Tonight we have the really distinct honor of getting to honor our comfort dogs. Uh and they are here with us this evening. Uh Lutheran Church Charities has been
003an enormous support for our school district students and staff in times of great loss such as the loss of a student or a staff member. The LCC K9 comfort dogs division connects us with comfort dogs and their handlers as we invite them into our schools during times of grief and mourning. Often called on at last minute notice, these dogs and handlers arrive immediately to our buildings to provide essential care and comfort to our students and staff. After every incident, staff always reflect on the key role the dogs play in our healing process. Thank you to LCC K9 Comfort Dogs for your service and support of Belvadier School District 100. Thank you so much. Uh we have Mary and Gary Sullivan, Shadri and Jeff Suzuki, Melissa Weiss, Samson and Denise Anderson, Abdenego, and Sherry Blazic. Thank
004you. Thank you for what you do. Uh I want to give a shout out to Dr. Johnson as well, uh, who works with LCC to or LLC or LCC to coordinate these, uh, dogs as well.

007>> Thank you for doing what you guys do. Appreciate that. >> Okay. >> Well, you guys are allowed to leave even though we don't want you to. >> Uh you may you may head out. And we have one more uh recognition this evening and that's for Kayla Clinic from buildings and grounds. Kayla has consistently shown the ability and willingness to go above and beyond in support of us in the maintenance department. Whether it is assisting in ordering parts or the tools we need or help with troubleshooting access control issues, we can always count on Kayla to come through for us. Her quick responses to any needs or questions make a huge impact on our ability to address issues within the district. Thank you, Kayla. And thank you, Kayla. Thank you. Absolutely. >> And now it's
008back to you, Mr. Herrera. >> All right. Um, at this time I would like to invite any board members who have anything or anyone they would like to highlight or give a shout out to. >> Um, I would just like to um mention uh that we had uh our board retreat about four weeks ago and Patrick Allen from MySp came and facilitated that night. I thought he did a really nice job um of doing that and I thought we had an excellent retreat as a group. So, I want to recognize him and our fellow board members. >> Yeah. And to piggyback on um what Mr. Mr. Dies Meyer was saying, um I I'm really glad that we were able to have the board retreat and and all of us were there. all of us were
009there to participate actively engaged in this um session and hopefully we'll have more to come um because I uh you know we can always learn more when we come out of these and there's more sessions um that IB offers um that you know can always help us to to do a better be a better board member as well. So, uh, again, I was excited about the energy, uh, and the engagement from all our our fellow board members there, and I think Patrick, um, Allen did a great job facilitating us that evening. I spent some time in the, uh, school district, uh, booth at the, uh, Boone County Fair, and I got to spend a lot of time with, uh, Beth Martini from Lincoln. I spent two hours with her, and I walked away pretty impressed
010with her. She gave me a lot of things to think about. She's funny. She's smart. So, she's a really good one. And she left a really big impression on me. So, if we weren't talking to the people visiting us, it was me and her just going back and forth. So, that was a really good time with her. >> And then and then Casey um gave me a tour central middle school. So, I was able to walk the grounds, walk the school, and see what they're doing over there and using what they using what they have. I know they said that space is kind of an issue, but they're using what they have over there. And so it was really great meeting the staff and talking to her and seeing that school. >> Thank you, Germaine.
011>> Um, shout out to the um committee and all those involved with our new rebranding. >> It's good to see that out there at the fair and the swag and everything else. The calendars, the magnetic calendars we had that um made it to the fair. We're glad everybody was able to get one when they appeared. So, um, but nice job. It looks great um on on stationary. It looks great on the swag. It looks great um even now that we're looking at it here on some of our screens as well. So, good job to everybody involved. I know there were several options and um I think everybody did a nice job getting to where we're at with that. So, >> thank you. >> Yeah, >> shout out to Jeanie, right? >> Janine, sorry. >> Getting
012all the stuff. She worked a miracle for the fair. Yeah, >> she was in She was in the fair booth with us. So, she was in there just like we were >> very hot. >> Thank you for being there with us. >> Trying to get and out. >> She was there on Friday writing her board updates and her shout outs. >> Yeah, she was there with us too on Tuesday. She lived out there. Yeah. Any other um shout outs? Anything you want to highlight? Okay. We will now have our board committee report starting with the business services on August 4th. Mrs. Hul or Mr. Hempy, do you have anything you would like to highlight or share from the business services committee minutes? Um let me see here. We had a good good interaction with um
013what's the name of the company? >> Oh, uh Nania. >> Nania. Yeah. And um time is kind of running out to take advantage of some of the incentives and to get on board with getting making solar a a viable thing that will save us money. So, um, their next step is to really come up with some proposals for how we can get on get on that train and they'll bring them to the next business services meeting. So, we look forward to seeing that. No real opportunities to put anything on on site in the in the district just due to space and but uh yeah, it's good it's good to have them doing that. due diligence for us. >> Okay. Any questions for Mr. Hempy or Mrs. H? >> Okay. See on educational services on August
0146th. Uh Mr. Dmile, do you have anything you want to or would you like to highlight or share from the educational services committee minutes? >> Uh we got a good update on the scorecards. Dr. Johnson took us through that. Dr. Carson. Um Frank uh told us about the updates to the handbook and um everything's in there including uh the new cell phone policy. So that's all all updated and ready to go. Um got a really nice report on summer school and uh for the first time summer school went back to normal postco and it looks like the kids had a really good time and it was very productive. So it was it was great to see. >> Thank you, Mr. Diesel Meyer. Does anybody have any questions for Mr. Diesel or Dr. Carson or Dr.
015Johnson? >> The other one probably was the um the rubrics on the trauma-informed schools. That's going to be a big one to deal with. So coming along nicely. >> Yes, it's exciting. We moved up a level in a good way. >> Yeah. So, >> okay. Um, polus, I'm sorry, policy and personnel on August 14th. Mrs. Yunk or Mr. Piggy, do you have anything you would like to highlight or share from the policy and personnel committee minutes? >> I would just say we're spending some time reviewing. So, every 5 years each policy has to be reviewed to make sure if there's any changes or not. And so, we've covered quite a few policies already. I think as a district we're doing really well. >> Thank you. >> As a new board member, it gives her and
016I a chance to actually explore the policies and see what's see what's there. So, it's been cool going through the policies and just reviewing everything. >> Does anyone have any questions for Mrs. Young or Mr. Peggy or Dr. Shug? >> Okay. At this time, members of the public and employees of district 100 may make public comments. As a reminder, any person appearing before the board is expected to address the board only at the appropriate time and follow the directive directives of the board president to maintain order and decorum. Identify oneself, limit comments to three minutes, conduct oneself with respect towards others, and abide by board policy 8 col 30. visitors to and conduct on school property. At this time, I'd like to welcome up Wendy Taylor. >> Hello. So, you really need that. Mhm. >>
017Um I was not here for the last two months because um I was doing Starlight Theater and it happened to run the exact weeks of our schoolboard meetings, but of course I did watch the meetings later. Good evening members of the board. Last fall, this body called members of this body called our low math scores a math emergency, math crisis, if you will. It was a sobering moment for all of us. And while that label was a blow, a feeling of being told we were failing, we didn't take it as a final judgment. We took it as a call to action because our frustration with these scores is deeper and more personal than anyone else's. We are the ones who are in the classroom every day, and we know these scores don't reflect the potential
018of our students or the incredible work being done in our buildings. It is frustrating and frankly demoralizing to be scolded by community members who may not be aware of our efforts. It's even more disheartening to hear it from former board members who know we've been giving this per we've been giving periodic reports on this very topic for years. We are not content with failure. We have been moving mountains to address this challenge. For years, we have been working to improve outcomes. Our elementary and middle school teachers have made a real push to use our current curriculum with fidelity ensuring every student gets strong consistent foundation. Teachers at all grade levels are implementing new strategies from programs like building thinking classrooms to foster deep problem solving skills. A paradigm shift I never thought I would make
019in the last few years of my career. And it is amazing. And at the high school level, we are actively reviewing the curriculum, not just to boost test scores, but to make math relevant to all students through crosscurricular courses with our CTE department. This is a constant and difficult balancing act, preparing students for standardized testing while also preparing them for life. I have spent my time as the math content leader challenging the district to put their money where their math is and I am proud to say they have been doing exactly that. They have supported our initiatives and given us the tools we need to succeed and tonight you will be voting on one such program. Soon the new state report card will be released and with it new guidelines. Our high schools have also
020made a significant shift to the ACT with little notice I can say which will make direct comparisons to the past difficult. But despite these challenges, I suspect you will see an increase in the percentage of students who are considered proficient. This is my last time speaking to you in the capacity as math content leader. But as a final harrah, I accepted an invitation from the state this year to be part of the committee that made those cut scores. And what I can tell you without divulging any specifics is that this was not just lowering the bar as many headlines have said it is at the high school level, we're again comparing apples and oranges. And what I can say is that the struggles facing our district are universal. We were with schools from all across
021the state. Educators everywhere are fighting the same battle to improve scores and find relevance for students and build community support. So I beg of you and to anyone in our community, if anyone is willing to dig into the data and throw our struggles out to the public, I urge them also to dig deeper and research what we are already doing to make improvements instead of assuming that we are content with failure. >> Thank you, Mrs. Taylor. Appreciate that. Is there anyone else that would like to address the board at this time? Okay. Next on the agenda is our I'm sorry. Next on the agenda is our consent agenda. Are there any items on the consent agenda any members of the board would like to take up for separate consideration? So, this covers the personnel report.

Member Hempy seconded the motion to approve the ACT practice test and teacher training as presented. Discussion. Uh we talked about this in the ED services meeting as well. Um and this sounds like a a really solid plan to help improve test scores. Uh these tools
030give really good feedback to the students, help them understand where they uh if they miss something on practice tests, where they need to uh study and improve. And um I think everyone feels like this is going to be a good step forward. >> In addition to the practice test, it has um as you may explained, uh it gives a lot of feedback to the staff where they can really analyze how the kids did. And then the training is to help provide our teachers uh with some deeper familiarity with the ACT. As was explained during public comment, we switched last year from SAT back to ACT. And so, uh, we just want to make sure that our teachers feel well informed and can respond to our students to help them, uh, prepared to do their best
031on the real test when it comes in in the spring. Okay. Any discussion, comments, questions? Okay. Hear none. Roll call, please. >> Mr. Diesel. Hi. Mr. Hky. Hi. Mr. Piggy. Hi. Mrs. How Mrs. Young. Hi, >> Mr. Herrera. Hi. Okay. Do I have a motion in a second to approve the use of mental health screen MOA with Maro and West 4 as presented? >> I'll make the motion. >> Okay. >> Second. >> Okay. Member Yn made the motion and member Hul seconded the motion to approve the mental health screener MOA with Mro and West for as presented. Discussion. >> Dr. Johnson, do you want to highlight uh what this is regarding for anyone who wasn't perhaps able to hear about that at ED services? >> Sounds good. Yes. Um the state has been moving towards
032uh universal screening for mental health. So where we've been doing what we call universal screening for academics since about 2008. Uh this is now catching up on the mental health side. Um and it's really looking at um students are at risk for anxiety, depression and suicide ideiation. Um so we connected with West 40 and they are using um Marorrow um as a mental health screener and um what they proposed because they have additional grant funds that they need to exhaust this year um is that we could utilize some of the screeners to some capacity um at no cost. So really this gives us the opportunity um to utilize their platform um and have us decide whether this is something that we want to look at other platforms uh whether this one is doing uh what
033we were hoping for out of it. Um so we this is really just the agreement with them. Um but we actually don't have to do it. So once we start to dive deeper with our high school teams and our counselors and all of that and they take a look at it, there's something that pops up that we're not feeling right about. Um by signing this does not mean that we have to screen the students. Um one thing we have done for many years is um the schools participate in what's called Alyssa's mission. It's all ninth graders. It's a week-long suicide prevention week. um they do it year-over-year. Um there's a screener that they have utilized um with that um and then they're able to connect students to resources, have conversations with families, parents, and so
034forth. Um the schools have communicated that after that they really don't have um a screening method especially for students that are internalizers um in that 10th 11th and and 12th grade years unless a student comes forward themselves or a parent comes forward or a student's exhibiting um like outward um behaviors. So, long and short, this is a really um exciting opportunity for us to explore a screener at no cost, but this came up at a time in the summer when we don't have all of our staff there. So, the high school group really wants to get in and look at this in September and October um and maybe decide a population that makes sense to just do some initial um trial with this and connect students to what they need. This would then come back
035to ed services um if there is an interest in actually rolling this out in the future. But this allows us to uh play around in the platform at no cost. >> Thank you. >> A screener is a is what a person a software application. >> It would be something that they would participate on online that would ask them questions. um they already do that in different capacities. We have students providing us feedback on um some of their own social emotional learning. They provide us feedback on the school environment. Um things along those lines. This one would be more specific and personal. It's a screener, so it really only takes a couple of minutes. um similar to what you um if you have kids and you've been in doctor's offices lately when they ask if you've
036been feeling blue for an extended period of time. Uh some of those styles of questions that we're starting to get in pediatricians offices and things like that would be what this would would ask of the students. Uh based off of that, then the teams at the high schools would be able to respond and connect them to some of the resources that we have and also be able to have conversations um with their families. Um and any uh parent and and student as well could say, I I don't want to participate in this. So there's there's always that option as well. they can opt out of actually doing filling out the screening or opt out after the screening has indicated they could use some >> Yeah, great question. So, they could say I don't I mean
037even the day of a student could be like >> I'm not doing this right. Um at the same time afterward um if I took the screeners there were some concerns that popped up um I could say nope I don't want to participate in the things that you have to offer. Um, but usually the schools do a great job doing due diligence with that. In general, like if you notice a student that's been really down in class that typically isn't some form of behavioral change, we have counselors, um, social workers, psyches, our whole student services team do a really good job checking in on kids all the time anyways. So, our practices are there. This would just be the beginning steps towards um, screening our high school students, our middle schools. um are interested in seeing
038what this looks like um as well. Um but for this case, this is really just looking at an opportunity for our high schools to take a look at it. >> So, we're just approving basically a free pilot, >> the ability to free pilot it on a subset of our high school population. >> Yes. >> Okay. >> How do the schools seek out the students for a program like this? So, ideally, if we're talking a few years ahead of time, a screener would be done universally, meaning with with all students. Um, in this type of case, we would probably select whether it be a grade or certain classes just to kind of see like in a pilot style format, you're just kind of seeing, okay, what what does it look like? How many students is this?
039What would we respond? Um, things along those lines. Um, but typically in in our schools, whether it be through a screener or other methods, when we find that a student's been struggling, the high school, lots of times it's it's a conversation with with a trusted adult, usually someone from our student services team, but a lot of our teaching staff sit right down with students too as well and say, "Hey, I've noticed usually you're outgoing, usually your homework's in, and I haven't heard from you in like 3 days," type of thing. Um there's channels that they work through for support. Um we have support for families that we can recommend. Um and then you all had approved the onetoone clinical counseling. This would be some nice data to link kids to based off of what you
040find off of an initial screener. Um but this is really our first steps towards this. So, um, if approved, I'm excited to see what our high school teams kind of uncover for this process and bring some information back. Do they think that most of the kids are honest when they fill these surveys out? >> Um, so what tends to happen is if you're really dishonest, you end up with like a phone call of or not a phone call, but a come on down to the office. Let's talk through this. Seemed very unlike you type of thing. and then all a sudden they're like, "Whoa, whoa, whoa." Um, I think sometimes a student may be nervous to answer, honestly. Um but um I do feel based off of what they have been having conversations with me
041about is I do find a lot of the um students that are not extroverts or not coming out, you know, you have the ones the students that sometimes are fine coming into the office and saying, "I I need help." Um sometimes they're letting a lot of people know they need help. Um, this one helps catch those uh based on the style of of questions and their answers. Um, I do feel like for their ninth grade because they've done this in Alyssa's mission, um, they've done it with education and then the students take it. Um that's something we would have to like take a look at like what is you know mental health and anxiety and depression and all of these types of things before they engage um in it in hopes that that would help
042them take it a little more seriously. I do feel like the high schools have communicated that that 9th grade data has been pretty accurate because they participated in a week's worth of events. So, as a standalone, not not as certain. But I think if as a teenager, if they know what they're doing and why they're taking it, I think they would be more likely to take it seriously. >> There'll be some packaging around it. >> Any other questions for Dr. Johnson? >> Thank you, Dr. Johnson, for sharing that. >> Roll call, please. >> Mrs. Young. >> Hi, >> Mrs. Help. Okay, >> Mr. Diesel Meyer. >> I >> Mr. Piggy. >> Hi, >> Mr. Hemi. >> Hi, >> Mr. Herrera. >> I Okay, motion passes. Do I have a motion in a second to approve
043the revised scope for phase one of the facilities master plan as presented? >> I move. >> Second. >> Okay. Member Hempy made the motion. Member Piggy seconded the motion to approve the revised scope for phase one of the ma of the facilities master plan as presented. Discussion. >> I would only share that the board spent uh an hour and a half before the beginning of this meeting meeting directly with Nexus uh to go over the revised scope for phase one of the facility master plan which is really those first three years of projects that were initially approved by the board in October of this past year. um they have been re uh re-evaluated and revised as need be. Uh looking at additional uh potential costs as well as the needs of each of those sites
044um individually. We are excited at the opportunity to start getting getting these projects started uh bidded out and designed so that we can take next steps to really uh do the really critically important work that we have before us. Uh and that work would begin with u making our entrances safer and more secure. Uh some of the other work included in that are HVAC systems uh at Washington and at South uh which we also know are in need of critical repair. So we are excited to begin the work on some of these projects and uh appreciate the partnership we've had with Nexus who's really walked the board uh and the administration through these next steps. >> Any other discussion? Now, I'm excited that you selected Nexus 2 to shoulder that that weight, that burden of

048Mr. Hempy. >> Hi. >> Mr. Piggy. >> Hi. >> Mrs. Yonke. >> Hi. >> Mr. Diesel. >> Hi. >> Mr. Herrera. >> Hi. >> Okay. At this time, the board will have discussion on the implementation of board workshops as a structured setting for in-depth board discussions and uh collaborative problem solving. The purpose is to create dedicated opportunities for board members to engage in focused dialogue, review relevant information, and track data over time to inform decision-m and strategic planning. Uh part of the reason we uh put this item on the agenda is coming out of uh you know Mr. Diesel Meyer has made a few comments this evening about the productivity of our most recent board retreat. Uh and at that time the board was uh interested in perhaps doing some additional board workshops very similar
049to what we did today uh from 4 to 5:30. Uh perhaps doing a deeper dive into the strategic plan. Uh, another thing that we've talked about is a deeper dive into our data. Uh, you heard Miss Taylor talk tonight about uh, math scores and the work being done around those. Uh, we've done a lot of work around our benchmark districts, our Illinois report card data, our summitive designations, all of those different pieces. A deep dive into that data and an understanding of that might be another opportunity for a board workshop. I was hoping this evening um, to hear from you if you like that format. Um, if you'd like me to uh set up some structure for some topics for that, um, Mr. Diesel and Mr. Herrera and I discussed perhaps doing um, again that
0504:30 to 5:30 block before those regular board meetings to spend an hour digging into some of those topics. Uh, and again, I think we were just looking for some feedback from the rest of the board on uh, yes, we like those topics. uh we'd like some um additional planning around that or perhaps you have other topics or perhaps you think there's really enough board meetings already. Uh so looking for some feedback. >> I think that's a great idea. I think those are good topics to start with and the more we can learn the better. >> I prefer the 4:30 start time though. Yeah, >> we did take that into consideration. >> So noted. Yeah, I'd come here at 4:30 every month to have some workshop time to explore more of our district administration, administrative operations.
051Um, I think that's a great idea. That'd be great to create a Google spreadsheet or something that we can start putting topics and >> creating a plan around, you know, how how to bring or when we bring them up or or when we're going to talk them through. >> That sounds great. >> Were there any other additional topics that you wanted I mean what we talked about and what Mrs. Taylor brought up today scores to educate ourselves and what with what the district is doing at this time is always great. Um, anything else we heard about mental health, student mental health? Is there any deeper dives you want to look into that to learn more? Um, >> anything else? >> Maybe something with finance or budgets. Mhm. >> I know with budget season coming up,
052it'd be cool to have something this kind of a session about what to expect and what to look for and >> Mhm. >> So when Joanne start throwing numbers necking them at us, >> we have an idea of what you're talking about. >> Absolutely. >> Yeah. Along those lines, we have the monthly vendor uh invoices that we pay each month. You know, total up to 20 million a year or more. and be good to understand our relationship with each of those vendors and what uh what we receive or what we pay for. >> Another good one might be uh the bilingual program. >> Yeah. >> And special education >> early childhood, too. Yeah. Mhm. >> I mean, I think we could have a >> we got a calendar year. >> We're all new and so
053I think we, you know, >> all of them are. Well, I I love the idea uh Mr. Hamkey of putting together a Google spreadsheet. We can absolutely do that. Uh I will collect these and then we can sort of mix and match them and start putting some dates to them and uh putting together some agendas. I think uh our team will be excited at the opportunity uh to share some of that information with the board. Uh and we're just I think really excited that there's an interest in in learning more about it and uh working together to continue to improve the work of the district. So, thank you so much uh for that feedback. >> Yeah, absolutely. >> And they're they're all open meetings. >> All open meetings. They will all be open meetings. Um,
054and again, I would anticipate we'd conduct them very similar to what we did uh this evening just before the board meeting, not uh livereamed, but um so that the board really has an opportunity to engage, but anyone who wants to attend would have absolutely the opportunity to do so and to learn a little bit more >> and recorded. >> Yep. And it will be recorded, of course. >> Awesome. >> Fantastic. Thank you. >> Very good. Um, upcoming contracts and renewals and reports are provided for your reference. I would like I would now like to turn the meeting over to Dr. Shug for administrative reports. >> All right, we're going to do my superintendent comments with our brand new uh PowerPoint uh with our new brand on there. >> I know it's exciting. It really is.
055Uh and we have some good things to highlight. Um so many things happening at the start of the school year here. Uh and one of one of my favorite events and we do this in partnership with the uh BEA and with the um educational excellence um foundation for excellence and education. Uh we provide haircuts uh to our students uh over at Washington Academy is where they take place. Uh anyone can bring their uh kids in for back to school haircuts. It is just a fantastic uh partnership as well with our uh community. We bring in barbers and uh stylists and these kiddos come in and they are so excited to have their haircut. Uh they are adorable. Uh our stylists and our barbers do an amazing job and uh it just really puts them in
056a I think a fantastic spot uh to come to school uh on that first day looking their best and everybody wants to do that. Uh, I have to give a huge shout out to uh Pam who does all all all of the coordination of that uh event uh from getting all of the uh barbers and stylists uh to be in there and really being a source of comfort throughout the day. So, uh I really love this event. It's a fantastic one and I encourage anybody who wants to come out there and uh have a great day. Come on by on Haircuts for Kids Day. Uh we also had the fair. Uh and thank you to all our board members who were able to come out. Um it was a fantastic uh event and we were
057really excited to roll out our new brand and we always are really excited to connect with um our students and our staff and our families at the fair in a different environment. Uh we also were able to build some of our alumni network at that event uh and share the ever important uh back to school magnet. Um, if you didn't get yours, uh, don't worry, they are available at the schools. We were on a little bit of a delay. Uh, here, as we already heard, I have to give a huge shout out to Janine Headley who coordinated so many details in terms of getting those branded products there on time. Um, and was just ever present at uh, that fair. So, thank you so much to Janine for taking care of that. >> Do you
058have any sunglasses? Well, >> we don't. Did we go through all the sunglasses? Every pair of sunglasses. >> I got Brian, if you don't have a pair, I have a pair of pink ones up in my office. >> I can hook you up. I can. Um, we had our welcome uh welcome back to school uh staff picnic, which is another fantastic event. Uh this one Pam uh coordinates and Janine coordinated the shirts and it was beautiful day. Uh we were out at Sunstrand Park. Uh a great relationship with uh park and wreck. Uh they do a fantastic job out there. It's a beautiful facility. Uh and it was just really fantastic uh way to kick the school year off. So uh a great great day and thank you to the board members who were able
059to get out there too. I know the staff always appreciate seeing you out there as well. And we had our kindergarten jump starts uh across the district. Uh the these really help our incoming kindergarteners to get acclimated uh give their families an opportunity as well to get acclimated uh and uh get ready for that ex uh really really exciting first day of school that is on Thursday. Um can you believe it? I cannot. Um I really cannot but they're coming. They're coming. Um and it will be fantastic as it always is. And uh we have our incoming sixth and 9th graders were able to participate in our link and web uh programs at our high school and our middle school. Last year we rolled out the link crew at our high school which is really
060meant to connect our 9th grade students to their experience. This year we're really excited to roll out web which takes place at our middle schools to really connect those sixth grade students. We saw increased participation in 9th grade. we saw better uh overall academic performance. We expect to see some of those same things with that uh transition program at the middle school. So excited to have that and uh Dr. Carson is really been key in helping to coordinate those efforts at those sites. So, uh really fantastic uh back to school opportunities. Uh I do want to give a huge shout out uh to our custodial and maintenance team. I don't know if you all are aware, but we had a storm that came through. Uh, and it created a lot of um challenges for our
061custodial and maintenance team during what is already an incredibly challenging time of the year. Um they were here uh all day Sunday uh you know as early as 500 a.m. really working through uh dealing with trees that were downed, power outages, roof damages, uh classrooms that had water in them uh and didn't have power and generators needed to be brought in. And uh just we had we have such a fantastic team and it's such a busy time of the year and uh no one no one complained. Uh they just stepped in and did what needed to be done so that we could have our doors open for staff today and our doors open for students on Thursday. So a huge kudos to that whole team. And those are my superintendent comments unless there are any
062questions. So many things happening. So many things happening. It's crazy at this time of year, but we are so excited for it. Uh tomorrow, by the way, will be our uh staff kickoff, the superintendent welcome. Uh and the board, of course, is welcome to attend. Uh it'll be at 7:15 for elementary and uh 2:15 for secondary. Uh and that'll be a lot of fun. Um >> 7:15 or 7:30? >> 7:30. I'm sorry. I will be there at 7:15. You don't need to be there at 7:15. I will be there at 7 uh5. You'll be there at 7:30 and 2:15 for secondary. >> At the pack. Yep. At uh BHS at the pack. And uh you will get to see the debut of uh your central office team's um really amazing performance of uh Ted Lasso.
063Uh so buckle up. Uh it's it's going to be interesting. It's going to be something. It's going to be something. Jorge is featured. >> Well, that's emailed out for those of us. >> Oh, no. That is that is not out there for wide consumption. That's just for the people in present present in person only experience. I'll let I'll let you view it maybe over my shoulder. Barbie, >> it's going to go viral >> in the best possible way. Oh my gosh, you guys. I think it's a good idea that I feel filled with regrets as we're as we're getting ready. It's going to be it's going to be great. All right. >> Where should we meet you tomorrow? >> Where should uh just come right on into the pack and uh we'll they'll come on
064down towards the front. I will be introducing the board. Uh so just come on down towards the front and you'll see us. >> Uh nobody sits in the front so you'll totally be able to find a seat. Um, say except except Wendy. Wendy will be up in the front. That's right. >> For Wendy. >> Why don't you make sure you screen record the show so I can see it? >> It's like 10 minutes long. So, >> wow. >> It's going to be great. It's going to be great. >> Uh, any solos at all? >> Oh, there's all sorts of stuff. Uh, you just wait. You just wait, Germaine. It will be. We'll have to have our own like Oscar awards here happening. I'm going to already I'm nominating Shawn Winters. He has an amazing performance
065and that is no lie. All right. Um, okay. Strategic. The suspense. I know. I know. A lot of leadup. Um, I hope it delivers. All right. So, strategic plan updates. Uh, Dr. Carson, you want to start with a goal one update? >> Sure. Yeah, I definitely want to give a shout out to Dr. Balant. Um, she coordinated a lot of professional development this fall, but uh today we had all of our elementary teachers getting uh PD on using the new curriculum that we approved back in the spring. And so, uh, very excited, uh, to have that up and rolling. Now, um, we're also excited the high school, uh, the school board approved, uh, student success intervention two years ago and, uh, that's gone really well. that was targeted for upper classmen and um both schools
066agreed that you know better to catch them early and so this year we'll have that available for our ninth graders. Um so there's been some transition means between our middle schools and high schools to identify some students who need a little extra uh support as they start nth grade and so we're excited for that to begin. >> What did you say SSI? SSI >> it's a student success intervention. So it's uh they they get support from uh there's three staff members connected with it and they basically uh work on some time management executive functioning skills with the students and uh then provide some support for them to be successful in their their coursework for the upper classmates also a chance to do some credit recovery but uh our nth graders won't have that issue starting
067out. Um we're excited our SCP train, we've been talking to you about that and so we've uh had all of our high school staff that have been trained in that and so we're very excited for that. Uh for special education, uh there's lots of uh new systems in place uh with slant elementary. Uh we have um our instructional or our code classes in social studies and science are going to be using um UDL universal divine design for learning which is really about how do we differentiate the instruction to meet students needs. Um, in the high school they have a new EXL intervention that they're going to begin and then there's been some training with Easter Seals for our transitions. Anything you'd like to add? >> I think you covered it all. I'm just uh looking
068at the professional development for Easter Seals. Uh so last year we um targeted um early childhood and elementary and now moving that on to uh middle school and high school to really structure our essential elements and transition programs for best practice and engagement of students who have severe developmental disabilities. >> And our uh early childhood is near full. Uh we have another screen in September. Um so very excited to be working in capacity with her. >> How many classes do we have for early child? >> We have 14 classrooms, seven and each. And they're uh both buildings of blended classrooms, meaning all of our students including students with disabilities are included in a general education blended setting. >> 14 total. >> Dr. Bowman will be doing a update on early childhood at our next ed
069services. So you'll get information of committee notes but or or you can join our meetings are fun. So but she'll she'll be there to report up to >> any questions on goal one. >> Goal two. Dr. Johnson. >> Sure. Um so very similar to goal one. Um everything in that 2A column is all the professional development happening. um really excited to see that all of the professional development that is happening is for all employees across the district. So years back when we started you start with your certified teachers and now we've gotten to the point where we have built up the capacity to be able to expand um training towards news pair professionals bus drivers library clerks you you name it um they're a part of it. Um so a lot of that has been
070happening. Um we did meet with four corners wellness which was the approval for the onetoone counseling at the high schools. So uh they are already paired up with our high schools and are connecting with students from last year that will carry over and then the teams at the high schools are having conversations around um the additional slots that are open um and which students would benefit from that. Um and then um finalizing those food classroom redesigns and also some new robotics equipment through a grant. So big things happening um in the CTE world as well. Thank you. And goal three uh we really just finished uh rolling out the brand. We've been pretty busy with that. Uh and we are going to be working on next steps in terms of communication regarding the cell phone
071uh research study. We'll be sending out uh information to families uh today or I'm not sorry not today uh in the next couple of days here as we prepare uh for our students to be back on Thursday. Uh and we are also working through our communication plan recommendations overall. And uh goal four, >> how has how has the response been to the cell phone policy from both public and from the staff? At this time there's not been a ton of response. So we will see our Yeah, I know. Knock on wood. I mean I I think there were a lot of things that were the same in the policy. It was really confirming it in terms of those consistency pieces. I think as our students actually come back and uh we roll this out, I
072think we'll get some some feedback on that. Uh but right now we really haven't gotten much feedback uh one way or the other. Certainly some people that have reached out and said thank you so much for doing this. Uh some people who stopped by the booth at the fair to say are you really doing this? Um and uh but overall I think uh we're sort of waiting and seeing uh not a lot of >> um not a lot of push back. Uh >> I would say more positive feedback than negative at this point. >> Yeah. And I think as was mentioned last time, I think the key is going to be consistently and faithfully implemented by by the teachers. >> Yeah. >> Consistently. I know my my kids have said, "Oh, some teachers, you know,
073some teachers aren't going to do it." They'll say, "Yes, they are." I'm I'm really hoping that by providing um you know the structures to make it easier to implement uh that takes some of the burden off of our teachers and uh I think if we implement consistently we will see I'm hoping um a really positive learning environment and a really positive change. I think our I think our students just like adults, right? Uh feel compelled to be on those phones uh but also appreciate uh somebody taking charge of that so that they can relax and relieve their own minds from thinking about that. So that is I think it might take a couple weeks to get there, but I'm I'm really hopeful it'll be a positive change and that at the end of the day
074our students and our families will uh be happy for the change. >> Yeah. Second. >> Good question. Did you want to mention that? >> We we do have here for our board as well our cell phone pouches, our cell phone pouch. >> Um so that we can also uh as uh adults model that behavior as well. Uh it's equally challenging for adults as it is for kids. >> Yours was there and then it was and then it was not there and then it was there. >> Correct. Yes. I did have I I when the power temporarily went out, I did feel like I should check the weather. Uh but it is now it is now back. It is now back in there. Um and uh has remained there since uh since we began the uh
075regular meeting after the special board meeting. >> Thank you, Mr. Hempy, for noting >> number one right up there. Yeah, Miss Taylor is going to have to going to have to put her phone in there. >> What are you talking about? What's the I I want to hear about that. I'm sure >> any other any other questions on goal three and goal four. >> All right. No, obviously no fill rates to report yet, but uh we did have our suborientation last Friday. uh over at BHS from 8 to 10:30. We had 52 subs attend which I thought was pretty good. Mr. Mander was a big part of that uh running that. Uh we're continuing to recruit more subs. Our sub coordinator uh even hung out at the fair uh to promote district uh sub opportunities.
076Um our new teacher orientation uh was also last week, so it's pretty busy week uh Monday through Wednesday. Uh and then uh our HR team was on site all day on Monday, which they usually are on that first day. uh just be able to answer any questions uh wrap up any onboarding uh and that type of thing. And so um staff seem to appreciate uh when they're on site for that. Uh then our first possup survey for family staff is going to be on August 27th. Uh one other thing we did uh throughout the trainings and Frank I don't know if you want to speak to this or not but we we implemented kickup for the first time which is a way to track uh professional development hours. any >> any update? >> We started
077doing some testing with it through some smaller events and kind of growing as we kind of have gone through different trainings. But it is really nice to have everything condensed in one spot where we can actually look at the data how it is aligned to strategic plan and certain goals. That's the that's the target is really to see what is are we doing to meet our strategic plan too, what people are taking and being able to kind of target those areas in the future. Um so the best uh union today um had another scale up on what to do that where they got to select different courses that they could take during the course of the time frame for their sip day. Um overall I got really good response. They felt like that was one
078of the best days that they've had in a long p time for learning. Uh it was very differentiated. They felt like it was something that met their needs and it wasn't something that was just a whole scale presentation. So so early uh returns seem very positive so far. Thanks. Okay. >> And that's it. >> Thank you. Any questions on goal four? >> Goal five. Mr. >> Bell, I'll step in facilities. Uh we had a hour and a half meeting with Nexus earlier. So that's a lot of the work done there. Um the proposals have been shared of years 4 through 10. Um and Techland uh CIS update. We've had numerous meetings and plans for the synergy uh um roll out for that. um panels are in secondary schools, teachers were trained last week. Um and
079then the tenative budget is also on the agenda tonight as well. So, a lot of things happening in the facility side. >> Panels are working as expected. >> All right. >> We'll see what happens Thursday. >> Does everybody know how to use the panels? >> Everyone that was at the training, >> we'll see what happens Thursday. All right. Any other questions for Mr. Bell? All right. Um, we have uh also in reports the instructional materials annual report which you can take a look at uh if you would like to do so. We just need to uh report that out per board policy annually as well as the succession of authority uh policy is in there. Um we do have the five essentials 2025 summary. Um Mr. Mandera, did you want to highlight anything from that?
080>> Yeah, just to let everyone know, the five essentials report is something of a climate culture report that the state uh asked every public school to do. They do have alternatives, but we've always stayed with the five essentials report. Um, we've been doing this uh very strategically over the last uh four years, making sure we've met the thresholds, certain percentages that we have for reporting purposes. um it involves students, parents and also teachers and kind of compiles the results then into what is presented in your board packets and as a summary. Uh we've had some systematic kind of improvements over the last two years. Um anywhere from about 2 to 3% across the board in a way of what is measured through the five essentials. Um our biggest strengths has been really the collaboration between
081teachers. um they've reported that the instructional strategies and what they've been doing is has meaning and more things have been happening within their PLC's or PLTS that they've been able to do with assessment and also content. Another big thing of that's been an improvement is safety. Uh the perceptions of safety has improved particular in classroom and hallways. So that's reported as a positive. Uh, one area that is a concern that we need to look at and I know that Cassandra has worked diligently with her goal is family engagement. Uh, to continue to have those avenues to kind of find a better home to school connection of how we can do to make a connection with our families and and universal platform. And then if you uh the very bottom there's a comparison chart of different
082things that you can kind of look at there in way of 24 and 25. uh but I really like to highlight the thing that uh effective leaders uh in which that part of it went from 51 to 54 but it's the strongest improvement program for her parents and that's a a big kudos to Barb and also Dr. Johnson and also Dr. Carson and all the work that they do for goal one and goal two uh really trying to make sure in our strategic plan those two things are becoming more coherent and more connected. So I think that's something to highlight to this whole report. >> Thank you, Mr. Mandera. Any questions for Mr. Mandera on that? >> Yeah, on the on the graph, um what is what does 50 out of 100 mean? >> 50
083out of 100 is it's like the a norm of where you would kind of measure yourself at a 50th percentile. It's like a bell-shaped curve. So where you kind of fall within the 50th percentile, that's kind of the neutral area then. So the lower of course you fall, the faller percentile, the higher. And so right now where we're kind of sitting, it's right in the middle of that bell-shaped curve if you want to look at it that way. >> Compared to other school districts, >> right? >> Compared to other school districts, >> all all the districts that take the five essentials, all their data is compiled in that. So statewide, this is where we >> half would fall higher than us, half would fall lower than us. Okay. >> Yep. >> Good question. Thank you
084for putting all that together, Mr. Mander. I really appreciate it. Uh there's information on the Illinois report card site, but it's kind of hard to sift through and make meaning out of that. So, Mr. Mandera, I think you did a really nice job of making some meaning of this for us. So, I appreciate that. Thank you. Um and then the final item that I will just briefly highlight, uh in the next few months, we're going to be hearing as as Mr. Piggy mentioned, a whole lot about budget. Uh this is your real first look at the tenative budget. Um, right now it looks like, you know, potentially a deficit budget. That is not an accurate reflection of what we expect to see uh moving forward. We just don't have all of the revenues in place
085at this point. Uh, Mrs. Armstrong is going to be working really diligently to try to put before the board a balanced budget. There are a lot of question marks right now uh about what some of those funding items are going to look like and there are a lot of assumptions that we are making at this point. Uh but we are very hopeful to present a balanced budget moving forward. Um and it's definitely always our aim to be uh good stewards of the taxpayers's dollar and I think we have done that. Uh and I think we will continue to do that moving forward and uh Mrs. Armstrong when she is back here in the next couple months will walk through uh that budget in considerably more detail uh with you as those numbers start to firm
086up. Any questions about the tenative budget? All right. Good. Uh I I would uh I would uh pinch hit for Mrs. Armstrong, but she's going to be really uh very uh very skilled at walking you through all the intricacies of that, of which there are very very many. Um and that is the end of our administrative reports. >> Thank you, Dr. Shug. [Applause] That only leaves. Do we have a motion to adjourn the meeting? >> So moved. Got >> a second. >> Second. >> Let's so much fun. >> Okay. Member Peggy made a motion to adjurnn and member dieser seconded a motion to adjurnn. All in favor say I. >> I. >> Those opposed say nay. >> Okay. Meeting adjourned at 7:30.
