001let's call tonight's meeting to order a thief yeah bulk present yes Nolan yep Henner yes Rave here Gorman here I need a motion second to approve tonight's agenda so moved second yes Falk yes Hemphill yes Nolan yes henr yes Ray yes Garmin yes all right please join us in reciting the Pledge of Allegiance to the pride of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands one nation under God individual with liberty and justice for all thank everyone for coming out um everybody at home watching our YouTube channel um Dr CERN what recognitions that'll follow um our public comments so welcome uh everyone who came out tonight to join us so camera all right we have one public comment my man I'm kind of interested in and so in fiscal I
002see a Treasures reporter we are we gonna be in here for that when you guys are given that are we leaving for that yeah well I'm kind of hoping that if you talking about that I'd like to know where the money goes that you didn't have to spend during covet for one thing you know where those expenditures are and who's on that um I'm kind of concerned as a taxpayer here that we're paying a lot of money to the schools and we can see private schools with less money doing a better education so um I'd like to see some more fiscal responsibility here and a more accountability and a board that's going to hold School leaders accountable all right and we've got an election coming up and I know there's a writing candidate I want
003to talk to but um that's kind of the main thing I want to discuss and again if you have information on what you've you know didn't spend during the covet and where that money went to we'd like to see that okay thank you is here to recognize our some athletes don't be shy Grace it's okay coaches all right just gonna have to circle around Circle right look at this place all right good evening everybody I am getting to fill in for athletic director Jeske so I get to steal a little bit of his Thunder uh we've had quite a bit of success in the area of Athletics and activities recently and so I want to start I'm going to go a little bit out of order here I want to start with our cheer program
004so up with me I have our Varsity uh cheerleading program accompanied by our two assistant coaches uh Meredith and Emily Herring uh coach Marciniak was not able to make it uh this evening due to a prior commitment a little bit of uh highlight for cheer is they want they were sectional champs this year and that qualified them for the state finals for the sixth straight year so uh qualifying for the state finals for six to eight years is is crazy I've been at the high school for eight years and just to let you know what a great job all of our our athletes and our coaches have done uh about seven years ago we struggled to even uh you know have a sideline cheer for basketball which uh all of a sudden we get to
005the point where it's difficult to even feel the cheer team to the point where six straight years uh in this year um they made day two and um they've done that four out of the six years so the way that cheerleading competition Works downstate is you have to qualify I believe top ten to make day two so they not only if they qualified for six years they've made day two uh four of those six years and uh this year uh they had the highest finish in school history which I believe was fifth place downstate so congratulations and if you ever get a chance to visit the field house while they practice it is actually just something else I would really put them up with a lot of college cheer programs so congratulations you told them
006they've got to stick around for the whole meeting yes I did we're going to quiz them on the on the uh thank you yeah so in addition to cheer we had a very successful Dance season and so this is um only the second year a dance program had to compete in the higher division downstate and they placed 15th so just like cheer top 10 make day two again uh you know you know coach Jensen and even coach Rupert before her you know I'd like to kind of paint a picture for you my first year at the high school the dance team failed that four dancers and so we go from that to some incredible dance coaches some incredible athletes uh making some pretty routine appearances downstate and now they are up a division so the
007competition is a little bit greater so to uh Place 15th uh they're right there on the precipice of making day two and again that dance program has grown Leaps and Bounds and I would put that right up there with any of the the large schools around so I don't know if we have any dancers here I don't think they were able to make it this evening but uh I wanted to congratulate our dance program for an amazing season [Applause] it's not just a with our sports that we're seeing success next I'd like to highlight out of our fine arts department the i-i-l-m-e-a students who were able to audition for a prestigious program downstate so these students needed to submit an audition online which is then scored and the top kids from each district we are
008district nine get to perform at the All-Star at the All-State performance in Peoria students submit auditions from all over Illinois to be in this our Central students who placed for District 9 were chaitan greywall who went for the choir and Jacob brayla who went for the honors band the kids were surrounded by other talented musicians and were able to learn different techniques while they were there if we have any members of IML e-i-l-m-e-a here I don't know if they're here they're probably practicing because they have a big musical event coming up and I think they both participate there as well uh so I'd like to congratulate them and also talk about what an amazing job our Fine Arts crew does with our music program uh I will tell you it's pretty renowned around in the
009Fox Valley principles are are really amazed with the talent that we have so congratulations [Applause] so I have some more acronyms here uh the next recognition we have is for ihstf the Illinois High School theater Festival which is held at UIC these students were sponsored by Miss Heckman it is the largest non-competitive theater Fest in the country while they're while they're while there our students rehearsed and performed for other students from all over the state our students perform seven shows of Shrek in three days so seven shows in three days is crazy uh but they they had a blast and um 300 kids auditioned for this and only 60 made it to the cast wow so you're talking about some of the top performers in the state so of the top 360 60 qualified uh
010students also had the show portfolios from CHS Productions that they had uh created to be chosen there were only a total of 127 company members from cast and crew Jack Jack Winkle hockey was in the cast Jenna demell was in props and run crew and Rachel Burton was in costume design so we got three in the Productions uh do I have any of those students here I know Mr strike was also very busy Planet they're planning on our musical as well but I wanted to just really highlight what an incredible feat that was so you have some of the top of the top attending Central High School in the world of uh music and theater so congratulations [Applause] thank you Dr testone thank you good job ladies all right about the action reports we need
