003is required to hold a public hearing on the question of dismissals there is a spot for each of our slps in the Staffing plan with slight adjustments in FTE and building location and regarding the PBS's each school will have one less position next year so they will all be Rift and have the opportunity to reapply um as they are not evaluated and do not have seniority rights this is the fairest solution are there any questions for Dr Georgia regarding the reduction in force may I have a motion to adjourn the public hearing for reduction in Workforce so moved may I have a second second may I have a v vote please all are in favor say yes yes yes I I will now call back to order the Reg meeting of the City of Lake
004Forest School District 67 Board of Education meeting for March 18th 2025 may I have a roll call please Mrs Bernal here Mrs shohan here Mr Ado here Mr carar here miss Yan here miss Engelberg here Mr Remis here motion carries for the president's report tonight I wanted to touch on an issue we're going to hear more about a little bit later and I don't want to steal the Thunder of Dr Hermes and Mr Mortenson but uh the topic is um what it takes to keep this District running the infrastructure the maintenance of the schools the maintenance of the buildings um it's a substantial investment that this community makes and I want to provide the board perspective on that which is the financial planning that it takes to account for um all of these important issues
005is of critical importance to the board in term including long-term planning um the board doesn't want surprises the administration doesn't want surprises the community doesn't want surprises when it comes to spending and so um the administration um has spent a lot of time um analyzing the buildings investigating what it takes to maintain them expenditures over the next 10 years um and the substantial Investments it's going to take to maintain them um in very unex exting but very necessary ways such as repairing roofs repairing HVAC maintaining all the Mechanicals that takes a lot of money um and that money has to come somewhere and so um we have taken very seriously Our obligation to be financially prudent um and plan ahead and what do the next 10 years look like how much is it going to
006cost and where that is that money going to come from so that is something that the board in cooperation with the Administration has spent a lot of time talking about over the past year we're going to hear more about it uh later um but I did want to provide that perspective from the board in terms of some of the work that we've been doing and and how important it is for us to get that financial obligation that Financial stewardship right so with that I will turn it over to Dr Montgomery for the superintendent report thank you Mr Remis uh these three youngsters that are on the screen right now are some Everett students who uh are demonstrating or sharing their islands that they created with palm trees and sand and as we quickly embark on
007the spring Break season later in this week I think it's just wonderful that they are they are ready and ahead of schedule um ready for those palm trees that some of us will be seeing tonight's report covers several topics I promise that I will move through them quickly but there's a lot of great things to share uh about what's happening in ' 67 the first one is something that happened as recent as last night where Lake Forest High School choir performed a special song where do the colors go during the Spring Concert it was inspired by a story written by Sheridan kindergarten kindergartner Lily odog in honor of her big sister Sheridan first grader Anna Anna is seven years old and was diagnosed with dra syndrome a rare form of EP epilepsy as a baby
008through the sing me a story foundation Lily's story was transformed into a musical number the performance and the OD log family story were featured in a live report on FOX 32 news last night and I would recommend watching the story and as you hear about some of the stories about uh what public education is going through right now to have a positive story about our districts is certainly something that um I was grateful for and it's wonderful that we could support and honor this family last week students at DPM performed their spring musical which is frozen Jr it included all of those hit songs that made the song or the movie popular um both in the film and on Broadway and our students shined on stage we also had a spirit of 67 Grant where
009Liz Hera visited Cherokee Sheridan and Everett last week where Liz shared about her Emmy awardwinning um uh performances as a Sesame Street Puppeteer um she's also part of the creative team she taught all of the students about the different types of puppetry um and allowed them to help out as needed I'm excited to share that we have uh found a replacement um as M keer has moving on uh in her role of director of teaching uh to take a more active role at home supporting her own young uh students uh and the search was quite comprehensive there are many different steps and I want to thank both Dr Georgia and Dr Fitz Simmons for their leadership in this uh we had 80 qualified applicants pursue this opportunity which is a testament to the quality and
010the Excellence that this District represents across the not only nor the NorthShore but the um State RIT large and I am pleased to recommend Dr Andrew Fenton um for this role starting July 1st Dr Fenton currently serves as a principal in winetka public school 36 he was selected from this highly competitive tool or pool forgive me and he stood out for his collaborative spirit and ability to work closely with Educators to implement INF Innovative curriculum across all content areas and grade levels Dr Fenton holds a Bachelor of Arts and Elementary education from our own Lake Forest College a master's in educational leadership from Concordia and a doctorate in educational leadership from Western Illinois University uh we are going to be introducing Dr Fenton to you at the April board meeting um but we are excited
011to formalize our relationship tonight in the HR report this morning it has been a worldwind of a a week and a half this morning thanks to Dr Kavanagh we welcome the community for our Cherokee learning walk remember these are uh uh opportunities that we have created for the community to come see classrooms in action during the school day and we were able to see the flexible learning spaces the new science lab along with classrooms we ended the experience with a Q&A from leaders coaches and teachers and even students we had Charlie Juliana and Aaron uh one second grader two fourth graders and they were um on the panel offering their insights we also had Jen Miles Anna Freeland Jamie SM and Jamie smart on the panel as representation from the U faculty I will tell
012you that each one of these learning walks any opportunity you get to spend time in a classroom when it's active is exciting um but I will tell you Cherokee uh knocked it out of the park this morning and you would be proud of the work that's being done there um and the cheetah um were um certainly excited to see all of us these two here that I sat with uh and they were reading um taking turns reading a book and I asked them if I could read a page and they were kind of cautious at first but then uh let me play along and we had a good time and I'm glad that um I got to spend some time with them update on Cherokee with the principal search as you know Dr Kavanaugh accepted
013a position um in a nearby district and we're happy for her and want to wish her the very best and thank her for her service um being a part of the district for I can't remember the year uh 10 years maybe 13 years uh so forgive me for not having that very long time uh serving the district 67 families uh her search or this uh process for her position has begun the focus groups have wrapped up and we were able to with the help of Dr Fitz Simmons uh do a family and staff survey we had U multiple opportunities both online and in person for parents uh to engage multiple opportunities for faculty to engage as well as a student focus focus group we are hoping to have stakeholder interviews on April 14th and a
014recommendation for you to the April board meeting uh please I will allow for some flexibility as we go through the process if I need more time um I will certainly be in touch with all of you to tell you how that's fluctuating but the goal is to have the next principal selected by our April 22nd meeting I want to take a moment also to celebrate that Moody reaffirmed our AAA Bond rating two weeks ago I believe and you will hear more about that uh when Jen and Dan present but that is a testament to the Excellence of financial stability that these districts have I say these districts because 115 is also uh AAA rated as well as 65 uh Lake Bluff there are only 75 on average districts that are AAA in the country so
015this is certainly a badge of honor that we work hard to maintain and we're also um exceptionally beneficial or we reap the benefit of a um incredible Community uh that we're a part of we sent a team to try a new initiative which is the Consortium for interd district collaboration cic uh where we have six districts engaging in instructional rounds uh it is a experience or a model that we stole from a different state actually New York and the idea is that um you have teams of districts visiting each one of the participating districts at one point in the school year uh this year we were at 109 and uh 70 is also coming up this spring I don't know that we're participating in 70 just because the amount of days it requires for our
016staff to be out of District but the idea is that the district that we're visiting comes up with something they're working on um in in um 109 I think it was U student autonomy so we were looking for through site visits um artifacts of what they collected to support their initiative and then what was happening in the actual classroom and then the team of districts that were visiting shared back with 109 of what what they saw and what they learned it's almost like our learning walks but in a different district with Educators doing the actual walks uh we have uh we will likely sign up for next year for a team of people to come here to work on whatever problem practice we decide I think it just it really increases the level of collegiality
017among the districts and the Partnerships and more eyes on what's actually happening from train professionals so we can grow um as a team a 70s Liberty Bill uh we were at Deerfield uh two weeks ago last week last week forgive me Wednesday Thursday Friday uh a quick celebration uh the National Conference was two weeks ago um and I'm most fortunate and I'm counting my blessings that I had the opportunity to do I think five presentations during the week U my head was spinning just a little bit the last one was the one that uh perhaps was the one I was most nervous about which was a a conversation between myself and a Harvard Professor around the topic of navigating difficult conversations which seems like something that we all need the skill set to do um
018in this increasingly polarized world that we are living in I was thrilled to have the opportunity and um the uh Professor um whose name is he would offer the research standpoint and then I would offer the practitioner standpoint and went back and forth in the conversation and it was um a great experience to have those conversations with somebody who is leading the work in the country uh on April 3D our commitment to Bringing experts to our families um continues with uh Doug Bolton coming to talk about his new book that was just released I think earlier today and it is a available not only at the library but at the lake forest bookstore and he is going to be talking to us about the role of interconnected communities in guiding children towards a healthier more
019resilient future the conversation of uh we have students for six hours and there's 18 hours that they are not with us either in extracurriculars or at home and the power of the community supporting young people to help them grow and be successful is reaffirmed with Doug's research and I hope you join me for that event last week I told you it was a busy couple weeks uh Ellen galinsky was hosted with in partnership with the AP and I had the opportunity to interview ell Ellen on her recent book uh the Breakthrough years it was exceptionally well attended and I think that anytime you get a chance to visit with Ellen glinsky you grow as a human and uh it was well received from our AP community that were present and I was grateful for her
020she actually spent time with one of our students the night before uh kind of getting some perspective on what it's like to be a student in Lake Forest and I thought that it was wonderful how she integrated in those themes that she heard from the student and how transferable was to other student experiences community outreach continues to be a priority uh in the last month we had the Lake Forest Lake Bluff Chamber of Commerce real breakfast we had lfhs 101 that Dr lonard and her team led I spent time I do an annual presentation to the ministerium which are the local Pastors in the communities and talk about what's happening in the schools and answer questions that they have uh we are doing our annual presentation to Lake Forest Place uh on April 4th uh
021so we continue to go out into the community or invite the community in so we can make sure that our community knows all the wonderful things that are happening in these districts spring break begins on March 22nd this is very unlik for like but I would like to remind you even though the Montgomery are going to be guilty of this that there is school on Friday uh in 67 1:5 there is not uh School in session um we have a very fluid um last week before school in Lake Forest so just know that if you're confused and you want to know if we have when we have school Friday is open for 67 close for 115 I hope you have a wonderful Spring Break um and this is a a Sheridan student just showing us
022what we need to do when we're relaxing next week either at the beach Europe or here in beautiful Lake Forest uh just chilling out thank you and that concludes my res uh report any questions for Dr Montgomery no at this point in the evening's agenda this opportunity for public comment will be limited to comments about this meeting's agenda items only please hold all other comments until the following opportunity for public comment later during tonight's meeting are there any members of the public who would like to address the board seeing none we will move on to the next agenda item which is the health and life safety and 10-year Plan update um and I'll turn it over to Dr Hermes and Mr mortensson I am going to in thank you so much will you um Advance
023one slide for me I'm so sorry my mind just stopped after I was finished my with the report so the agenda tonight are um really to give an update on where we are with the life and health uh safety survey talk about the capital Improvement plan uh hone in on the most um the upcoming project that I'm exceptionally excited about that's been multiple years in the making around the Deer Path cafeteria in we got a jump leg up with the help of the spirit funding that uh was one of the action items tonight and then ultimately next steps I want to celebrate Dan and Jen because there are many buildings in 67 when you have three elementaries and Deer Path divided in half there's a lot of square footage to upkeep and when you look
024at a plan over the next 10 years to address the many needs of those buildings um it is something that is not a quick process but exceptionally powerful process to make sure that we know what is on the horizon and um I'm confident that you will um as a community right now the board members have heard most of this but we want to make sure that we are educating the community on everything that has happened and what is on the immediate Horizon all right good evening everyone um so as far as our health life survey goes so we engage with our uh Perkin of will architect a record last year to conduct our health Life Safety in District 67 it's required every 10 years in all public schools in state of Illinois um our architect
025or engineer um has to perform all of the work uh regarding health Life Safety Code currently and what we're in 180 that that code keeps creeping up 160 170 180 so this is the most current that we're under right now um and when they go through this process uh there's three different categories if you look at the sheets that I provided you in your folder there's um I wanted to give you a draft version of what's currently submitted to uh the regional office education approved through the regional office education um it's sitting in in in with ISB right now but when you look on there you'll see a and C under um the schedule of the violation so the a is the Urgent has to be completed within one year the required is B five
026years and under recommended uh we can address it as as we deem it appropriate there's no timeline to it and that is listed as C in your the paperwork that I provided um the capital Improvement plan portion of it which I'm really excited about this is going to be our road map for the district as we look forward as as as Mark spoke about earlier um what do we need to do to plan for upkeeping our buildings just like you would at your home um we have to plan for our hvc Electrical Plumbing fire protection um Windows Doors lighting sidewalks parking lots coing uh building envelope we drive by many of our buildings you can see that the outside of them definitely needs a refresher so that's that's when we talk about the building envelope
027we talk about that the windows masoner uh sighting Etc um and then any plan Renovations that we talked about um uh D DPM cafeteria we'll touch on again in a minute uh toilet rooms districtwide many of our toilet rooms have not been updated for many years in all on all four of our buildings and then also the additions at ever and shared and U if we think back a couple years ago when we talked about Cherokee and we put the addition on at Cherokee for our flexible learning spaces um the board had us take a look at what can we do at ever and Sheridan to provide that same type of space um so we did that uh we do have the ability to do it and those are projects um that again that we
028have on the long range plan here to to to see where they would uh kind of fit in and then the accessibility uh assessment is the third part of what our architect is looking at so our accessibility and our facilities uh were covered uh we under the guidance of the American Disability the Ada um checklist and we also look at the Illinois accessibility code so we balance between those two to find uh the most safe and you know inviting building for our buildings so we don't we remove all those barriers that anyone would have coming in any of any of our facilities um so on the Deer Path cafeteria uh which is actually going to really kick off June 9th with the heavy work but we're going to start a little bit of work next
029week over over spring break we have some flooring that needs to be uh removed in our Hub area currently the tech uh office is in there as well and um it's on the east side for those of you are familiar with the area it's on the east side of the cafeteria um so we're going to go in there we're going to remove a flooring um we're just trying to get a jump the schedule is really tight from June 9th through that middle of August to turn everything over so we feel by grabbing this week of spring break getting that out of the way when the contractors come in to start start the demolition we can just uh move forward and we can get 20 contractors instead just one contractor moving the flooring so we're excited
030about that work next week um our project scope is our punch through windows in the serving line where the kids queue up now I think if you we we'll we have some renderings here in a minute you can take a look at but that's exciting kind of right now it's really tight in there for the for the kids when they're in line this is going to open it up for the outside you can see in a little bit into the kitchen new ceilings uh the sing SLE stall restrooms again that are adjacent to that Hub area are going to get a refresh there's two current single stalls there right now that are uh again very uh aged so those are going to get a refresh it's kind of the finishes in there Etc will be
031something that we're going to look at when we talk about doing the restrooms in the rest of the district kind of take a look at what we did here do you like it what don't you like and then we'll move forward again with kind of carrying that through throughout the rest of the district uh and then also another big Improvement in the hub area right now we just have a single 36 in door wood door that goes into there we're going to open that wall up that adjoins the Hub to the cafeteria it'll be a glass wall movable so we can open that up and then we also have a line of sight for supervision during lunch or any other activities that students might have in there before after school Etc so that's another uh
032big Improvement I think it's going to really change the look and the feel and actually the use of the space be a lot more useful for many users um for those of you that do have students in this in some of your kiddos the summer might be going to our Parks program in the gym we have all three gyms that are used by the parks department they usually typically drop off in the back go through the cafeteria and then into the gyms and then they the parks department also uses the cafeteria for some of their not gym related programs eating lunch Etc so we've already talked to parks department everybody um will enter through the north side of the building and we have some of the joining classrooms that they can conduct some of the
033other business in as well so uh we feel we have that covered and if we have to accommodate again we have plenty of space in the building over the summer and then phase c um which would we are currently just starting discussions on what that phase is going to look like that'll take place in the summer of 26 um it'll be the entire south facing glass storefront that currently faces the patio that's single pane glass original to the facility so it's extremely inefficient and uh we have we're having some failing issues with clock Etc like that so it just it needs a full replacement uh that'll be included in scope of work and then there's a there's a set of multi-user restrooms that are adjacent to the cafeteria as well that we're going to put
034into that project again that'll help us you know determine what we're going to do going forward with fixtures and finishes Etc uh looking at the rest of the district and then also some potential kitchen upgrades and equipment we have some of some aging equipment in the kitchen as well um we want to have a great space and have have all these new uh amenities but we got to make sure that we have the backbone to feed them and cool it freeze it and all that stuff with the food so um excited to talk about that and this is just a little Refresh on what that rening looks like again we're getting close to start a project um let kind of keep that fire burning as far as the excitement goes um that's a rendering of
035our of our um the what are we calling that a graph what's the term I'm missing here Melissa on the graphic wall um branding a brand branding wall and then um of course the you can kind of see the punch through in the CAF in the cafeteria serving line there kind of opens that up it really uh is going to change the look and feel of the space again and then we have one more of the Hub area so this is that area that's on the east side of the building you'll see the exterior windows on the right and then that new glass movable openable partition wall that faces into the cafeteria on that side of the facility and then directly on that teal wall that's going to be a uh uh some glazing that
036looks into the new grab Ando I believe we're calling it gen grab and grow area for students I don't think we've really put a put a name on it yeah just going to be another opportunity for students to give different choices of food in that current area that where the tech or the tech office is right now uh it's got a fun ceiling in there and some fun colors so it's going to be uh again a really defined great space for us for for for many uses and Jen's gonna talk a little bit about how we're gonna fund this all right thank you so um and thank you Mr Remis for the great intro earlier in the uh president's report so District 67 does use a three- tiered funding approach to our projects it's a
037it's a little different than perhaps what you've seen with neighboring districts um but fundamentally that's to avoid the need for a referendum um so I'm going to basically just hit on each of these three um each of these tiers and go into them in a little bit more detail I'm stopping a little bit heavier on the daa because that is the one that the board will be voting on later tonight but briefly a DB um is a Debt Service extension base um it has no impact on our oper op ating funds because it is bonded debt and that is Boe approved so the board does take action on that every time um that the district wants to extend that particular type of debt the school uh fire protection and safety bonds those also have no
038impact on operating funds that is a new um opportunity that was recent legislation that was passed in the spring of 24 um again that is also bonded debt it's covered by a tax extension so it does hit the tax roles it's very very specific specific and limited categories which is why it requires a not only a board of education approval um process but a regional office approval and an ISB approval on very specific life safety amendments in which it can be used so we are uh partially through that process but as we um talk we'll talk about later we're still waiting for the final approval of our life safety amendments and we'll need to wait on that final resolution before we could proceed with any bonding related to this um and finally we'll talk briefly
039about fund using our own fund balance and our operating funds and any operational debt so The Debt Service extension base and this is the source of funds that we are using for the DPM cafeteria renovation and other capital projects that will be prioritized as we move through the next few years um as also mentioned we were Moody reaffirmed um for this AAA Bond rating U AAA rating um that also rated our bonds um so that when we went to Market that the um those that might be interested in purchasing our bonds knew that this was highly rated debt um that action is on the board agenda which will confirm a working cash bond that would close on April 2nd the Allin interest cost uh we did have high bids on that we had six biders
040that were interested that was a 3.58 7% um net proceeds would be just uh just under 5 million at 4781 n and that is a 10-year lifespan um the um the school fire protection and safety bonds that I mentioned earlier the those funds uh once we do have those uh ISB approvals fundamentally we would primarily be using those to fund ring um we do need ring Replacements and those are outlined in the draft um documents that Mr Mortenson provided at your table today at all four of our buildings so this is a fine way to invest in them um we're asking you that you table that resolution tonight pending the fin approval from from is um that would be a $10 million Bond over the course of 10 years obviously the lifespan of a roof
041is well over 10 years so a good investment and finally this is um this is something I think 67 has done very well over um the past couple of decades which is really to look at the internal operation and fund balance and how we can grow and then draw down that over the course of time to invest in our own buildings um it's utilizing not only reductions in growth but also looking at operational debt out of our own funds sort of like a home equity if you were to compare that to your your own home financing um to how we could do that with within our own Revenue stream so that takes a lot of prioritization because there's a lot of worthy um um things that we could invest in I mean from from teachers
042and um programs and lots of lots of things that we could we can put our resources to so we need to make really important um decisions regarding prioritization and this board will be involved very much so as we go through this process over the next six months to a year as we continue to refine and plan um in conjunction with our five-year projection and the final Capital plan um and our hls the health and life safety surveys so that does roll into our next steps we will receive those final reports from Perkinson will um the ISB approved there could be tweaks from what we've submitted already um they do have the right to ask questions and ask our Architects questions and make adjustments so we'll have those final approved amendments we will have that final
043accessibility assessment and then the finalized 10-year Capital Improvement plan um we will ask you at a later meeting to approve the resolution um for those Life Safety bonds and then as I mentioned we will continue to plan and prioritize the capital projects at the next finance and Ops committee meeting which will be in April we will review The Five-Year projection um and the um these plans do we have an estimate on when ISB is going to get back to us on the the review of the plan I did hear that there is one gentleman that reviews the plans and I heard he has about 50 projects sitting on his desk so he is a very busy young man um we did call and ask for a status update to date we have not received a
044call back I am hopeful that it will be prior to April 22nd but at the same time we are acknowledging we have no control over that and it sounds as if they are overwhelmed with requests any questions from the board for Dr Gomez or Mr Mortenson thank you very much for the the presentation and all your prior presentations your hard work over the past year and then some has been extremely helpful and I know you've received a lot of support from Perkinson well as they've come in and presented to us as well and the level of detail in minutia is incredible so I appreciate the way you guys distilled it down for this evening thank you all right we'll move on to Liaison reports uh Mr Ado do we have a report for TR North
045I do not have a report for you uh spirit of 67 Megan no um I'll mention something quite make it on the agenda but on the legislative front two things to note and both are um in all likelihood far off on the horizon but worth noting as possibly having an impact on us um one it has made the headlines in most of the major Publications and that is Governor pritzker's advocating um some form of legislation affecting cell phone use in schools so we'll continue to monitor that we already have cell phone policies for our schools um but we'll still monitor that and make any adjustments as necessary and I'll keep the board informed um there's also some proposed legislation that is still making its way through and it's not clear if it's going to go
046anywhere but it's legislation touching on the use of Native American names and imagery um we'll continue to monitor that um whether or not it has any potential impact on District 67 if there's any developments I will let the board know we're going to move on to the action items for tonight's meeting um action item number one approval of Olen transportation for regular Transportation July 1 2025 through June 30th 2030 may I have a motion to approve the transportation bid so moved may I have a second second any discussion may have a roll call vote please Mrs shohan yes Mr Remis yes Mr car I miss Engelberg yes Mr Adamo yes Miss Yan yes Mrs Bernal I motion carries moving to the second item may I have a motion to approve the 2025 2026 administrative compensation
