social worker would address our gaps at Anchor Academy, the ICP, and our early childhood program. Um, this is both uh programmatic and compliance driven. And we believe that that will also ensure timely delivery of mandated services, reduce for existing staff and being more responsive to the social emotional supports for students which we're seeing increasing for priority two which is student safety and supervision adding an assistant director of school safety um the safety expectations I said earlier have grown and so is the need for that leadership capacity this role supports

036that districtwide coordination of safety protocols e emergency preparedness and response and oversight for safety personnel and procedures. Additionally, safety liaison um that role has expanded significantly and they are very much now an integral part of our arrival and dismissal supervision, monitoring hightra areas, responding to realtime safety concerns and supporting deescalation and event investigations. Adding those three positions will ensure consistent coverage and reduce gaps in supervision. Crossing guards um increased traffic complexity and safety expectations are required. The additional coverage at key intersections um and this directly impacts student safety during the most vulnerable times of the day. The last area is the operational efficiency. The building automation systems manager our facil systems have become more advanced and data driven. This position will allow us to optimize the HVAC and building systems, improve our energy efficiency, and

037reduce long-term operational costs and then minimize our system downtime and emergency repairs. Um, this is both an operational and financial efficiency measure. In the instructional leadership alignment, the coordination structure adjustment. This would shift content specific coordination to a broader coordination of curriculum which reflects a more integrated instructional approach. This will ensure alignment across all subject areas, consistency in instructional practices and a cohesive approach to our curriculum development and implementation. Um the coordinator of athletics and activities. This role addresses the growing scope of the extracurricular programming uh to provide a centralized leadership, increase consistency across our schools and expand opportunities for student engagement. This will allow our building administrators to remain focused on instructional leadership. This time they're kind of doing a dual capacity with that. The financial considerations for this, the total estimated cost is

038approximately $78,111 annually, inclusive inclusive, excuse me, salary and benefits. This represents a targeted investment at a broad and each position is directly tied to student needs, safety requirements, and operational demands, which were part of what was addressed in November. The return on investment for the district will be improved student outcomes through more individualized and specialized supports, stronger safety infrastructure, and more consistent supervision across all buildings, increased operational efficiency and long-term cost management, and better alignment between staffing and actual district needs. Did any board members have questions on the productivity plan? >> Forward. >> Um, I fully support the ICP editions. Um, as a special ed teacher, I teach one class a day that is self-contained. only six kids and they're high functioning and I have an eight for six kids and I don't know how

039to do the power like I can now I can differentiate I can do groups activities if I didn't have her I probably couldn't have so I May I have a motion to approve the productivity plan? >> I'll second. >> We have a roll call, please. >> Um, Mus. >> Yes. >> Mur. >> Yes. Yes. >> Yes. >> Number item number seven isformational items. Yes. Um, next up is item number routine reports. Um, at this time I'll provide a president's report. I'd like to share some of the community comments that resonated with me in the last meeting that we had. There was maintain consistency and trust, stewardship, trust and ethical responsibility to taxpayers, clear communication with the community, creative positive experiences for our kids. These were all valuable points and things that I want from the

040school board as well. I care deeply about our communities and our schools. I also care deeply about creating and fostering the best possible learning environment for all. This I believe is achievable with the different experiences and perspectives that each board member offers. I also believe that it's important that the board consists of taxpayers and parents. Individuals without children and or without children in our schools anymore are not any less invested in our communities, schools, or our students. They simply have a different perspective. I sincerely hope that as a board we can continue to work together and find common ground for the benefit of our community, schools, and our students. I truly appreciate the questions that you have all posed over our time together and value your input as fellow board members. Thank you. Next up,

041the superintendent report. I invite superintendent. Tomorrow we're going to recognize our administrative professionals day and we extend our appreciation to our dedicated administrative staff across our schools and departments.

On Wednesday, May 20th, we are celebrating the accomplishments of our eighth grade students as they complete this important milestone and prepare to enter high school. Our graduation ceremonies will recognize the efforts of our students as well as the support provided by families and staff. Graduation ceremonies are going to be a little different this year. Um, two ceremonies will be at Nathan Hill Middle School and PERS ceremony will be at her. So on May 20th, um, Veterans Memorial Middle School will be at 3M at

043Nathan Hill Middle. We will send out communications. Uh, at 5:30, Nathan Middle School will go next. At 300 p.m. PER will honor their graduate at her.
