Um for tonight's agenda, uh we'll start
002off with the invitation for public comment. Then we will move on to discussion. Um and then we will adjourn into our regular meeting. Um so let's start with our invitation for public comment. Any members of the public wish to comment? Sure. Okay. All right. Then we will move on to our discussion which is the D128 202728 district calendar review. And I'm going to turn it over to Dr. Kentus. Yes, thank you. Um, this is the annual presentation that, um, the District 128 calendar committee makes to the board. Um, the calendar committee each year meets um, in the fall to create and recommend a school calendar for the board of education to approve and to review. Of course, the calendar committee in district 128 is composed of students. All of our um schoolboard representatives were invited
003and many participated. It is composed of staff both our ESP and certified staff as well as administrative staff and it is um also attended by a board of education representative. In this case, Miss Austin was the representative. Um the calendar committee um comes together in the fall. We review the district 128 calendar creation guidelines that have been established over the years. Um and this year it was determined that we would give a school community survey in order to gather feedback about the things the p um the variables in a calendar that were most important to our school community at this time. As you well know uh trying to create a calendar to meet the needs of our entire school community can be a challenge um because there are many things that people would like to
004see on the calendar. So, the calendar committee gave the survey as a way to help um understand what the community's priorities were. This year, when we um sent the survey out, we sent it to all students, all staff members, and all parent guardians. We received nearly a thousand responses. And the uh responses were organized by priorities, and those tended to break down into three broad categories. The highest priorities for the calendar um from the community was that schools should start no earlier than the second week of August. That's different. We had been starting before that time. Um but the community was very very clear that they wanted us to try to find a way to push the start date back a little bit later in August. The other thing that was overwhelmingly clear, especially from
005our students, was that first semester final exams should be held prior to winter break. Um there were some middle priorities that were much less than those first two, but that would be to try to align our calendar with the the feeder districts, our foundational schools. The challenge there is that we have four foundational school districts as you know. So aligning with all four of them can be a challenge. Uh there was a desire to see if we could create non-attendance days for religious holidays as well as to consider the entire week of Thanksgiving as a vacation week. And then the lowest priorities from the community were that the school year should end before Memorial Day and that both semesters should be equally balanced. So with that information, the calendar committee worked together to create a
006few drafts of our 2728 calendar and we are submitting that for you um to review. I just will highlight a couple things. Uh, one is that this calendar does meet the community request to start our school one week later than our recent calendars. It starts August 15th. So, this was the number one priority that we heard and this calendar does that. The first day of school in 2728 for students would be Wednesday, August 18th. Uh, we started on a Wednesday. That was also something that students and staff felt was better than starting on a Monday. We also have first semester finals before winter break. So, the top two priorities from our community were able to be met by this calendar. Because we're starting a week later, we believe we'll have greater alignment with our feeder
007school start dates. Um, we also will have alignment on spring break and winter break with our feeder districts. Um the other thing is that this will um because we're moving the start date back a week, we also have to move our end date back. So the last several years we've been ending school before Memorial Day. This calendar, however, ends school the week after Memorial Day. And we worked with our students on this. They gave very good im information. they did not want their final exams to be split over Memorial Day weekend. So, we found a way to have final exams be immediately following Memorial Day. Um there are two things with this calendar that um we will have to consider in the future and one of those is graduation in 2028. So, typically graduation is
008been the Thursday night before Memorial Day. Um and that means that it is a final exam day. Ne in 2028 that would be a regular school day and so we will have to kind of figure out how we would run graduation and what uh we would need to do to adjust maybe graduation. Um that's something we have time to figure out. We have two years. One of the questions is might we decide to move graduation off of Thursday night um onto a weekend is something we may consider, but we will put a uh separate than the calendar committee. If the board approves this calendar, then our district administration will work with our buildings to create a process for reviewing our options for graduation. The other point that I'd like to highlight is that this calendar
009remains an operational calendar. Um and by that it means that we are not um able to take any religious holidays other than the religious holidays that are mandated by the state. I do want to highlight that our committee did hear um as a middle priority that uh there was a desire to try to find ways to incorporate non-attendance days for religious holidays. And the committee did a deep dive on this and did spend time studying this issue and looking at this issue. The committee basically came to a place of saying if we're going to celebrate some religious holidays, we need to celebrate all. And the challenge of recognizing all of the major religious holidays are that some years based on the calendar it might only be two days, but other years it could be six
010or seven holidays that we're trying to incorporate into the calendar. and that would push school back to mid June, making it impossible to run summer school and still start in early August. So though the committee discussed this and really worked at some iterations of it, it was determined to maintain an operational calendar. Um, Good Friday is the only religious holiday that is incorporated into this calendar and that is a statemandated holiday. And what the committee said is that in the future we will try to incorporate Good Friday into spring break as a way to mitigate that as well. In 2728, Good Friday does not fall until April. Um so we weren't able to do that, but in years that it falls in March, that would be something that the committee would look to do. Um
011the other piece that I want to highlight is we know how important it is for our families and our students to celebrate religious holidays. And so one of the outcomes of the committee work was to create a better more um assertive way to highlight when religious guidance would be in place. If you look at the 2728 draft calendar, you will see that we have incorporated religious guidance into it as an orange RG. Those are not school days off. Those are days when a religious holiday would be falling on a day of attendance. And it is a note to our community and to our staff that religious guidance would be in place, which is monitoring and restricting the type of work that a teacher can assign during the day and to students at home in the
012evening. Um, we are also working on a new uh updated district calendar for our website that will better be able to communicate the religious holidays and the religious guidance to all members of our school community. And we have heard very clear feedback from our students. um that some of the religious holiday guidance sometimes gets forgotten or lost or missed by well-meaning staff. and our building principles and our district administration, our teaching and learning team will do a better job of making sure that we are um notifying staff on these dates and um trying to in make sure that we don't have staff who accidentally forget to put the religious guidance in place on the days that it's scheduled for. With that, we submit the calendar to you as a board for review and discussion and
013I can answer any additional questions. >> All right. Thank you, Dr. Clintis. Questions? >> Pause for questions? >> No. >> West Poland. >> All right. Well, I guess I have I've got some questions. Um, so I appreciate the religious guidance because when the calendar discussion was had, was it November 2023? Is that when the changes were made? >> Yes. That that fall of 23. Yes. >> Yes. Okay. Um, I know at that time I don't believe that there um was a religious guidance document presented. Um, so I think this will be helpful moving forward because I think a lot of promises that were made were not necessarily fulfilled. Um, so we have to make sure that we are um >> momentary pause >> following this. Um, and so that leads me to my question when
014we say that no student will be penalized in any manner. um what is specifically included and how do we intend to communicate that to staff and also our families? >> Yes. So on a religious guidance day what we do is we make sure that students who are missing school for religious guidance one they are not penalized for their absence. Their absence is considered an excused absence for privacy reasons. We cannot ask students, are you missing for a religious holiday? We just allow students to call and say they're going to be excused. However, if a student and a family is comfortable sharing that they're going to be out for religious purposes, they can talk to their teacher in advance and they can also have work given to them in advance so that they can do that
015around their family celebration. But even if they don't um their absence does not count in any negative way against them. And then what we have asked our staff to do is to on the day's religious guidance is in place not to give any major assessments any major summitive assessments. So final ex um semester or excuse me unit exams um any type of big types of writing assessments that would be done in class any type of labs that would be impossible to make up um on another day or any type of classroom experience like field trips and things that you couldn't make up um outside of that day of school. We would be saying no and restricting. Um students would be allowed to either make up those uh exams um or excuse me they would be
016allowed to make up any work that was being done in class on those days um and would not be penalized for any of that as well. We uh have a system where we have a calendar that um we highlight all of the religious holidays that are happening during each month and our um Mr. Varn, our director of equity, sends out emails to staff highlighting when religious guidance is going to be in place. We need to make sure that that is information that is seen by all staff members. So, we have to look at that communication and we have to make sure that if we hear that a staff member has assigned work on that day, um that we're following up with that staff member and that we are addressing that because that would be something
017that would not be allowed under this guidance. >> Okay. Um so when we're talking about extracurriculars um and sports if there is a team policy that a if an athlete misses practice they cannot start in the next game. Okay. So if a athlete misses practice for religious observance will that athlete then be subject to the team rules? Yeah, we would not um have that that athlete would not be penalized. I'm going to verify that. Bryant Kelly talks to our athletic directors um all the time. Bryant, is that the correct guidance for that? >> Bryant Kelly, >> I believe that's the guidance we're g giving, but I'll have to check with them. >> Yeah, we that would be the spirit of the policy is that because it's a religious absence, it is excused. It is not
018an athlete making a choice not to be there because they want to go out with their friends or they just don't feel like going to practice. Um I don't believe that we would have uh a coach that would penalize our students for that. And I would make sure that that coach through our athletic directors and our building administration would understand that that's a violation of the spirit of our religious guidance. And our and our religious guidance says that um optional practices or rehearsals may be scheduled on these days, but no student will be penalized in any matter because a student requested and received an accommodation pursuant to this policy. >> Okay. So, is that the spirit of the policy moving forward or currently? >> that's the current policy current practice. >> Okay. Um because I
019don't think that's currently happening. Um >> so the two the when I I can say that um two things. One is sometimes because we can't ask a student if they're absent for a religious holiday. Sometimes a coach may not know if a student just doesn't show up to a practice but doesn't tell the coach it's for religious reasons. So that's one thing we need to we need to help our students understand that if they want those exemptions, there is sometimes a need for extracurriculars to share that. Um but secondly the um I would encourage our parents and our students to understand too that if they are getting a feeling that there's a consequence for that to talk either directly to their teacher or coach or to their supervisor um because again this policy is very
020clear. It's something that our district is committed to and we would absolutely work to help resolve that conflict between a coach or a teacher and a family. >> Right. And I mean, listen, in theory, this is great, >> but a lot of times, uh, theory and reality don't necessarily match up. And this is one time where we really need to we really need it to match up. >> Yes. Um and uh so I think for me um you know the biggest piece is really finding out how we're going to train our staff because I do think there there's a training component. Um and then also the communication to parents, you know, our families. um as well as um like for the attendance monitor I noticed there's a when you do the drop down there's no
021option for observing religious holidays but now that makes sense because we can't ask >> right >> now what if the parent chooses other and then in the comment box puts observing religious holiday then is that fine if the family is providing that >> okay >> yeah families can provide us the information we just can't ask them for it Um, and then two, uh, in the religious guidance document, it asks that the students, um, give the teachers a week notice, which I think is fair, uh, and reasonable. Um, but will, as um, students are becoming familiar with this um, plan, will there be reminders sent out like maybe at the beginning of year like if you plan on >> That is our intent. Yes. Okay. And the the advance notice is only if the student wants
022work in advance. So if a student just does if it's just a normal day of class and the student doesn't tell the teacher in advance, they're not penalized in any way. We don't expect students to have to tell their teacher, hey, I'm going to be out in advance. The only reason for that is that sometimes a student may say, I'm going to be out for a day of class. could you give me the notes and could you give me the materials and the reading assignment because I want to read it a couple days before? And that's where we ask the student to notify the teacher in advance so the teacher can prepare those materials rather than the student just the day before saying to the teacher, I'm going to be out. Can you provide that
023for me? >> Okay. And then um this will all be updated in the student handbook. All right. Um that's it. Anybody else? >> Yeah, just want to echo what Wes was saying and I think it's it's overall a well thought policy and uh already you have provided some rational as to how it will be executed. It would work well. uh one thing is again being proactive and and telling the community and the students and the families that we can in a way treat this as an excused absence but when you're doing that sometimes a proactive excuse absence is an option so that's how it can be uh used in a more productive way >> Jim Batson >> just a a quick question comment the these procedures and things that you're discussing now those aren't waiting
024until the 27 school year. We're talking about doing that now. Yeah. Yeah. That's what I'm I'm assuming. I just want to make sure that's clear. >> Yes. And part of the discussion at the committee was the way we would strengthen those both the communication proactive communication around it as well as the um responses when those may have not been put in place. >> Mark Schaefer. >> Yes. I just want to give a again a special shout out to the students that participated on the calendar committee. Um in my career I've sat on many calendar committee meetings. Um I can tell you as I had a front row seat to this that our students um actively participated and actually provided um a lot of sage guidance and um which helped to inform our decisions as well.
025you know, at the end of the day, um, yes, it's important that we create good calendars for our our parents and community, but we serve our students. And so, um, uh, it was really, uh, gratifying to to really, uh, engage with them in this process, too. >> West Poland. >> All right. All right. And with that, we will adjourn the committee of the whole at 7:07 p.m. >> Jim Batson. >> Okay. and we're going to roll right into the board meeting since it's after 7 o'clock already. So, I will call to order the Yeah. Give Carol a minute here. >> Pause for note takingaking. >> Okay, ready to roll. We call to order the December 15th, 2025 board meeting at 7:10 p.m. the regular board of education meeting. Um, can we have a roll call,

So we should be able to get through this hopefully rather quickly. Um uh invitation for public comment. Anyone wishing to address the board? >> Pause for the public. >> Okay, seeing none, we'll move on. Student school board representative reports. >> Take it away, >> Anukica. Good evening. I'm so excited to share how VHS students have been doing their part to leave a cheerful and positive impact on community members with the upcoming holiday season. Back
028in October on Halloween, Backlight Theater Company students participated in their annual trick-or- treat so kids can eat food drive where they collect canned goods and non-p perishables in the Deer Path community to donate to Vernon Township food pantry. Senior Taylor Schmidt shared, "This year's Totsky was really special because we collected a record amount of food and almost double the amount that we had last year. It's an amazing event to be a part of that does good for the community and builds friendships within our theater company at BHS. The chamber choir also recently spread holiday spirit to multiple community members with their singing. Senior Sierra Alvik explained that the chamber choir went carolling in the community where we visited places like Lur Children's Hospital, the radio station, and a bunch of retirement homes. This is one
029of my favorite days because we get to bring joy to those who may not have the ability to do holiday activities. The news outlet ABC7 Chicago covered this event and noted that firm for former Lur Children's Hospital patient John Devilbower, a VHS junior and member of the chamber choir came back and performed there. ABC7 shared how this is a moving holiday message for all of us to never give up or to lose hope. Finally, members of the future leaders and activism and government club flag at BHS, including Asha and myself, helped set up a studentrun fundraiser over two days of concert in conjunction with the music department programming with the Hawthorne Middle Schools. Miss Wendy Meister Lauria, Flag's teacher adviser, said that through the generosity of our community, we raised over $500 selling hot chocolate
030and cookies. All of which was donated to a local organization that provides support to families in need. Miss Alamela believes that activism opportunities like this show students that small choices can make a big impact. Thank you so much. And then I will also read Ashva's report. Um this is for Ashva. He will be well sorry I'll be sharing his updates on student experiences related to college application support and ongoing school lunch reforms at VHS. He first gathered feedback on the college resource center and student experiences with college counselors. Seniors Rohan and Christine both emphasized how valuable the CRC's drop-in sessions have been during this final month of college applications. They shared that having easy informal access to counselors for lastminute questions, essay feedback, and application clarification significantly reduce stress and made the process feel more
031manageable. Both students also highlighted the usefulness of the CRC's posted resources, particularly information on college opportunities and scholarships. However, they noted that while some scholarships were posted through the CRC, many major opportunities were ones they only discovered through independent research. They suggested creating a more comprehensive and centralized scholarship database for seniors, which could be especially h helpful for future classes navigating the application process and trying to avoid missing important deadlines. Since the CRC handles local scholarship, this could be facilitated by a different department. I also gathered student feedback on school lunch access, particularly during later lunch periods. This is kind of building off of his previous reports. Students Adit Naik and Mohit Sandel Kumar noted that access to food options during sixth period and later lunch periods has improved compared to early in the year.
032They appreciated the progress made toward better availability and choice. However, both students in sixth and seventh period emphasized that inconsistencies remain with a few options still being vacant and they hope to see continued improvements to ensure that students in later lunch periods have the same access and options as those earlier in the day. Overall, students are grateful for the district's continued efforts to support them academically and logistically. They value the resources currently in place while continuing to advocate for more equitable access to both college support services and school lunches. Thank you for your time. >> Olivia Bush. >> Good evening, members of the board. Just to reintroduce myself, I'm Olivia and tonight I wanted to highlight the role of the Vernon Hills Academic Resource Center and how it has played an important role during one
033of the most demanding moments of the school year, finals week. This period requires students to balance multiple cumulative assessments at once once, which often leads to increased stress. Research consistently shows that academic pressure peaks at the end of the semester and that targeted support can make a measurable different difference across Illinois suburban districts. School-based academic support has been shown to improve both performance and confidence during high stake testing periods. Data from Illinois State Board of Education shows that students who regularly access supplemental academic support are more likely to demonstrate gains in core subjects, particularly math and reading. In suburban high schools, tutoring and resource centers have been identified as effective tools for improving course pass rates and reducing the number of students needing academic remediation. These outcomes reinforce the idea that consistent accessible academic support
034help students better prepare for cumulative cumulative waits assessments like finals at Vernon Hills. This past week, the Ark was consistently busy throughout the day. Students sought out support in math, science, world language, and writing, including those last minute essay questions that tend to appear during finals week. ARC executive board member Shub Sharma shared that organizing these sessions requires significant time, coordination, and commitment from the entire executive board. This work is strengthened by the guidance of Mrs. Garcia and Mrs. Schwarz, whose leadership ensures the ark operates smoothly during high demand periods. I myself am a peer tutor and have experienced immense gratitude for the adults who fight for this academic resource to be accessible year after year. The Ark's strong attendance during finals week and the weeks before shows that when academic support is accessible, students
035do use it. More importantly, it shows our district's continued commitment to student success, well-being, and academic growth. Thank you, >> Andy Trobe. >> Good evening, everyone. With the end of the semester coming near, Ruhi Ava and I have been enjoying spending time reflecting on the first half of our senior years and our plans for the rest of it. One thing that has stood out to us this semester and will stay with me for the foreseeable future is the countless opportunities available to students in the district. I found that teachers at LHS take pride not only in the quality of education they provide, but also in the relationships they build with students. Additionally, resource areas and extra support opportunities such as the ones Olivia mentioned provide clear paths to academic su success. Another source of pride
036for the three of us is the variety of extracurricular activities available to students in the district. Whether that's rooting on our athletic teams like the girls and boys basketball teams, both of which beat Lake Zurich this week. participating in cultural clubs such as Muslim Student Association or Black Student Union or being active community members through clubs like Topcats or Interact. LHS students are grateful for the abundance of ways to get involved and stay involved in their community. Opportunities like these don't just make us better students, they make us better and more well-rounded. And we're grateful for the board's continued dedication to these efforts. Thank you. >> Ava Gratitor. >> Good evening. I would like to talk about the end of the semester at LHS. With finals starting tomorrow, students are preparing for their final experience.
037I say final experience instead of exams because of the wide array of assignments an LHS student may have during their finals period. I have projects, a presentation, and of course a few traditional exams, but I overall have a very wide range of finals this year. I know many other students stew and share this view as well. In my experience, this also allows for better preparation for college because college curriculum also contains many different forms of finals in classes. With the end of the semester and finals, Cook Memorial and Aspen Library host a study night for students. Snacks are provided and every table and workspace is occupied by studying students. Many teachers are there to help students with any questions they might have and this night is so incredibly helpful. I've gone for all four years
038of my high school career. My friends and I were there studying earlier today and we have done it for the past years. It's become a tradition for us. Many students greatly value this night and this opportunity for students is so beneficial and has helped many over the years. Thank you. >> Ruhi Patil. >> Hi everyone. Since it's the holiday season, the first thing I want to express is my appreciation for drop-in support spaces. Places like the College and Career Resource Center and MASH have always been helpful, but they're especially useful in this season of high stress as students prepare prepare for upcoming finals. Additionally, with the 2728 calendar being presented tonight, I wanted to highlight an opportunity for leadership that Libertyville board representatives have recently experienced participating in the calendar committee meetings. Being able to
039observe the behind-the-scenes work involved in creating our district calendars have been incredibly insightful. Participating in the administrative processes allowed us to appreciate the level of intentionality and collaboration throughout the district district's decision-making and it's incredibly fulfilling to know that our partnership will benefit future students. It also brought up this sense of curiosity and engagement in me. When I reflect on my own leadership role as president of LHS's business club, DECA, I know that even something as simple as refining meeting agendas demonstrates how experiences like this are powerful in shaping leadership skills, empowering students, and cultivating intrinsic motivation. By allowing us to see the administration's process and strong supplemental resources, D128 furthers its commitment to encouraging curiosity, growth, and meaningful student investment. Thank you. Camera turns to board members >> Jim Batson. >> Okay, thank you
040very much. Um, always great to hear from the students and Ashra. Sorry he couldn't make it tonight, but he has a excused absence, so we're we're okay with that. Thank you for doing double duty there. Um, okay, moving on. Um, as you'll note, we have u some foyer requests listed uh in the agenda here and then we'll move on to we have a superintendent report. >> So, good evening board of education. Uh, last week we welcomed 140 senior residents of District 128 to the annual dinner and holiday concert at Libertyville High School. District 128 staff members along with members of the LHS Interact and National Honor Society help greet and serve our guests. A big thank you to our senior friends who joined us for this long-standing tradition and for their ongoing support of our
041schools. I'm excited to share that episode three of our D128 Voices podcast is available now. In this episode, I chat with Foundation for Learning Chair Erica Randall and Foundation Secretary Melissa Lanziki to recap the the recent big event, share what's next on the Foundation's Horizon, and explore how its initiatives continue to enrich the educational experiences of our students. Podcast is available on Apple Podcast, Amazon Music, Spotify, iHeart Radio, etc., etc. Lots of places. And it's also accessible on our 128 website. District 128 Special Olympian Addison Potter delivered an outstanding performance and earned the silver medal in division 6 at the state bowling tournament in Decar earlier this month. And Vernon Hills High School junior Elizabeth Row, who earned first place in the local VFW Voices of Democracy Scholarship Program for her essay and audio presentation

Next on the agenda is the LHS tenure health life safety survey. Uh, I guess it happens every 10
046years, right? Um, we need a motion to approve the uh tenure life health life safety survey. Poland. So moved. >> Second. >> Okay. Any questions or comments on this? >> I have a question. >> Sure. >> Um what's our what's the schedule for Vernon Hills High School? >> Uh Vernon Hills had one done a few years ago. >> Okay. >> So they're they're Yeah, they had one done a few years ago. So we had the priority A's resolved and then we'll have to start taking a look at the priority B's as well. >> All right. Yeah, this is a every 10 year thing and they give priority items that prioritize items that need to be addressed or should be addressed. >> Right. But it's per building. So I was just curious when >> Yeah, they're
047on different timelines. >> Yep. All right. Thank you. >> Uh, okay. Any other questions? Uh, roll call, please. >> Flegal. >> Hi. >> Cotwell. >> Hi. >> Poland. >> Hi. >> Simpson. >> Hi. >> Austin. >> Hi. >> Batson. >> Hi. >> Deshmuk. I >> Okay, motion passes. Next on the agenda is uh a solar agreement with Forefront. Uh it's something we've been discussing for a while, but uh um Dan, do you have any quick background you want to >> Yeah, bringing the NE on board as we discussed a few months ago was extremely helpful. They ran a RFP process uh with several companies uh to submit ideas for putting solar on both of our buildings. Uh Libertyville is just not quite ready for that yet in terms of the ages of their roofs. Uh
048once we start replacing those roofs is going to be when the time comes for that building, but there's plenty of space here. Uh and uh potential soon for um more solar. And so uh we have Forefront is uh a company um that stood out in terms of the RFPs. And so what this is is a 20-year uh PPA power purchase agreement. Essentially what we're doing is we're agreeing to buy the electricity that is generated from the solar panels for a negotiated rate and that rate is fixed for 20 years which is fantastic. Um so we anticipate um based on our best estimation of how much power will be generated we'll save approximately 14,000 a year on Vernon Hills. So it's not huge. It's not going to replace the electricity in Vernon Hills. It's going to
049it's a step in that direction, but there'll be there's going to be a lot of panels on the roof. Um, and then as we replace more roofs across this building, we can add on into the future as well. Um, so we're excited to move forward and finally get to the point of putting solar on top of the roofs. >> Yeah. And quite possibly further down the road that 14,000 might grow. >> Yeah, it could be more too. It just NIA is a little conservative uh in terms of the estimation. Um, like for example, if you have a day that's really high peak, so a day that you need a lot of you need a lot of um, electricity for to run air conditioning or something and it's really hot, uh, you actually could save because
050the panels will take that first edge off, but you can't guarantee that because that day might be cloudy. So, right, it's not something that you can guarantee necessarily, but that's their best estimation. >> Okay. So I need a uh motion to authorize the administration to sign the energy service agreements with forefront power pending final approval from our legal and superintendent. >> Motion legal >> polling second. >> Okay. Any questions from the board? >> I have a question. >> Clarifications maybe. So this is kind of a lease agreement, right? It's basically uh forefront is coming to VHSS installing the solar panels and le kind of leasing our floor space or our roof space and uh we are buying the electricity for them at a negotiated price. Uh is that the right way to think about it?
051>> Um it is a reasonable way to think about it. We're not really renting we're not leasing anything to them because there's not really consideration. Um, but we're going to allow them to install and own the panels. They're not we're not leasing the panels, you know, not anything like that. It's going to be theirs and once the term is done, it's their responsibility to take them back. >> And so that was my second part of the question. So during this 20-year period, we do not have any obligations to them or are there any contractual obligations other than those panels being on our floor on the rooftop? No, I mean there's there's there's maintenance and things like that that are going to be associated with panels like that, but that's built into the agreement, >> but
052that's still to be taken care at there and not correct something that we have to >> Correct. That's that's part of why we decided to go with the PPA. It's it's not the uh there's ways you can save more money by doing it yourself. Um, but the PPA allows basically we're outsourcing all of that to a company to handle all for us and we're just going to pay for the electricity and just take the savings. >> Thank you. >> Um, West Poland. >> So, the panels are going to be installed on Vernon Hills where we've had the roof recently replaced. Correct. >> Yes. >> All right. So, >> or new roofs that never existed before like the West Gym. >> Okay. Um, and then what happens when that roof needs to be replaced? >> Um,
053we the roofs that we're picking are based on roofs that we don't anticipate replacing within the life cycle, but should we have a roof that need So, we might have roof that needs to get work done. Um, we'll have to work with the company to remove the panels so that we can access the roof um and do the work that we need. But we don't anticipate, Mark, correct me if I'm wrong, we don't reasonably anticipate that we're putting solar panels on roofs that we're going to be replacing within the foreseeable future. >> Okay. And then >> Mark Kubman, >> that is true. Yes. In our design that we do our roofs, we design our roofs for a 30-year lifespan. Um, so even though we, you know, some of these roofs are a few years old,
054um, it still falls into that category where, um, we shouldn't have to remove have the panels removed off a roof, um, you know, in order to replace a roof. >> West Poland. >> Okay. So, at the end of this agreement, um, will they then take their equipment back? >> Yep. >> And then what does that do to the roof? Mhm. >> What happens to the roof when the equipment is removed? >> Dan Stanley. >> Uh, well, in approximately 20 years or so, um, it Well, let me let me say it this way. Both in the installation and in the removal, um, we're working with our consultant to make sure that there's no damage or anything affecting our roof quality or warranties. Um, so it's possible 20 years from now when they were when they take
055them off. It depends on what happens then. Um, we could like for example, we we might extend it for a little bit more time. If everything seems fine, the conditions are fine, the roofs are fine, we might not do anything. It kind of depends on the situation there and what incentives there might be 20 years from now. Uh, so we don't really know what's going to happen at the end of the 20 years. Um, but we know that based on the timing, um, you when those come off, we'll have some roofs that are going to start getting closer to the age of replacing. Um, but we don't anticipate that they come in, they they remove the things from the roof and our roofs are damaged and we'll have to replace them based on that. >>
056Okay? Because I I mean, no offense to anyone, but I don't plan to be here 20 years from now. Um, >> some of us will still be here >> and I just don't want to create a situation where we're burdening like the next generation and creating a big problem for them. >> We are. That's that's a good that's a good question and a very very good thought. We're we're trying to be careful to not do that. We're trying to set up um set up the future better than we had it coming in. >> Okay. Great. And if I can add just one more thing to on the same thought >> the agreement when we are whatever would be the agreement that would be finalized. I think there is this labor cost component that is associated
057with this repairs and you know something happening to the roof in between this 20-year period which is a super long period. uh let's ensure that we have adequate provisions built in to ensure that our district doesn't have to bear those costs for things that we can anticipate can happen for example after 10 years we need to look at the roof something underneath the roof the panels have to be taken out for whatever reason and we need to ensure those costs don't come on us but it would be the utility company who is taking over those costs. I I I mean the reason I'm saying that is like now houses are having similar things that we these energy companies are coming in putting in roofs and it's a 20 year 10ear lease agreement or whatever it
058is and then something happens to the roof and they says sorry it's your responsibility to get the panels out put them back and stuff or we we will charge you for all those things. So again, let's ensure that the agreement is foolproof to protect us from those. >> Yes, all of those things are part of the things that we're still finalizing in terms of the terms, but the the idea is taking all those things into consideration. Um is yeah, is our intent. Doug Flegel, >> Dan, with um our previous action to uh pass the budget reg uh budget budget preparation resolution and the discussion of not only this project, but a couple projects we're going to be talking about here shortly. Are we able to put together um a bit more of a tangible three
059to fiveyear capital budget projection or forecast to solidify a bit more of our intentions? To tie back on what Wes shared is, you know, when our term is up, we want to leave the next generation in a little bit better spot than what um we're working with. And rather than taking a reactive approach and well we need to work with this and work with this if we can be a bit more proactive are we able to put a 3 to fiveyear capital plan in place as part of this budget process. >> We we absolutely we already have a three to we have a plan that goes much farther than that already that we can share at a future meeting with you. >> Okay. >> Um it's a something that lives and breathes and gets adjusted
060every year. Um, but there are very few things that end up on a capital project list that aren't already scheduled to be considered multiple years in advance. >> And and what would be important for me is more immediate the three to five year projections. You know, obviously we have to look out 10, 15, 20 years, but the immediate would be important. >> Thank you, >> Julie Simpson. >> Anybody else? >> Yeah. Is is there an estimate as to how much energy this is going to create versus what we use? And >> uh >> I mean I know it depends if it's sunny if it's not. So but I mean >> true that goes into the the that kind of is built into the calculation of the 14,000. I do have the information about how much
061it's going to it would produce. Um, >> momentary pause. >> Sorry, give me one second. >> Momentary pause. Dan Stanley. >> The proposed system with forefront is approximately, this is not my area, but approximately kilowatt system DC. So it would produce in one year approximately 786,000 kilowatt hours. Julie Simpson, >> we don't know how much we use. >> Pardon? >> We don't know like how much approximately we use, right? >> Uh we do. Yep, we do track that. Um the the way I tried to articulate it, at least in the information is um we spent roughly $500,000 on electricity in the district or uh in at Vernon Hills. And so this will save us approximately 14,000 of that. So, it's a relatively small percentage. Um, but I can get back to you on the uh
062the energy. We do track the usage of energy. Uh, but I >> I don't quite have that readily available >> because we're we're buying energy back at at a fixed rate. So, my question is is if we're producing um more energy than expected, are they selling that energy to somebody else? >> Dan Stanley. >> Um, I don't anticipate I don't know that there will be points where the panels will be producing more electricity than the building will draw. >> Okay. But yeah, we're not sure how that all is going to fall. >> Like we're the only purchaser of that energy. >> Correct. >> Okay. >> Pause for discussion and questions. >> Okay. Any anyone else? >> Jim Batson. >> Okay. Uh, can we have a roll call, please? >> Cotwall, >> I. >> Poland, >>
063I. >> Simpson, >> I. >> Austin, >> I. >> Fatson, >> I. >> Dashmuk, >> I. >> Flegal, >> I. >> Okay, motion passes. That's long time coming, but it's a good step in the right direction. Uh, LHS main gym HVAC replacements. Um, I know we've had some conversation about this. Stan, you want to give just a brief >> Dan? Stanley. >> Yeah, originally we have been looking at the HVAC system in the in the LHS gym. Those who have been around for a while uh have known we've had a variety of issues in that space. And so we've been toying around with several temporary issues, but uh the permanent solution is to replace that system. And so uh Mark's been working with uh our our um designers to come up with a solution. and
064they were a we originally thought it was going to be considerably more expensive. We our estimate originally was 1.85, but actually the cost for replacing that is going to be 1.28 million. And so we are we are very interested in moving forward with that. Um part of the reason we're doing it now is just that the lead time for HVAC equipment is extremely long and so we want to get this and the next piece of equipment on order so that we can have them in time so that everything's ready um at the end of the summer. Mark Kubman. >> Is that right? >> Yeah, that is correct. And the situation we have at Libertyville High School, that's the original equipment from the building was when it was built. When the building went to air conditioning
065in the late 90s, the only upgrade they were able to do was to it was original heating coil only. So they're able to put a larger coil in, but it only provides uh 60 to 70% of the capacity that we need. So on those hot humid days in the summer, we get sweating on the floor, makes it slippery. Um you know, for summer camps and that and even during the school year, you know, we have to monitor and and do some extra things to address that. So with this the original cost when we looked at it what we're doing is >> momentary pause >> custom building units to fit in the penthouse. Um so the original design when they looked at it, you know, we thought the cost was going to be a lot more
066because it's a custom build. So actually the pieces will come up. It'll it'll we'll demo the units and then it'll come in pieces and then it'll be assembled inside the building. piece by piece. Um so when we they finished the final engineering on it, that's when we realized there was a large you know uh savings uh according to what our um our estimate was in the beginning. It was very conservative estimate >> Jim Badson. >> Okay, sounds good. Um can we have a motion and a second? >> Poland moved. >> Second. Okay. And this is to replace for the HVAC replacement project at LHS main gym for 1.281430. Um, any questions, comments from the board? >> I have a question. Um, so you said the 1.85 million was conservative, but then the quotes came in
067at like 1.28. I mean that's like what $568,000 difference that's half a million dollars. So what happened there? Like why was what's >> Markman so much? >> Like I said it was a very conservative estimate in the beginning. Um when it came out they hadn't done any engineering. So to give me a budgetary budgetary price of what it could be, you know, they when they looked at the project, um that's what their engineers thought it could end up costing because it is a customsized unit. Once all the engineering was done, uh the you know, we checked to make sure we had the electrical capacity to run the equipment and all those things were put into place, the cost of the project dropped dramatically. Okay. I just want to make sure we're going to get all
068the parts. >> Yes. >> Yeah. We're not missing something. >> Okay. >> That's always the worry when the estimate is so different >> that have they considered everything in the scope because that's where >> sometimes we find that out very late >> and then we are just coming back to the board asking for more money. >> Right. No, this is a turnkey project and we added a $100,000 contingency if there's some unforeseen condition. You know, once everything is taken out, if you know, if there is modification or something uh something uh comes up, then we do have contingency to to to cover that. And that's the $100,000 is >> and this is >> equipment and install >> equipment install all controls the full package. It's a turnkey project. So um you know once they start
069it and finish it, the project will be totally completed. >> And and that's the reason for my previous comments is there's a disparity here. We had some overruns on the work that was done um this past fall at Libertyville. Um I'm just challenging us as a board and administration to tighten up the immediate needs and the um um the the upcoming 3 to five years so that so that it just it just seems to be a bit more cohesive in bidding as well as pricing. >> Dan Stanley. Yeah, we have that and we'll share that at a future meeting. >> Yeah. Yeah. I think that'll that'll be very helpful for you. We just haven't had a opportunity since most the the board members have been seated to go through that. So, >> thank you. >>
070We'll do that. Yeah. >> I have a question. So again specific with Libard uh with in context of LHS uh would there be any kind of asbestos abate uh abatement considerations that have to keep into mind because I don't know how the ducks vents and all those things flow through the building but will that be a concern that has not been thought of into the scope of the work >> is so we actually we went in and we tested I just got the results back this morning um so there is blanketing on two of the pieces of equipment in the in the penthouse that do contain asbesus. So, we will have to do some abatement. Um, >> Rahul Dashmog. >> No, all I'm saying is that's one of the big things that might pop up
071>> as far. Yeah. Um, so we tested everything that that's there. The rest of the duck work and everything else in the building does not contain the speestus. It's just up, excuse me on the air handling. Two air and handling units that supply air. The return air units that are presently there do not have insulation. >> Okay. >> So, we will address address the abatement before the project begins. >> Jim Batson. >> Okay. Anybody else? Okay. Roll call, please. >> Poland. >> I. Simpson. >> I. >> Austin. >> I. >> Batson. >> Hi. Dashmuk >> I >> Flegel >> I >> Cotball >> I >> motion passes. Uh next up another HVAC system. This one in at the uh Vernon Hills pool. Um this will be a summer 2026 project. Uh let's start by can
072I have a motion to approve the HVAC equipment purchase with train for $689,27? >> Motion for legal. >> Pull in second. >> Okay. Any questions or comments? I have a question. This is equipment only, >> correct? >> Yeah. So, this is to again to get it in so that it's here by the the summer. >> Yep. >> And then we'll bid the uh the >> bid the installation. Yes. >> This also uh includes for 57,498 of that price um which is uh noted as item B. That is all the controls for the building automation system to program it so we can you know run it efficiently. >> So everything talks to each other. >> Yeah. So it talks to our system. Yes. >> Okay. >> Julie Simpson. >> Any other questions from the board? >>
073What is the typical life of one of these things? >> Uh it's inside the building. They they say 20 to 25 years. And the unit we have now is about 25 years. >> Five years old. Y >> Okay. >> It's the original >> the original unit. >> Yes. Now, being in a >> West Poland >> climate like the pool, does that impact the lifespan? >> Yes, it does. So, and that's why we're we're looking at this unit now. The the unit that's presently there, um parts are very hard to get for it. Um um and service techs for that that that unit are specialized um for that. the it's called a detron unit. So we are um going to a different manufacturer and and doing a different type of uh dehumidification. Uh presently it's reusing
074some heat to heat pool water. Um so as part of the project we open bids on Friday uh for the installation. Um, we're looking at also as an alternate to add a a new pool heater, higher efficiency pool heater, >> West Poland. >> And this is part of the is it the matching grant, Dan? >> Dan Stanley. >> Yes. I forgot it was, but yes, it is. >> Okay, good call. Good memory. Anybody else? Okay. Can we have a roll call, please? >> Simpson. >> I. >> Austin. >> I. >> Batson. >> Hi. >> Dashmuk. >> Hi. >> Flegal. >> I. >> Cotwell. >> I. >> Poland. >> I. >> Okay. Motion passes. Next item is a discussion. And this is a long list of board policies that um are up for a first reading.
075So just as a reminder, we do the first reading, then we do a second reading in adoption. So, this gives us some time to ask some questions. I know there were some questions uh posed and I don't know if um everyone's had a chance to see the questions and the answers, but uh those are out there and we have some time to to review those and ask additional questions if you if you come across anything. But a lot of these again as uh as pretty typical it's either responses to changes in legislation or um adjusting some some uh links or some uh footnotes uh to match the uh u changes in school code or something to that effect. But um again we don't don't have to take any action. It's just a notice and a
076notice to the public that we're reviewing these policies. Any questions or comments on any of these that >> Okay. Uhformational items. Anyone have a board comments, events that you'd like to share? I have a few. Okay, I'll I'll move on with mine. Um uh note that for January our it's uh been tradition that we've moved our board meeting from the Monday to the Tuesday at the end of the month. Uh and that's to accommodate and give uh board members the option to attend the ED red legislative dinner. This uh um we typically have pretty good attendance at this. It's a very good uh program. you get to network a lot with other districts uh board members from the area as well as our local legislators. So, it's a great opportunity to meet them in person,
077have a conversation with them, have dinner. Uh it's held at uh this is held at Stevenson High School. It's a great place. They do a great job uh facilitating this. We get to hear some of their musicians and things play. So, it's u it's usually a very nice event. If you're at all interested in attending, which I hope you are, uh, contact Carol and she'll get you signed up for that. Uh, I plan to be there and I'm I know at least Wes will probably be there. >> Just a quick announce. Can I take your thunder? And >> Sure. Go for it. >> Um, Wes was invited and it has been appointed to the executive committee or executive >> board, I'm sorry, executive board for Ed. So, uh uh uh wish her u uh all
078the best with that. It's a it's a great organization and uh it's great that we have representation on that organization so that our voice can be heard. Um uh so that's a that's a good thing. Um the um just a quick comment, appreciate everyone that attended the triple I the joint conference um uh just a few weeks back. it seems like a while ago, but just a few weeks back. Um the um lakes division um and part of that was um uh a vote by the state board to approve lakes division bylaw change. So we're all part of the lakes division. I sit on the executive I'm the the uh vice chair of the executive committee for the lakes division of IASB and that bylaw um change in allows us to have two more uh
079directors at large for that uh that executive committee. So it's it's more of a notice here because I'm already I have my seat for another a year and a half or something like that. Um but this will give opportunity for more districts to participate and have again more voice in in uh uh that organization. And that's this is the we basically organized our our two um our fall and our spring uh meetings for the the lakes division of IASB. So that was the result of activity that happened at uh at the triple IO. Um, I think that's that's all I got. Any uh anyone else? Uh, you have a Nina has a seat on >> one um announcement that um the governing board at the governing board meeting we unanimously voted Dr. Jennifer Thomas as
080the new superintendent and that will of seed all and that'll actually take for the 26th 27th school year. >> Good. Good. Okay. >> Jim Batson. >> Okay. Um, hearing no other items, we have our future agenda items listed here. Uh, I will note that I will be absent uh for the committee meetings uh on January 12th. I'll be traveling uh back from a conference uh that I'm participating in. But there's uh uh anything else that we want to add to this? Certainly contact >> Mark. How's the uh committee agendas looking for next month? >> Um I'll have a special presentation for you at our next committee meeting in January on um a possible proposal for the board to consider. >> Okay. >> I was for a teaser. >> Okay. Well, I was asking if uh
081maybe we could entertain um maybe doing committee and committee meetings and uh the regular board meeting one. So as this um we can yep we can we don't need to do presentation in January. So um uh the board can certainly consider um you know maybe we can consider piloting for the remainder of this school year. Um dispensing with our um committee meetings on a monthly basis and moving to just our regular board meetings. Um and um we can either consider doing a brief committee of the whole prior to the board meeting or we can just roll into our board meeting and and hold those once a month. And I would um submit or suggest that we consider maybe piloting that for the remainder of this school year uh trying that out. And um certainly we
082would have the opportunities to hold special meetings if we needed to. Um, but at the end of the school year, we can consider um how that how that worked for us. >> Julie Simpson. >> Um, I really like that idea, but I think what we should do then is we should um alternate buildings every month >> so that we're still um I don't know being equitable. >> Yeah. Yeah. The um the comment I would have on that is we'll have to vote to change our calendar, won't we? our meeting calendar because we vote on that every year. Uh so we could do that in January if we want to make an adjustment. And then I would also suggest that maybe we look ahead to anticipate when those special meetings would happen. I would anticipate that
083around budget time because we typically have some additional special meetings for that anyway. So just so that we can sort of lay out what the rest of that year might look like so we can talk about that in January. I mean tonight was a great example. we had one item that would typically fall in one of the committees. So W le Wes led us through that item and you know often there's there's not a lot to talk about but sometimes there is. So I think that's a that's a good suggestion. So if for January maybe we just consider >> trying to do both of those on that on that evening. And I think that's one of the reasons why Mark stated that we could try it as a pilot to see how it goes before
084we say that no this is what it's going to be for the future. >> So we can try it out see how it goes including the logistics that you have one meeting in this building the other meeting uh the next month there a couple of times. If it works out, sure, we can then vote on what you suggested that uh this is what is going to be the process for the future, but until then, we can just pilot it and not necessarily have a full vote. >> Jim Batson, >> there was actually one other ite. >> Yeah. So just just um if the board is amendable then we can um look at starting in January uh the one meeting format. We'll we'll publicly notice the cancellation. Um but um we can share with the public
085now that we're looking at the one board meeting that would be on Tuesday January 27th which is our regularly scheduled meeting. Um and then in moving forward look at the one be meeting format. So if we go with that, we would be at Libertyville High School in January 27th. >> Yeah. >> Dr. Alban. >> Great. >> Okay. Um >> Jim Badson, >> I I did have one other item on my my list of of things to note. Um coming up in this March, I need to look at my calendar to make sure I'm saying this right. uh March uh 13, 14, 15th uh is uh the annual COSPA conference which is the national organization that IASBR Illinois Association of School Boards belongs to. Um I attended this past year. I actually presented last year. Um
086and it's it's a great conference. I think it's a great networking opportunity, but it is a national conference, so it involves some travel, so we can't necessarily have a lot of people go, but if you are at all interested in attending, it's in Louisville, Kentucky this coming uh March. Uh I again was uh offered a a presentation. So I'll be uh doing a presentation at that uh that conference in March. But um if you're you're at all interested, send you know send us a note send copy copy mark on that and we'll we'll look to see who's who's interested and how we can accommodate that. So anything else. Okay, that's a lot. That's good. Uh okay, motion to adjurnn. So move >> second des second. >> Okay. Simpson. >> Simpson. Julie >> Desmuk. >> Okay.
087Uh, need a roll call. All in favor? >> I. >> Any oppose? Okay. Motion passes. Thank you. Good evening. >> Fade to district 128 logo. Fade to black. End of meeting.
