Any discussion? This was a very good bid for us. We anticipated it being potentially as high as $1.1 million. probably the first time and I don't know how long an actual bid has come under the estimate. I mean, I believe it was nine, if I remember right, nine biders at the opening. So, I don't know if works there's not as much work out there
027this year as what there's been the last few or what, but I have never seen a bid opening here with nine biders at any other questions. Motion to approve. Second. Roll call, please.

029District number 66, discipline improvement plan. Yeah. So, this year we're required by the state to create a discipline improvement plan. we've been identified is in their calculations being in the top 20% of the state in terms of our exclusionary processes of the number of kids excluded. Um it's we looked at some other school districts that have been through this very much followed the format they did and put our plan in place. It's not based on this year's data is the previous three years data. Um so some of the items we already were aware that this was a concern and we've actually started this year so we're ahead of the game a little bit. Um it's part of the process. It does have to be board approved and it was our only issue is our suspension
030rate. It's not it's not an expulsion rate. It's not a subcategory rate or anything like that. Um our reality is one of our biggest contributing factors isol not having an inschool suspension room. So we don't have that middle step going from you know detention to suspension. So that that makes that call tough. So there there's some things that I'm sure could have been potentially in school didn't end up being out of school that then calculates towards those numbers. Any questions? Motion move. Second. Second. Roll please. Matt Keys. Yes. Mike Kulac. Yes. Caitlyn Mason. Yes. Brent Perry. Yes. Jordan Stanley. Yes. Brian Spa. Yes. And Gersnich. Yes. Consider the approval of textbook technology fees and athletic activity fees for the 2025 2026 school year. Another board enclosure. So this is the yearly process of uh establishing
031the fees. I suggest no changes for the upcoming year. Uh free and reduced students do get fully free uh for the charges and so forth. So this is what the full price would be when you're charged for the full price. Questions? Motion to approve. Is there a family maximum on on um extracurriculars or is it just by student? There is a family maximum. We'll have to look it up. Okay. Can we get it added to this page? Yeah. whatever the family max and I believe there's also a number of sports max. Yeah. No, I know the individual student is two, right? I just didn't know if like, you know, you got a family of four or five kids, are they all paying for two if they're all in or is it only a maximum of,
032you know, maximum out of pocket for a family? I'm just curious. Yeah, but we can absolutely add that. Any other motion doesn't say it on there, right? Am I missing it or it doesn't say it on here, right? Okay. Motion to approve. Second. Roll call. Mike Krillac. Yes. Caitlyn Mason. Yes. Brent Perry? Yes. Jordan Stanley? Yes. Brian Spiva? Yes. Ann Gerson? Yes. Matt Keith? Yes. Consider approval of one-year renewal of food service contract with Witson's Culinary Group, formerly known as Arbor, effective July 1st, 2025 through June 30th, 2026. So, we are at the end of a we have a 4-year contract as a bidding process that we have to do every four years to get food service for Illinois school districts. We're at the end of the first year of Arbor, which was bought out
033by Witson's. So now they're called Witson's. So same company, different owners. Um so every year we have to go ahead and get certain rates approve reimbursement. This procedural process um because we're also a part of the community eligibility provision which means all high school, junior high, and grade school kids get free breakfast and free lunch. And this is part of the reimbursement process for us to get reimbursed because we purchase through the food service. And then I do all the um claims to the state and we get reimbured fully for that. and any money money left over goes straight into the kitchen and kitchen equipment and things like that. So this is uh one of our yearly processes. So this is us approving the rate structure, not the contract. That's correct. Not an extension. That
034is not extension. That's correct. All right. Motion to approve. Second. Roll call. Aen Mason. Yes. Brett Perry. Yes. Jordan Stanley. Yes. Brian Spiva. Yes. Ann Gerson? Yes. Matt Keys. Yes. Mike Kulac. Yes. Consider approval of 202526 amended public school calendar. So this calendar reflects what our school calendar actually is now after using three emergency days. Um has to be approved by the board then to be submitted to the state for our final calendar for this year. Any questions? When's the last day? Yeah, I was just gonna say what's the last 23rd for staff, 22nd for students. So Thursday is the students. Just wanted to make sure I wasn't 25. I was just going to say I couldn't tell what the last because it's next year. So the last day is the 23rd for staff. You
035said students are 22nd. 22. Okay. Motion to approve. You get that room. Matt, roll call, please. Matt and then Brent. Sure. Okay. Brent Perry. Yes. Jordan Stanley. Yes. But Brian Sper, he's also here. And Gersnitch. Yes. Matt Keys. Yes. Mike Kulac. Yes. Caitlyn Mason. Yes. All right, that brings us to number 20, our district 66 memet metrics report. Any questions? I'm curious the long break between, you know, we had a late spring break. Mhm. I got a lot of feedback from maybe a few staff members of that was a very long stretch to go without kids having much of a break that it started to get a little crazy. I think the metrics probably indicate that a little bit too, right? From a discipline and other I mean that's just something we have to be
036thinking about from the schedule, right? Yeah. Maybe think about the calendar next year. And lots of districts did all kinds of things. I mean I know people at work whose school districts took their spring break in March, right? They didn't time it up with Easter, but it's just something we should consider. I don't know. Maybe I only heard from 10 people and they were the only 10 people frustrated. But I'm guessing people staring at their shoes over here. We're not too far off. We should think about like next year's a little bit earlier. Still falling around Easter. So this calendar, you know, part of the reason behind it was one um state testing for the first time ever. We don't have an interruption in it by doing it that way. Um the second piece was
037we would have if we would have done spring break then we would have done Good Friday and probably Monday and then the backside of it is and the other piece we would hear is right now we we'd be pushing June getting out. It' be after Memorial Day. So it's Yeah, I got it. Yeah. Yeah. It just Yeah, we Yeah. Has it always been Easter week? Is that okay? Say that. I couldn't tell you. Not always. I don't think it's always been time. That That's my point is we do it. We don't do we have to do it that way. Speaking from my perspective, you know, I don't know. Earlier might be better. I had crazy kids, too. So, it was a little late. Yeah, I just got some feedback about it. So, something to consider
038for sure. All right. Discussion items. Schedule a board policy governance committee meeting. Yeah. So, press plus packet 118 is out. So we have two board members on the board policy governance committee. Um in the past it was Doc and Ben. So looking for volunteers. It's not complicated. I would be happy to do it. Wonderful. Sure.

If you guys are ready to vote, um, we're kind of getting into a tight spot here in terms of the window. If if the board wants to, um, change this policy, I'd recommend that it's approved in May. It's a tight time frame for getting kids, if they want to, involved in their summer activities, getting them registered for classes,
042especially if they're high school students, things like that. That was the only question I had when I read this. number one committee did a great job. It's super simple, easy to follow, didn't over complicate it, but we do have the May one date on this that we have, which there's no chance parents are going to hit the May one date this year because we're not even going to have voted on it by May one. So, correct. We got to get a date on here that's feasible for families to be able to react to, right? Yeah. And we we would use which I assume is June one. Yeah. Probably if we take care of this in May. Yeah. But we should somehow I don't even know how you do it. We got to let folks in
043the community know we're going to take action maybe on the 19th, right? Maybe May 19th and they need to be ready to go by June one because it's right around the corner, right? Yeah. So, that's the only that's questions I have. And I think we could even push it to July one to get people. Yeah. Okay. And but then I in board policy I would still leave it as May one for the future for future years. Yeah. Yeah. Understood. Ra Kaylin, have you filled been filled in on this at all? Okay. Um, so we are bring this has been a hot community topic. Going to bring it to a vote next month. Everybody else we have to as long as I mean does that look okay to everybody? I think it's super simple. I have
044a question about the sports physical. What are the vaccination requirements for student participation? Does that they're not for a physical? It would be the same as the the requirements for attending school. and we'll get that on the agenda first. Yep. You should have the same exemptions then too. Yeah. Very good. Number 22, information items. That was busy. It wasn't as bad as it looks. Yeah. Um so so 22 A through J is all from the same anonymous person company or um we know is at the very least assisted by AI. Um so I worked with our attorney Brian Bearer. Um each one of these requests asked for financial information for any vendor in which we spent $500 or more. And they would ask for for example for 2023, 2013 2003. The next one that would
045come in would be 2022, 2012, 2002. I think I got as many as three in a week. Sometimes I got one on Friday, another one on maybe Sunday, and another one on Monday or Tuesday. Um, they came in pretty quick. Um, we were able to deny this for these for requests to them being voluminous in scope. Um, sent those appropriate denial letters in the time frames they have to respond or reduce their scope and have not received a response. Uh, it appears as if every school district in the state of Illinois got the exact same request. Is there any I mean maybe it's something to ask Brian or even get a hold of our state legislators, right? Like if there's some sort of way to kind of quell some of this robo stuff, right? Because
046that's in essence what is an AI is going to make this even more common to just get splashed, right? It's already being brought up to our legislators. I was at an ISA meeting last month in Mcome with some legislators there and it was brought up. I know the ISA is also having those conversations. Listen, there's good things about being for being able to be foyed, right? Absolutely. But AI has a tendency to make it have a chance for it to get crazy too, right? I mean, our data system wasn't even, you know, around when the earliest dates they wanted. So we literally don't have that detailed information from back then. So that's through let's see that was through Jay um K freedom of information request from smart procure. This is one we usually get twice
047a year. They're asking for contact information for staff and it's their school's contact information. So that was provided to them. You're all right. Do we have any future agenda items? High school commencement right there. Oh, there Canton High School commencement at Spin River College on May 18th, 2025 at 2:00 p.m. in the air conditioning. I I would ask the board if you could um when you get there, could you congregate towards the concession stand? So when you It's just right there as you walk in the multi-purpose building. So you can walk out first to to lead out the the students. Kind of the same spot we were last year. Yep. Okay, perfect. And you ready for your speech, Mr. K? Yeah, that too. Mike, notice how he's ignoring it. Like he just shut everything down.
048This is what he's like, "Oh, dog caught the car." But no. Okay, I got back up again to freedom information request from smart procure future agenda items hearing none.
