001here yep the Facebook order of business tonight we need a motion for the Board of Education to approve the needs of the March 20th 2023 businessman the March 20th 2023 closed meeting the April 10th 2023 Workshop immunization item and April 10th 2023 closing Year Mike and Chris thank you very much Mike Davenport aye Christopher Espinoza aye Cheryl Fuller aye Terry pavasich aye and Nancy report reception officers for the first reception the hybrid black schedule process review so I'm not presenting the survey results because it just closed on Friday at 4 pm which actually I think we closed it Saturday morning instead just catch yeah be sure to be caught everybody um and so today I'm just going to go through sort of the process of where we've been high and where we are I know
002we have a couple of the new board members here so we'll tie it to the board goals or I'm sorry to um the goals of the schedule overall so um so as we're going through the survey results um it's all about communication and making sure that everybody's voices are represented um and so today as I kind of talk through where we're at I'm going to try to tie the questions that we present in the survey to the goals of the survey I'm sorry to the goals of the schedule sorry um so for the initial schedule change right um that it was an opportunity for teachers so thank you um for teachers and students to connect during the day also for extended week learning um at least one day in class also to reduce some stress
003levels throughout um and also also ones was to make sure that students were preparing them for college in the workplace and to make sure that we're addressing students social emotional needs and future career planning on Black Days for the first goal um opportunity for students to get help during access that we took the first semester survey and we made a couple of different decisions on changes and so we simplified the schedule um we also streamlined and took out some lessons that were planned or offered them only for certain grade levels also we tried to allow for more study time we try to [Music] students I'm actually going to try to move this closer to you I'm thinking the game on this microphone's going way up we'll see if that helps thank you hello um so
004um if you move to the next slide here are some things that are in progress right now so um on the 25th and 27th we have a teacher committee that we will convene and a couple we do a couple of things then we'll review the survey results from the students and the families and the staff um and we're also going to again revisit some of the access lessons right students are still you know like the videos um and we try to remove some of those some of them are safe mandated we want to make sure everyone gets the same information some of them are pretty specific and so trying to figure out a way to engage the staff and students together without it necessarily being video based so we're going to do that also on
005the 27th we're looking at software for the student Choice program that the idea the staff and the students said like yes we would like to do that but the technology of the form was an issue and so we're looking at software that will answer a lot of the concerns the staff and the students had about that initial pilot also looking at interventions during resource first semester you remember the part of the survey results were talking about student structure making sure that students who maybe weren't using the time as wisely how can we get them to use that time a little bit more wisely and so we're going to be talking about that and then continue the survey results but we also sent an email out to the staff asking if you're not on the committee
006if you have any ideas why don't you present it to the president of union or vice president or me and we will bring those to the table we're also looking at increasing student support and study time during access but also looking at how the counselors feel about how their presentations went this hear what they need in order to effectively deliver those because those are really valuable curricular aspects and so we're also looking at that specifically with the counselors I have a meeting with them in early may also at the bottom you can see I have some questions questions related on the survey so those are questions that I specifically asked that will help us gear on how are we doing towards goal one so we asked them about the adjustments to the schedule how to
007go are you feeling better about it and then also the last three questions on the survey for families students and teachers they I took the benefits and challenges that were sort of our High Flyers our sort of top 15 benefits that people reported out in the free response section from the fall and also the top challenges 15 or 16 challenges that people reported um from the fall and I just listed them so uh they could select the benefits that they're still experiencing or select the challenges that they're still experiencing I think that helps transmit the transparency about some of the statements that came through um from the fall and also how they're feeling about it and I can sort of quantify it with numbers by how many people chose that um and then the last
008one was open response and so um you know those three will be there so on the different slides for the goals you'll see um questions that we're asking towards the goal and then also benefits or challenges that were available for people to select that also help us track our progress towards that goal uh 25 to 30 depending that's a great question so um uh when Josh reached out to the staff he tried to get someone people from both buildings um also have every Department represented we also have support staff on their um Josh and Jocelyn who were president vice president Union they're also on there we have two Department chairs from each building and also there's an AP from each building that will be there our principals tend to attend they don't attend the whole
009time one might attend one one it's on the other um and then Karen spartanus is uh covering for Josh while he's out on paternity leave and um you know we just communicated over earlier today and said if you know there are other people who have shown interest absolutely have them come so she's reaching back to some staff members to see if they're interested in attending as well yeah it's so yeah it's after school so it's voluntary um and we do it from 3 45 and 5 15 they'll do it twice so we'll cover half the survey and then our goal is about access and then we'll cover the other half of the survey and then we'll look at the student choice and interventions specifically um for resource and this is a new committee um that
010we did it in the fall as well yeah it's the same people from the fall um and so um you know they can weigh in about whether or not they see progress based on the comments and also they help make recommendations um and so uh yeah please so for gold shoes we have a couple of questions on there about deeper Extended Learning so we asked the families and we ask the teachers we're also asking about whether or not they feel that they've had they can cover the same amount of curriculum or skills this year that's a teacher only question and then there are several benefits or challenges available for selection so you can see um that whether it's a lab Class A benefit or um on the black days they don't feel like they can
011do enriching because they feel like they're trying to put in two periods so we try to balance it out for everyone and to encapsulate all the feelings that they might have with their experiences this first year because for the first year it's going to be a challenge and our staff students and families are feeling that challenge this year and um like Hank office John says he's like this the first years I was the most difficult year um second side this will be a little bit like I won't try I'll try to figure it out um so I was trying to think um you know teaching is a calling um and um sometimes it's really hard to understand the emotion that you kind of put in your teaching and when you're planning and how that comes
012off in the classroom and so when I was teaching on AP and District 204 um a long time ago and uh We've decreased from 52 minutes to 47 minutes I office and I added up the minutes and I said how am I supposed to do this and um you know I worked through that first year and I did and I got better each year um but the emotion that goes along with that I think you know it it's tough especially the first year so when you're reading designing lessons you think you know how that's going to go um you have 78 minutes and if you get to minute 78 and we still have six minutes left um that's tough and um so next one because you're thinking I don't have all of all of the
013minutes that I'm gonna get and then if I don't see them the next day I'm thinking wait a minute I had a lesson plan I'm stuck how am I gonna get it and then if I go to the next one um if my student is absent on a block day fans are you know crazy um and also if my students aren't doing their homework I may have lost time in setting it up I have my other responsibilities down to families and then in the end if I have an AP course and I have course expectations there and the test is coming up all of that stress can roll up and you even if your students are feeling good about it you may not be feeling good about it or you may in your discipline you
014may be feeling great about it but people down the hall don't and so I think after the first survey results um some teachers told me that they were surprised at how negative some of the responses were and other teachers thought that I was you know making it more positive than it was it's because everyone's experience is so different and also across content it's so different and so um next slide um a lot of concerns came out about how students would perform these are just grades over the last first semester over the last couple of years and you can see from last year to this year schedule the schedule obviously 2020 is not there because of all the things that happened but it's almost identical and that but that feeling right doesn't go away right so
015what I know that when my AP scores came out every year I sat on the phone with my partner who also taught the same class and we went through what our results were and what kids were and I know that we're not supposed to do that right because basically reflect specifically us but it does and so um you know as a a former AP teacher I I feel that and so I just want to sort of talk about the The increased instructional time for deeper learning that it has been a challenge to sort of roll that through because you're doing it for the first time not everyone teaches a semester class where you can try it again the second semester and so but I'll just say that you know this year's the tough year and
016then hopefully you know we are doing a momentum there on the second um looking at 2023 and we make such a big change for they not have been I mean I would have really been surprised that they've been a little bit of a drop off the fact that we're when we haven't yeah to me seems like a big win for me where we've gone through uh extraordinary amount of extraordinary amount of change so I this is promising to me yeah absolutely and you know now again I want to make sure that this is macro level right this is across all students so there are some students that feel like they're doing better um in this and there are other students that feel like they're not doing as well in this but across like across the
017whole student-body North schools there hasn't been a shift yeah okay all right next one so uh later starting today during this stress throughout the week we asked some specific questions about that um we asked about the absences um and being more engaged during the day that was also a question we asked in the fall so we can see if there's any growth there and also feeling how have we adapted to the schedule that is a specific question for staff um and then again benefits and challenges um I believe sherwell asked me if I had any questions on their last time about students who take the bus so I added one about are they receiving the same benefits um about the bus if my bus arrives earlier or am I think at the same time and
018so um I added those in there and then also sort of talking about balance foreign 6 on the same slide because I think they'll serve intertwined so whether or not it's social emotional college and queer planning but also that there's voice and choice for students since both of them were talking about future I sort of put them on the same slide so we can see how they interact um and so we have several questions about that whether or not students are using the resource time are effectively about their skills how did it impact their course selections we asked that question in the fall about how might it and then this is now how did it so we will be able to see the differences there and then also someone asked the last program I can't
019remember I think it was Nancy um if if we asked a specific question about being able to access counselors social workers and psychologists more and so I Incorporated that question this time and then also are the challenges and the benefits below specifically about either managing their homework load or not being able to manage their homework mode feeling more prepared for college or my student needs more structure um so you'll see those questions there foreign about using the time oftentimes it comes up about creating time during the day for a resource and why did we create that time I just wanted to remind everybody that really um is just more of a shift so we just took that late start time and we shifted it into resource time some students absolutely convinced that they missed that
020late start time and we are trying to add programming in during the resource time so that students that were one there at school so they're able to have that programming and we've been trying to add different things you know some have hit more than others so on the next slide you can see what we've done in resource this year so far one I'm just going to highlight so in case everyone at home is watching um we do have Western Park District in Woodridge Park District coming in this week and next week they're going to have a table in the Commons at both schools you've got an email students from your Google classroom and also we send them home to parents so if someone's looking for a summer job that we're doing that um taking advantage
021of that time during resource also we've been engaging a lot with the military anymore than we have in the past we delivered the ASVAB which was exciting we have 30 students take advantage of that we also had some military members talk about career opportunities we did a service opportunity for operation gratitude in the fall we've also done some College and Career Expo exploration there was a panel of graduates that came Comfort dogs is always a hit during stressful points in the Year Jen Martinez itself added quite a few activities along with it where we're making dog toys it while they're already in line to go to see the Comfort dogs and so that was a really a sweet idea that she had also the cultural Affair and activities Fair school safety presentation a lot of
022students still talk that that was appreciated to have that right at the very beginning of the year we have another idea that's going to come out here before we go oh uh can you explain uh what the ASVAB is oh sure um it is a career exploration test and also students can use it to enter the military um and so it's also a College and Career indicator so if a student scores 31 or higher on the ASVAB that that would count as being College and Career ready and so students can take that score and they can take that to their recruiter or you can take your score and go on to the website for the ASVAB and they will talk about your aptitude in different careers outside of the military so you can it can
023show you what you would be what your app student is for careers in and out of the military so I'm not always this opportunity to just double down on what Brian just shared because I think it's important concept that kind of got lost as we run into the school year and remember last year at this time like masks were just starting to come off it is a tumultuous time to absorb the change that we're proposing that was going to happen but this is a key one that has come up over the course of the year right the concern of this free time too much free time on the Block days and really before on Monday during that late start a student might sleep in like off for breakfast with their friends those kinds of things
024but we didn't have all of our programming or or resources available to a student during that time now when that time slides into the middle of the day on that one block day where it falls so we're talking about one day where that falls just like it was one day a week before now we can offer all the resources that sit in our College and Career Center our counselors our psychologists social workers Deans all of those kinds of things and then even in this first year as we're just getting up and running all of these other opportunities were available to students during that resource time that wouldn't have been available in the past during the late start time this is just in year one is we're starting to get things up and going so it
025feels different obviously because it is different but the time shift is pretty equivalent between last year of free time unstructured time to this year to where it falls in resource it's just it's something that we probably should have been better at pointing out I should have done better myself pointing this out last year at this time because we were looking to make that change I will just say it was a little tumultuous at that time so if I was to go back this is one thing I would have done better for our community of explaining like how that shift in time works it was one day a week before it's still one day a week now but we can offer so many more opportunities for kids in that time than we could in the old
026structure so now I'll turn over a life if something else he's working so because that is something that we hear from a lot of parents that my child has this waste of time so the takeaway from this is to kind of push your students we'll talk to that teacher to get some extra help right use that time productively but really if they did that once in a year this year and last year they just slept in every Monday it's already more productive this year than it was in the past right if if a student sat down with their friends and worked to study for a test or collaborated on a project or even socialize with a friend when they would have been in bed before you know any of those things are more productive than
027just being in their house sleeping in on a Monday morning right that now there's all of these structured and unstructured opportunities that now are available to students that one day a week just like before that they have with us and for families that that feel like there needs to be more structure that this is a reminder that the committee that we're talking about for students who are struggling in school and that maybe they're not using that research time as effectively as we had hoped that we're going to start talking about intervention programs and entrance and exit criteria for that for students who need a little bit more structure during that time yeah and the next one okay so um I think it was gosh it was February um when I had presented on something and
028um a Community member had talked about the SAT and talking about the school day and I left the meeting and I had taken my notes and I started thinking like sat school day how can I make that work um and so this is an idea that we're going to try out for next year so um we're going to offer SAT prep at both schools during resource it is something that students will be able to sign up for juniors will have first shot at it and we're going to have an English prep teacher and a math prep teacher for each of the resource periods um and so um that's then we can take 25 students for English in a session 25 students from math and we offer six sessions we should be able to address about
029450 students on the English section and 450 students on the math section it would be free of charge to students and so they'll be able to register we'll probably do it old school like go to the College and Career Center and sign up to prevent any sort of technological issues things like that and you know a student if they don't want to sign up for the English and they want to only sign up for the math great also for students who are needing a brush up before the nmsqt there's a session that does that other students that just want to brush up before the school day sat session six all four of them happen before the school day sat and then if there are open seats we'll move into the sophomore class and we'll offer
030it there too so offering more structured things that students can sign up for is is the direction that we're also moving so this is hopefully addressing some uh concerns for either structured resource also about the SAT and so I'm excited to start doing that I'm starting to work with Gina on a description to be able to post it and then once we have those four people hired we will work through the summer to talk about what those sessions will look like and I'll be reaching out to staff if they would like to participate in how those lessons are structured as well I like that a lot so we have it'll be more of a first time this opinion yeah I mean every time I think like oh this is going to be a packed house
031so um I do think that students um yes it will be first come first serve and we'll have I think we're going to do just the old school sign up um but I do think that students at the beginning of the year like if they're the some students are going to want to roll through and do it in the winter some students are going to want to do a record for the SAT other students are going to want to do it before the mmsqt so I do think that students will tend to space that time out also because it's a 60-minute uh it would be like 60 minute lesson that they would still have about 20 minutes of a resource available to them so I think that that makes it a good use of a
032lot of their time but they still have a little bit of their social time if they need it and so I'm excited to continue to explore this with Gina and work on this through the summer you know we're also dilated with information so everybody's information yeah I think how are you going to I think I've asked this one advertisers to the students to make sure that they know it's available to them and two stars for you yeah we're definitely so um with the first session being August 29th 30th that's the second week of school um so I do think that we're going to advertise it at the beginning or the end of the school year this year but this summer it erases a lot um so um I do we're as we do the back
033to school push that I have to work with Arwen and Courtney with their messaging um also with on the first day of school it's you know a half day for freshmen half day for juniors and seniors are or maybe it's freshmen and sophomores through seniors um that we'll have to promote it there as well there's a couple of there's like a large presentation that happens and then they go through their different classes and then we would do it at the beginning of the day on one of the days of the week so they had an opportunity to really hear about it both long term and short-term do you have teachers maybe targeting some things that they know are going to need it I think that to sign up for the first session I don't know
034if teachers will be able to Target students yes but I do think that as students are you know working through their classes teachers mates say like hey if you haven't signed up for it you might want to um because teachers tend to know which students are going to Excel and which ones aren't yeah and but I do think that you know with the SAT and not not to go on a tangent but the SAT possibly going to being online next year um that you know pushing out Khan Academy practice is going to be super important so one of the things with this one as well that the tutors would be working with them through Khan Academy so that they're practicing between sessions so they're not only getting the problem but they're also getting used to
035taking a test online so it looks like it does but do they line up with the other dates during the year when the SAT is given it's like the December test kind of yes I didn't necessarily so to get the four sessions and I was like all right I have to have it before the school day sat and I have to have a session where most of the sessions are done before they take the mmsqt um and then the rest of them not like you know if there's not a resource week because of Acts I couldn't use that week so this this is basically almost every week throughout the year yeah I was so excited when I saw this seriously so so um there's access teachers you get to see them all four years so
036in terms of a teacher knowing the student there's there's actually a chance that a student a teacher would know a student well enough at the beginning of the year to suggest so as because of our new schedule second this is a I love that this is a student Choice thing right they get to own it I'm deciding to do this it's available to all students not just the students whose parents can afford to pay for right and I I certainly would have loved this for my students so I just just another huge benefit to you know our schedule allowing this sort of thing to happen is just fantastic one of the reasons why economics are a great predictor of test scores yes because those families to open these opportunities up before students do and then
037set those expectations and then confine the time to get students to those things and all of those things with this being free to all of our students starting with our Juniors it would be available during the school school day when they have time set aside to do these kinds of things makes it a huge value added for our family the student choice piece of it and if you're a student who isn't looking to go on to college and does not feel like you need to invest as much in prepared for sat you're not being forced to do that and that that's that's what's wonderful about that he said that it was totally new I thought this was just shifting around whether it's something totally moves no it's totally new and this is these are the
038these are the types of things and what you saw in the last slide that as our schedule is our years gain momentum and traction that these things go into place that if you were to say Well we'd like to go to a schedule where students have less time people will be like but what about the free sat Pro what about the ASVAB what about yeah the you know the job fairs what about you know these are all these new opportunities that we have the opportunity to build in the schedule in which it appears now that we couldn't have done before like there just wasn't time in the day to make these things occur and as Ryan said like you can offer this up the students still can do this and still have some time to
039get some homework done or stop by and get help or see our counselor those kinds of things because we're not taking up the entire resource so these are the things this is what back when I was a tech guy these are the changes that we would call transformative like once you can't take that away otherwise people are upset that you took away that it's like once you get used to having Wi-Fi and somebody takes that away from you you feel like you've lost something what we were trying to do is put in these opportunities that are like that that are you know so strong and transformative that you can't take them away without introducing the experience but these things take time to build I'd be surprised but do we have any sense as to how
040many of our students currently go through the prep you know we don't there's not like a certain yeah I wouldn't say that there's like a program that we have kids sign up for anything like that outside vendor or anything like that but I guess the question really boils down to you know this is like 10 of the student population percent of our Juniors could Avail themselves that's 450 students for English and math at each campus so and so the the numbers at the bottom that that could be for north and for South so it's uh we don't expect so all students would want to do those subjects yeah some might just want to pick right yes I would I mean I'm a strong English student so I would only do it for math um but
041I know other people that are great at math but they just grammar he needs them so there's going to be some students that this isn't where they don't feel like they need this for their future plan so it wouldn't be something that they put their time in you know they choose to use their time in other ways so [Music] you know if um that just like asking for the staff for ideas or hearing Community ideas that just you know talking with different people that that's how these things come about and so um you know if anyone has any suggestions for other programs like this you can always send them to me in the email um or you can give me a call and I'm happy to explore them so that's very the Staffing I think
042you touched on a little bit but are you having teaches sort of volunteer um so Minnesota would be external people or because the staff they're doing like pde they're doing planning they're collaborating I can't I couldn't ask a staff member to do that for sure and then the next slide is just a reminder of the shift that we made also um based on the feedback from this year um also uh it falls under a goal um four and six by having students be able to make that choice so students who were in fourth period resource that was in the middle of the day that they were unable to access the same choices that fifth and sixth period resource kids did so we shifted that also concerns about see lunch being so late and then also
043for announcements specifically students saying that sometimes they didn't know about some of these resource opportunities that those announcements are now specifically during access and so that it doesn't conflict with class periods and then go five um so it's about increased time for teachers to participate in professional learning with colleagues we have several questions on the survey about that um that we need some adjustments to our professional learning instead of it being structured professional learning as a group that those personalized professional learning which has been something that the staff has loved over the last couple of years and so we add that back in so we asked like do you feel like that has helped um also about implementing the classroom also a common experience has been something that we've been working on how confident are
044they that they'll be on point at the end of the year um and then also in the benefits and challenges we give sort of both sides of that you know either I have more time to prepare for classes or I have less time and I'm struggling to keep up with my workload so we'll be able to see the percentage breakdowns of staff members that have chosen either so that we can sort of monitor our progress on goal five as well so I will be back in two weeks and I will so I started you know kind of taking the information um down and I'm sort of organizing it right now um I'll do that throughout the week I'm presenting a cabinet next week we also meet with the district leadership team next week meeting with
045the staff committees next week and then after all of that I will be back here to report out and um yeah so that's it does anyone have any other questions for me all right I love the process that you're going through to analyze the schedule you know the alignment with the goals looking and asking specific questions about how it relates to the goals I think it's it's a very logical relatable about measuring the success in in deficits and and addressing those things is it gets past all the sort of I don't I just didn't like it or do the kids got too much instruction we can actually look at the data and and how align through the goals is this is the right way to go about doing it so kudos to you thank you
046very much yeah thank you next topic is the third quarter financial report is this going to be as exciting our revenues and expenditures are right in line with expectations so we're we're right on target where we should be at this time of the year this is just a quick overview of our revenues and you can see that we're pretty much 97 collected which is typical this time and our expenditures right around 70 percent at this time of the year is is correct so we're spot on with that um one thing I should have mentioned on the revenues a couple of items to highlight you'll see the entrance of hum is is up finally so it rates up so that's you know helped us in the other area is that the state has been making their
047payments on a regular basis so they're not behind um that so that's good on our expenditures we've got a couple of line items that are a little higher than what we anticipated and then we have a couple of line items they're a little bit lower so it all just balances out to the next one and so right now our fund balances look pretty strong we're in pretty good shape any questions there's no surprises tax rates this is an exciting chart actually we've been using this for years it's the first one to ever catch me with a mistake and it was a funding changed they dropped the percentage cap for the educational fund you know that specific great ceilings which I'm sure none of you but it was it was you know they eliminated that Mr
048Steele okay good zero output as everybody knows [Music] the only school that has greater extension basis is Hinsdale they had Oak Brook and some very expensive buildings there that emblems that I think they're just over 6 billion foreign [Music] tax cap which is the first time we've had something over two percent in a long time um refunds when there's a loss due to a the extension goes out and before the tax bills are figured in at that point if someone makes a correction in a real what we need well this is now in this system that I gotta give credit to the county we're going back and when there are aggregate new funds when there's losses like that they will um the fun part of that money back to us as much as they can
049which is a good thing so that's that's another thing that's happening this last year since this is the second year um so I totally here it is a 5.5 million percent of revenues it's in line it's it one thing that is not really bad but it wasn't as good as we expected was a new construction but the clerks cut off their books when they report it in the fall this time if they don't go back and check it all the way through to December you can be shorter so some of that may go into the next year and so we're talking to those you know assessors to try and get get the better numbers from that but 5.3 when inflation was seven percent is kind of a tough bill I mean we're going to meet
050and we're going to meet like we just talked about what we want to do by the end of the year hopefully but that's that's a really tough thing if we don't you know really don't get all of the facts in one year that's about it for that then I hope we get a chance to look through the report from time we are able to reallocate the taxes that we have from the original request we requested by different funds a certain amount and now is it at the end of this point we can because the county is going to reduce our request by several percent and because of tax caps and and so we get to pick a way they can take their money from as opposed to them doing it across all of the tax
051pieces I hope I explained it better in my letter than I just did next this is really something that um I've really worked hard to try and keep with keep our taxes down with a green calendar we're the second second highest in the in the seven districts and uh since about right that's the second lowest out of the seven high school districts in in DuPage County uh the only one if you look at the department that's that's 86 and the federal Brook and until we're getting over for able to get catch up to them but uh but it's consistently been lower than the second lowest for about 20 years now so I'm very happy to really the same room we do care about the taxpayer in our community and we'll go back to it and
052try and maybe what they like the adjustments we made and we've done issued Vines for one construction that we did at the two schools um you know we made sure that the thing out of the Dead service would keep the steroid unstable low right and we are going up far but we caught it at a time when interest rates are definitely low and we really did everything right and it was really a good chance for us to to go a little bit longer on our bonds and not ultimately not paying more just because we're going out to infer the payoff yeah that's really about that for taxes there's a property to activate when there's one adjustment that we make taxes Rex and orders a corporation that came in in 2017 I believe it was and
053in order to attract them to the area both with the Elementary District 58 and District 99 as well as the village all trying to put some money in the pot on winning the pot listing after when we start taxing this 200 000 square foot facility which is a huge increase to us we'll renovate some of the money to and give it to them to the first year we we gave me that 10 now after a few years there was ninety percentage I'm trying to keep those numbers straight so they're um we have made a 90 now we're down to 60 percent and eventually be zero and the good thing about using it this way instead of just waiting like doing it at Tiff is we got credit in the new construction area right away from
054work so we were a little bit more taxed this property right away instead of a more complicated device which is a tip tip they could have used to to wait 23 years before we can put it out so we have uh the accident that we'll require tonight for you to approve that we had a brewbate to rec center the corporation or facility Well I think the last thing that I have questions on either those two before we move on [Music] to double the size of it basically and this is the funding mechanism it's going to come from our bond issues that the working cash bond that we wish you didn't have because technically it goes to the building fund and then it'll go from the burning crime to a construction type of fund um so
055as far as the programs goes on with the construction and we thought we were going to catch a real nice couple weeks right up here with him during the winter again yeah so that's it that's um a resolution I just got to go through and pass some money under the operating fund yeah and this is just the mechanics of getting the money in the correct account but we already have the money it's just putting in the correct account so we can pay the bills so when you write the check it does it all right uh next one is mine uh this is one that uh DuPage County has been working on over the course of the year we have several of these Mutual Aid Response Team agreements between other public entities like the police the
056fire department the hospitals those kinds of things that if a major event happened natural disaster accidents any of those kinds of things that would be organization from the county level are requesting resources and then the individual schools providing those we've done them in the past uh just that's just how we work but this kind of formalizes that and provides like a leadership structure a training structure and provides a little bit of funds to the Roe to bring in some software to help them manage these kinds of processes so it formalizes what we've done informally over the years so it's our recommendation tonight that the board enters into that IGA really the cost of the district is 250 a year to start now and the agreement doesn't allow it to go over 400 a year and
057that is to pay for that software development maintenance for managing that response so it's my recommendation that the board enters into that IGA this evening everybody cried for something no time's going to happen we don't have to use it that's the main yeah totally yeah hopefully it's like Insurance you hope that you never have to use it doesn't it's a very small investment and and by competing huge dividends if it's needed yeah so nice to have an electric sign to let the community know if they did need to go visual assignment yes that would be a fabulous so these are the last two projects uh a little different uh this year I approached the capital projects and two of them I pulled out uh the two that are over here tonight uh I felt that
058we didn't need architect engineering and project management so I put the packages together but it's about to start other and I will project Greenwich these two so they're both at South First is the Fine Arts flooring um can I be safe thank you for saving the district the cost of that you know the cost so it's yeah we just kind of really buy that thank you whatever we can put back into uh Capital was another project done so um it's always good we received six bids for this it's a rolled carpet that was put down in Old tiles so all that would be up there is no asbestos and it's roughly around 11 000 square feet so about two weeks worth of work in Total the better that one is familiar to us we've worked
059with them in the past and the bed does meet our budget goals for the 2023-24 year so tonight I will ask the board to approve the contract to consolidate and flowing in the amount of 945 dollars the other project is the student parking lot again uh good good bids [Music] I put an alternate in on this one to seal coat and crack fill the parking lot that's by the dock area and it came within budget and then some so I went ahead and approved that and that's included in the morning team so this is the big lot though we're moving all the way down building up putting two two inches down so uh in striping after completion so big lot over there this will be at least a week's worth work or more uh more
060like nine days hopefully it doesn't rain but again this meets our budget goals for 23-24 so tonight I'm going to ask the board to approve the contract to Murphy's Construction Services an amount of 18 800. questions I don't answer just Mark mentioned we are on schedule and obviously we're out there if you've joined by there that's the side of the building's dug up because we're employing the structural and getting ahead of the game so we can open in August uh everything's going well uh nothing out of the ordinary yet I'm sure the music folks are more appreciative than that than having the acoustically would rather have the harder surface on the floor than that very much of it plus it'll last a lot longer in the carpet they pouring out so it's an investment the
061life cycle cost is much better carpet so I've gone and probably not coming back for many many schools all right these are both action items later on this evening Freedom of Information requests we have received several refilled them they're posted up on the website if somebody searches for fly on their website they'll find those those foyer requests a motion for the Board of Education to approve the consented we need a motion for the Board of Education to approve the consent agendas presented which includes the Personnel report appointment Administration appointment certified appointment classified transfer position exempt transfer position classified the Personnel report honorable discharge excuse me honorable dismissal certified resignation certified resignation classified the Personnel report salary and benefits wage increase classified wage increase administrative the financial Pages the student trips 2023 to 2024 amended under
