030of the meeting. Um, we're going to move on to the superintendence report. Thank you. All right. 4.1 Superintendence Report. Thank you. I'm pleased to report that the curriculum department has received a $2,500 literacy grant. The funds are being used to update our curriculum that will help staff access it more easily, stay aligned across grade levels, and keep our curriculum up to date and responsive to students needs. Uh, thanks to Mrs. Radkkey for her effort in securing that grant. Pleased to report we had our most recent kindergarten screening on April 30th. We screened 95 incoming kindergarteners and each received a welcome bag with favors from the district as they are uh becoming connected to their new school community. And a huge thank you to our kindergarten and ELLL teams for their support and assistance through that
031screening process. Also pleased to report uh Central is home. Their eighth grade uh trip to DC was a success. They were in Washington DC April 30th through May 2nd for an educational enriching experience. They visited national monuments, museums, historical sites and had uh meaningful connections to the curriculum and to our nation's history. staff and chaperones reported that students were engaged, respectful, and represented Central Middle School with pride, which is a nice segue to our our middle school band who has recently returned from their Disney trip. Congratulations to Central Middle School band as they were selected by audition to perform at Walt Disney World in Florida. Uh more than 100 students traveled to Disney on April 24th. They participated in a clinic. They learned how animation and soundtracks are recorded and processed for movies. As part
032of the clinic, students recorded selections from the movie Milan. The band also traveled to Disney Springs and performed a 30-minute concert for everyone to hear and enjoy. Some of the group's favorite tunes included music from Moana, Toy Story, and Avengers. While in Disney, students also got the opportunity to visit Animal Kingdom, Hollywood Studios, and Magic Kingdom. They created amazing memories and friendships that will last a lifetime. Bravo to our students on representing District 146 in Central Middle School uh and the state of Illinois with distinction and pride. I'm also pleased to report that our preparations for our Central Middle School summer renovation project are well underway. The district has conducted pre-construction meetings with the architect and the construction company to develop the schedule and finalize material submitts and um you can imagine this disruption to
033um the central staff. They are excited and eager to um welcome this project. Uh however that has required a good amount of planning and packing and organizing from on their part. Um everything in the school will be relocated to the two gymnasiums for the duration of the project and getting ready uh has been extra work for many staff related that it feels great to organize and eliminate items doing a bit of spring cleaning quite literally and another benefit has been the discovery of outdated or obsolete curriculum um materials that has been inventoried and will be evaluated by the curriculum department. So you'll uh likely see a a a movement to declare some of that a surplus and so it can be donated to uh schools in need. The plans have been made to relocate the
034central team to Memorial to here over the summer so they can continue working on preparing for next school year. Um this may also result in uh summer band being relocated here. We hope not, but uh possibly. Um, and certainly we will need our private music instruction, private lessons to move to Memorial, uh, as Central will, uh, not be available over the summer. And two condolences this month, uh, Gwen Pereira's father-in-law, uh, Emanuel, passed away. Gwen's a first grade teacher at Fulton. And Sue Campbell's father-in-law, Richard Campbell, passed away. Sue is the district controller. So, our hearts go out to those uh, families. And that concludes the superintendent's report. Thank you. 5.1 citizens may address the board at this time.

Um many of them have just been in the permanently closed position for some time since the remodeling project this summer has us uh
038changing the floors. This is the right time to do away with those uh walls.

I move that the board of education approved the CMS domestic hot water boiler replacement project as presented. Is there a second? I second. Any discussion? Can I ask a silly question? Sure. What's a domestic hot water as opposed to a non-domemestic hot water? So, If you need more, I'll give you the opening statement and then Matt can fill in the rest. Domestic water is the water that comes makes your water in your sinks hot. Okay. Whereas the big boilers, the big van size boilers, those are for uh heat like HVAC systems. Is that right, Matt? That's correct. All right. Secretary, call the
041role. Boehner, yes. Dunlap, yes. Floyd, yes. Casper, yes. Nenza, yes. Barry, yes. Hammerick, yes. 7.8. Approval of Fulton boiler project. Matt, I'm going to let you talk about this one. Okay. Um, in February, uh, one of the two heating boilers, uh, began to experience some issues. Um, so we had our our, uh, our mechanical company come out and investigate. What they discovered was there there was a crack in the heat exchanger. It's the main component that the water runs through when it's heated. Uh the the two boilers that are there are original to the building. Puts them at um 16 years. Uh average useful life of these boilers are between 15 and 20 years. So it's a little on the short side, but it's within that window. We asked uh uh them to give us
042a price on repairing it um and replacing it. So, the repair um 69,000 um but you still have a lot of components, electronic components, rather expensive components that are still 16 years old. Um so, tonight we were recommending uh the replacement of the boiler um for $128,500. Um they've assured us that the um there's no shortage of the boilers and it'll be done over the summer. The boilers are actually used all throughout the year the way the the heating systems designed. So we we really want to get it in before. All right. Can I have a motion? I move that the board of education approve the Fulton boiler project as presented. Is there a second? I'll second. Any discussion? All right. Secretary, call the role. Boehner. Yes. Dunlap, yes.

The adoption will be phased in over two years. The first year will be exploration, professional learning. Um, and during that time, we're going to have a steering committee. So, they're going to go ahead and implement with fidelity, and they'll help inform the process, let uh people know, the people who are supporting the professional learning know about any um content pacing issues, things like that. So, that's what I mean by inform the process. And then the second year will continue the professional learning collaboration and reflection, but then the expectation will be full implementation in the K5 classrooms. And an updated quote for the cost for
045print and digital materials plus their professional development um is expected next week. So that's where we're at with that. 8.2 consol consolidated district plan FY 2026. Okay. And so I'm sorry, may I go ahead? Yes, please. Uh, so that plan um is a document that the district is required to have board approval before it's submitted to ISBY and that outlines how we're meeting goals and requirements tied to several uh federally funded programs. So it guides how the resources are allocated basically. Um so these are things like academic support for title one, two, the um English learners three and title four. So it basically covers the curriculum and then the student services. So where we're at with that 8.3 equipment to be declared as surplus for sale, donation or disposal. So um CMS did a little
046spring cleaning I heard. And um so the district is asked to be considered some items for uh surplus. So, items under review from central include sewing machines and related workstation tables, uh, ELA curriculum, and some science supplies and kits, and they're being considered for surplus due to changes in the curriculum and updated instructional practices. All right. 8.4 school board conference attendance for 2025 2026. Yes. So, your policy states that you will um act to um express your intentions of continuing to develop yourselves professionally as a board. And that may include you attending local, area, state, and national meetings. Um the one that comes most readily to mind is the joint annual conference in November that the board customarily attends. So we will ask you next month to take that action that your board policy requires
047to announce your intention to continue that practice. Thank you. 9.1 communications correspondence to the board of education.
