001yes please join the united us of america and to the republic for which it stands one nation under god indivisible with liberty and justice thank everyone for coming out after a probably a hectic day dr stewart you'd like to recognize anyone individually it was a very rewarding day so we're very excited we were actually out in buildings today watching the students come back and get off the buses and enter the schools administration been working hard teachers have been working hard tonight we have some of our administration with us some that will be giving reports and we have president vice president of the cea joining us tonight thank you for being here normally going to public comment we don't have any deceiving so we'll go on to action reports i need a motion second to discuss
002and approve the consent agenda so moved second in your board packet you have your revenue and expenditure summary reports revenues are currently at 2.36 compared to 3.04 a year ago expenditures are at 6.26 percent compared to 5.79 a year ago this month the district received 215 312 dollars and 61 cents for 25 new home starts in impact fees and no transition fees came in the bills payable for both northern kane and central are typical for the month of august pretty light and then our annual audit started this week or last week they were here for a week and they were here today it's going pretty well so it's going fast and i talked to them last thursday i think maybe yeah i got a call from him forget his name brian yeah warner yep well
003everything looks like it's coming up they're cruising um they've got i've got a list of things to kind of pull some details for they they've done all the field audits so they don't feel they're coming back onto property anymore we can do it digitally so as long as i can keep getting the stuff done by the end of the week then they hopefully will have it on time so we don't have to file an extension but they're under a tight schedule too so any hold up could delay us but right now everything seems to be clean so good job dicker you all right bulk yes yes melon yes rave yes yes yes next we need a motion second to re-designate great schools a hazardous bus route so move second the illinois department of transportation in
0042017 designated prairie view is a hazardous bus route because there's no like walkway over nestler road there's no safe way for people citizens in the community children to walk to school safely so that designation stands but every year the board of education still has to reapprove that it's still a hazardous route that would allow us to be reimbursed for the busing for those students to discuss and improve the veterinary science affiliation agreements so move second so these are affiliation agreements uh we have three of them that are coming forward this allows for our students to have their field experience and our agreements for this month include animal medical clinic of saint charles and then the dundee animal hospital of dundee and the dundee animal hospital of elgin are these re-ups from annual last year yes
005these are all which we've worked with before all right nolan yes grape yes yes yes gorman yes next motion second to discuss and approve the bid proposals for the construction of the new maintenance and transportation office so moved second so you in your board packet you have numerous bid proposals to go out to the various trades they're included in there you have a bid summary for the total amount and then you have a bid breakdown of the various companies that submitted bids and um the recommendation for awards the lowest responsible bidders we worked with our construction management firm charles mcnutt and our architect larson and derby on the project is there anything surprising dan and the overall like what the numbers came in at based on what you had anticipated we budgeted yeah material costs
006obviously are up in just about everything transportation costs yeah so it is slightly higher than we anticipated budgetarily but it's kind of the nature of the times where we're living in so like five percent ten percent yeah it's about two hundred thousand more than wow twenty-five just the structure itself went up fifty thousand dollars in two years all right it's crazy yeah but now we're locked in yes well if we would accept yeah once you approve it yep thief yes bulk yes fanfield yes nolan yes gorman yes last item uh motion second are needed to discuss and approve the tentative budget for the northern king county regional vocational system so second so while this is loading up tonight we're presenting the fy 23 tenant of the budget for northern kane asking you to formally approve
007this tentative budget public notice is going to go in the daily herald tomorrow and that will be on display for the 30 days that it needs to be this slide did not change from last year but just to kind of give an overview the northern kane county regional vocational system efe-110 it's a organization consisting of these four schools listed here and basically it's just trying to bring more offerings and opportunities to the students and gives us more collaborative efforts to pool their resources and give better things for the schools to offer oops this slide kind of shows same thing nothing new has been changed from last year but these are all the different offerings throughout the region they're just kind of alphabetical they're all offered at different schools and then the focus last year and
008then continuing into this years is kind of strengthening and enhancing the programs that are here um and yeah like i said nothing new has been added so or removed how many of these do we have kids from chs in uh so we have them in automotive servers and welding in the manufacturing right now we do not have them in the other ones across the way video production is one of the ones we want to offer from a regional perspective so terry's consistently working with our partners to try to is that south elgin is where isn't that where the production like broadcasting isn't isn't that the broadcasting but we off we also offer video production matt billings so one of the ones we would like to offer where we could do it here as well and
009the reason i mean one we have a great teacher here in the district and then south elgin's program they have students transfer to south belgium as that program right and they have to start their freshman year throughout their entire high school for that program so these are the reasons right now you're just ahead aside but you said that as far as this list that the other was we don't have students that already know these different why is that they just some of these we we've got regional agreements that we just need staffing foreign and interest these are ones we've agreed to to begin with not to say we can't expand and terry's consistently working on expansion also works with the alignment group that works with business partners so as we continue to look at opportunities
010across regionally for job markets he's working with those partners as well then we would add a regional uh commitment but this is where we're committed right now got it okay it's a busting um it's challenging for busting of course as you can imagine because we bust off to hampshire to different schools and u46 u46 buses to us uh same thing for d300 so it's always that maneuvering of school buses as well larkin will be a cna program i'm assuming that's what the allied healthcare is one of those would be the cna program correct and that is isn't that already offered or not is not offered at this time it's only offered for you 46 students right now at the current outreach okay in last year's budget i had that it was coming in the fall
011of 23. so that's where you might have gotten it it's been kind of postponed because um we're waiting to ensure the dual credit um with the ecc so that we kind of hope on that until then so this slide same as last year nothing changed um we get our funding sources from these three different grants perkins five grant is a federal grant um it's based on the number of students enrolled in each district and then with some poverty numbers the cte grant incentive grant is a state grant that is based on the number of programs being offered within the district and the number of students that complete one or more of those programs and then the cte education career pathway is a state grant that one we were awarded a four-year grant and that was
012used to expand the educator pathways at d300 and u-46 and then last year we had a continuing education grant and that one was a one year and that one's done so that was the only thing that fell off of here so this is our projected breakdown for the revenues expenditures the budget's balanced in both revenues and expenditures you can see that um perkins five well you'll see it on the next slide that remained flat they gave us no more money in the actual budget and then the ctei had a slight increase and then the perk [Music] the other one had a slight decrease so you can see here we started right now on audited fund balance at 540 000 and then you have your revenues in and out and you're gonna end at that amount
013a lot of it's the timing of payments since we're cash basis if it's like some of the stuff that was paid in june might hit in july so when i come back with the the final budget i might shift these numbers to more actuals that what happened in july and august to reflect here but then next june and july is going to be in the following year so it's kind of it's going to be similar to this may not be exact so this is the cti grant just kind of show you show you last year's versus this year um this grant stayed flat but if you look at within it the budget numbers kind of changed it all kind of flows into the student enrollment and the poverty level so that's why i like you
01446 kind of went up a little bit and then it kind of just shifted throughout all the other buckets so not much change but and then perkins this is our federal one this one went up just a little bit you can see 22 and 23. they give us a little bit more not a whole lot of change there and then all of the expenditures will become will be covered by these three grants and then you have um in your packet after this you have let's see so you'll have your actual budget here this one's not a slide so this one goes through um kind of shows you your revenues and expenditures that i've already talked about kind of the flow where it starts it is being flows through all the different the regional vocational and
015then you got your four schools and then same same numbers just in a different style so you have your education fund these numbers are the same and then and then you have your details so it kind of breaks it out by the guidance supply salary benefits services supplies and then a subtotal so it goes through each grant you have your ctei and then your next page will break down into your perkins and then you'll have the career pathway that's all i got any other questions questions for terry very good terry thank you for your leadership in the program definitely thank you rave assistant yes athletic director just here with the athletics and activities update good evening uh long time listener first time caller i guess in this situation so uh first of all i just
016want to thank everybody for the uh welcome to the district i know working with chris and a lot of staff there we had day one but the first five weeks officially in about a month plus unofficially been great and uh really really excited the direction things are going so a little bit of an update first and foremost this saturday we have the 301 back to the hill foundation event uh things will kick off around the high school at 10 10 30 with the marching band football kind of leading in all the festivities so bring some excitement in your appetite because it sounds like we got a lot of great food trucks there too so we're looking forward to that in terms of where we are at the high school athletically we had about 425 kids
017register for fall events we did have to make some reduction reductions in some of the rosters for golf volleyball cheer and dance but that's kind of normal across the board due to ihsa guidelines and then obviously with golf due to course issues but as it stands we got about 37 out for cheer another 52 for boys and girls cross country we got 40 girls dancers 109 football players 20 boys golfers 13 girls golfers 50 girls playing volleyball in about 56 with soccer and you know coming here looking the outside in this is we're going to support three levels of boys soccer which we've kind of been on that cusp so as everybody says we're the smallest we're ever going to be so it's nice to see those numbers come up and have those opportunities for
018those kids and then we're in the process i know too of uh had a lot of great conversations with a lot of activity sponsors trying to finalize what signals look like and just trying to do a better job of making some of those activities and clubs more visible to public students and and make them aware of all the great opportunities that this district offers so we'll hope to have some more information coming out with that soon and then uh you know outside of that great first official week of fall sports at the high school and you know obviously just with having kids in the building kind of having that cherry on top today so that's been nice so do we have coaches for all the different sports now like are we so our fall coaches
019are done i know that was kind of a kind of a challenge coming in we had some different things happen but fall were fully staffed across the board with some of the new sports we're offering we're looking to fill some bowling spots uh some lacrosse coaches coming up as well and then we do still have a couple spring sports that we're looking to fill but for right now we got the important ones with the fall season coming up and then we're going to turn our attention to some of those spring and winter sports that are emerging we've always had but still trying to find some quality people same thing on the activity side too there's uh we're still looking at some of those as well trying to fill plug some holes there much like with
020the activities in clubs as much as you try to get a hold of some of those people who are in those positions over summer you know until they're back in the building is when they really you really get a chance to sit down and talk with them so that's kind of where we're at with that i i have a chance to go to the um the fall sports orientation or whatever for the parents you did a really good job with the setting that tone um uh you know i've been here for a long time uh going to that meeting and um i really liked the way you presented information and um that whole uh like leadership and like representing central and uh i haven't heard that level of presentation before and it was great i
021liked it thank you appreciate it and just to add to that i heard some from the students that i guess you kind of like go through some of the practices and kind of walk through and that was something else you hadn't just seen before so you're obviously very visual uh or visible i should say and they really like that yeah that bill for that shoulder surgery might i'm just kidding yeah throwing some passes some football kids and walking through volleyball and dance so like i said you know it's the best part of the day is watching those student athletes compete and we're hoping to do the same thing with a lot of those clubs and activities as well and while we've had some ihsa tournaments where students were going to the state tournaments now that
022we're kind of coming out of that that covet we now have other types of overnight trips coming up correct yeah there's two in particular coming up uh cross country and again i apologize that we got to you kind of late but cross country is hoping to go back to uh del weiler park if you're unfamiliar dentwell park is where they host the ihsa state meet they do a regular meet throughout the year so kids can kind of preview the course they've typically always done it prior to covet hitting that put a pause on a lot of it but uh coach neal vince neil does a great job getting kids down there you know it's it's a business trip but it still allows them to kind of bond and and get that state feel experience for
023that to kind of chase that goal and and explore that and then uh with the activities that the i apologize across countries in september that'll be september 9th and 10th and then we do have an faa one that's going to be an faa national convention that'll be october 26 through the 29th we'll want to put that on your radar again another great opportunity for faa kids to experience a national convention and then just really represent central high school in the school district at that level i think it's an awesome opportunity good thank you so much thank you appreciate it all right thanks director is here with the update on capital projects i'd like to begin before dan starts to speak just to thank you and your custodians your buildings and ground staff i know everyone's

025kind of update where things are at uh prairie knolls and country trails cafeterias the interior parts of those projects are completed 100 kids are in there eating lunch today and enjoying those spaces a couple odds and ends of things in there but those projects went uh very well the exteriors on at country trails is lagging behind we had a few hiccups in the tail end of that project to get it wrapped up so we're probably a couple weeks behind but our contractors are working hard to get that wrapped up we've got it all fenced off if anybody's been out that way you know to make sure it's safe for students and parents to get in and out of there and we're helping direct traffic and everything so it's it'll be good it'll be well worth
026it when it's done so that's a little lagging behind the uh our building and transportation's building that you approve tonight's gonna start probably in september uh will break ground with intents of getting that under roof over the winter um so that'll be a winter project that's why we got a lot of bidders a lot of contractors are interested in getting some work on the books for this winter so that worked out well so that'll start soon and then on the docket we still have the elementary building generator project that we've been working on so those generators will be ordered here shortly and there's still a long lead time item but probably next month we'll bring and be bringing to the board approval for the electrical work for that so that'll be work we'll do on

029stephen brooks is our director of curriculum instruction 612. so let's just jump right in go ahead you're excited you're excited about ap he's excited about amy yeah music theory i like this so uh on the ap side of it um textbooks is chosen because right this class is aligned for college level so it is focused on your music majors and or music minors uh at that context in that level uh going into you know techniques uh presented for uh you know skill development in terms of sight reading uh the music minors of uh scales all the different kind of minut things that are behind the scenes and so this in a complimentary set of other resources will support our students in a strong way in our ap music theory course any questions about the text
030itself or like is this in conjunction with like band because obviously it's like or is it so some of our students who are contemplating maybe going down that pathway of going music whether that be teaching performing those types of things now we have an option where students can go to that next level beyond our specific performance-based only kind of curriculum now they're going to be able to dive into some of those enhancements on the kind of study side of what's behind all that we already do some obviously competitions where kids last year were very successful in the composing and that side of it but this is going to enhance their knowledge base of music across the board that way maybe a student who is a specific instrument or it could be also coral right so
031vocal they're able to work on some of those things because the the tonal practice that is enhanced within this curriculum really focuses on that experience so that they go to the next level of understanding and some of those ensembles and groups and those types of things can be understood at a higher level very thorough yeah any other questions i i gotta thank jordan and jim obviously they do a fantastic job at the high school and they put a lot of research into which book you know based off the list that was there that would meet the needs of our students so they provide a lot of context for me to be able to share here tonight very good thank you very much thank you next we'll move on to an overnight cross-country trip so this
