Item three, presentation of FY26 budget for >> we can do the approval of the agenda shows here. >> Approve of the agenda. >> Approval of the >> budget first. >> For the budget? >> Yeah, the budget hearing. Yes. >> I have the wrong. >> No, we go. No, you're okay. No, we go right into that. It's okay. >> Um, yeah. Anyway, so >> show you need to approve the agenda. >> Yes. What >> would anybody like to approve the agenda? That's what >> Not that

002we have to. >> No, not that we have. >> Not for this one. No, >> you don't have to. >> Yeah, because it's a hearing. It's a hearing. >> Exactly. >> That's right. Thank you, Mr. Secretary. >> Um, >> crossed it out. If you if you took a look at the budget we sent out, uh we'll be at uh roughly 16 million and 473,000 this year. Now, if you remember, our budget finished at 22 million last year with construction and all the things we have gone. So, if you look at the history of our budget over the past few year, 10 years, we're right in that sweet spot of 15 to 16 million. So, we're back where, you know, we don't have a lot of big projects going on and we don't have a lot

003of things that we're issuing out. We're back to a fairly normal budget, which is good. Um, the concerning part of not necessarily our budget, but what I was telling the the guys at uh the finance committee is what we're getting from the state is state funding will flatline. Uh we're not probably in the next few years going to get less money from the state, but we're not going to get more. Now prices will go up. So that's going to fall on the local uh local part of our dollars to make that happen. So it's a good budget. We figured in everything from the you know we were able to get this year since we were able to settle last year finally in June uh get everything figured as far as uh employment costs and everything

004else. We did have an 18% raise in benefits which was in health benefits which was a stinger and uh and we were one of the fortunate ones to let you know that we had 18%. So that was a good thing. So other than that it's a fairly typical uh things coming in with revenue. Uh we don't have a lot different other than we still sit on some pretty good grant money. It was good to know that we're still getting our our our grant our uh federal money. Uh and uh so we think it's a really good budget. Will it land there at 16 million? Probably not as it did. Will it could be it could be more could be less. Won't be a great deal more is our hope, but uh it could be less

005as well. So we try to figure things on the heavy side and with precaution for precautionary reasons. So that's kind of where it is. Can I answer any questions? >> Any public comment? >> No. All right. Can I get a motion to adjourn the budget hearing? >> Move. >> Second. Go ahead. Go ahead. Anthony, >> yes. >> Rick, >> yeah. >> Sarah, >> yes. >> Sean, >> yes. >> Myself, yes. Andrea, >> yes. >> Corey, >> yes. All right, we will move on to our regular uh board meeting. David, can I get a uh roll call? >> Andrea, >> yes. >> Anthony, >> Rick, >> yes. >> Sarah, >> yes. Chanty, >> yes. >> Myself, yes. And Corey, >> yes. >> Did we have any anybody sign up for public comment? >> Nope. Okay. >>

006Um, scheduled visitors, student council representative. >> Good evening everyone. My name is Morgan Hatcher and I'm the secretary of student council here at High School. Our president is Taylor vice president is Cory Anderson and our communications chair is camp. At the beginning of the year, we created a list of goals that we look to accomplish this academic year. Our first priority is to ensure the student council is a bridge between the student body and the school. Another goal is increasing school spirit, emphasizing the relationship between the students, staff, and administration. We want to encourage all students and staff to contribute to building a healthy environment and work towards being closer or more comfortable with one another. One way we are trying to accomplish this is by emphasizing school spirit weeks and other spirit events. It

007has also become a priority to show more responsibility and representation of the student body as a whole. Despite our smaller size as a school, not all voices within it can be heard. We want to change that. Moving on, I would like to talk about our upcoming events. As most of you know, student council is in charge of planning homecoming. We are bringing back classic events such as Iron Man volleyball and powderpuff football. We've also decided to change things up again and bring back the hallway decorating instead of panels in hope it might spike inspiration and willingness to participate in one of many homecoming events. We've also put more thought into spirit week, branching out our themes to bring some more creativity or participation. We've put some ideas towards making the food drive more accessible and

008encouraging students and teachers to participate as much as possible. You can see the full homecoming schedule on a town's website. After homecoming will be the blood drive on October 20th. We're hoping to bring lots of attention to it and maybe find a way for people to be more comfortable with donating this year. Moving forward, we've brought up new ideas for our council. To start it off, we as a group have been looking at ways to start a coffee shop or beverage stands for students and staff. We want to offer coffee and energy drinks, not only as a fundraiser, but also as a way for students and staff to enjoy school mornings. All funds will most likely go towards any plans or events the student council puts on or hosts. A few smaller ideas we've come

009up with are anonymous positive notes on school walkers and having a more prominent voice in board meetings. Another plan we have is to invite speakers to come and talk about various careers and working fields. It'll be an opportunity for students to see and understand multiple employment opportunities and the options that are available for them. We hope to include more than just nursing, accounting, and sports careers. We plan to bring in speakers from all kinds of fields from creative to recreational. To close, I'd like to talk about our biggest goal this year, increasing opportunities for student voices to be heard and recognized. We want to accomplish this by having students come to our members or executive board with opinions or troubles they're having. We are still working on nailing down the execution, but we plan on

010having a table at lunch for executive members to listen and take in the ways students would like to their school experience improved. Thank you for welcoming me here tonight. Does anyone have any questions? Yes. >> Sarah Chanty. >> Yes. >> Andrea, >> Yes. All right. And I get a motion to approve the consent agenda. So move. David >> Rick. >> Yes. >> Sarah Chanty. >> Yes. >> Myself. Yes. Andrea. >> Yes. >> Anthony. >> Yes. Principal reports. Mrs. Anderson. >> You are not prepared. >> Not prepared. >> Okay. We've had a great start tour here at AHS. Um on the 23rd we had a fantastic turnout for beat the tornadoes um to meet the fall sports teams. Our clubs and extracurricular activities are starting up and getting new members involved. Our new staff is acclimating

011well and we're looking forward to a fantastic year. Our W um MOI athletes of the week for the past month were James Shuy for cross country and Riker Dar for football. Uh we currently have 33 students enrolled in our dual credit classes through Carl Hamburg. Um 13 seniors and 20 juniors. Nine of the seniors are on track to receive their associates degree this year. We have 34 students enrolled at GABC. Um I gave you an entire list of all of what they're involved in each one of the different things that they're doing. I could read them all, but we'd be here all day. Um but the the exciting one for me is that we have 13 in health occupations. So that's that's pretty awesome to have that many um young ladies and men going into

012the health occupation field and having that opportunity through a GABC. So our recruitment efforts are clearly paying off in those programs. Uh homecoming is the week of September 27th through October 4th. The theme this year is Candyland. We'll kick off the week with the seniors painting the parking lot on Saturday the 27th. Uh there will be powderpuff football game on Sunday along with crowning of the homecoming royalty. We moved it to Sunday last year so the parents could attend and that was well wellreceived. So we want to keep doing that. Uh the rest of the week will include many activities. We have dress up days, JV football game, Iron Man on Tuesday, soccer and volleyball games throughout the week. Um and then we'll culminate with our homecoming parade at 2 o'clock on Friday and our

013varsity football game against South Fton on Friday night. Our homecoming dance will be here Saturday night in the gym. And I'd like to thank Mr. Peon Student Council for all their hard work in putting together all of this homecoming stuff for us. I would on a personal note like to give a shout out to Ronnie Featherlin, Justin Raawraw, Rodney Anderson, and Rick Quinn who have all assisted me with some very difficult parents and students over the past couple of weeks. Um, I appreciate knowing that I have the support of the school community and the people that work in this district. And when things get tough, there's always somebody at my back. And I could not appreciate that more because we had some rough ones the last couple of weeks. Um, I put entity counts down

014at the bottom of my report. We have 274 kids at the high school as of right now. Any questions? >> Good evening. Um, it has been an amazing start to our school year as well. We're at heading. Our theme for staff this year is being positive and wear your positive pants. staff really um have truly taken this to heart bringing their best attitudes and energy and commitment every single day. We have started back up with character counts. Our pillar of the month is trustworthiness. I have included our enrollment numbers. Our total uh amount of students is 364. And then we're getting ready for our very first fundraiser at the end of the month. uh perfect pastries and cookie dough fundraiser will kick off and this helps fund our school field trips and student incentives throughout

015the year. Also, um this year the Dina students has created a tornado Tuesday assembly which is a weekly assembly where we come together as a school family and we discuss the six pillars of character and review our school expectations. And that's been a real hit so far this school year. Um Mrs. Long's class won the go for green uh challenge for having the most green light days for the last two weeks. So they for uh reflex a math program that we currently use. So they received a traveling trophy that lights up and they were all excited about that. Um high Friday uh high five Fridays are back. The football team has been coming over to greet our students. We'd love to have board members come over or any other athletic sports at the high school.

016they're welcome to come over as well and give our students a high five. Our students really look forward to that. Uh, Beginner Garden has been um doing a unit on communities. So, I ask if you'd like to come in uh to beginner garden. Mrs. Ike would love to have you come talk about what you do and how you serve our community. So, please reach out to her if you're able to do that. Uh, Mrs. Ber is the Abin Avon Public Schools Foundation teacher of the month for September. Uh, fourth grade teacher, Mrs. nights looking for reading buddies if anybody's available to do that. And I want to do a thank you shout out to board member Rick Quinn for providing heading with the new United States of America flag and the Illinois state flag. Our

017both of our flags were kind of torn and he saw that and he's like, I'm going to get you some new flags. So, thank you so much, Rick, for that. I appreciate it. Coming up, we have fall picture day on Friday and then we too are doing um homecoming activities and dress up days as well at heading. So um look on the website for that information. Any questions? >> Yeah, no problem. >> All right, student of the month is back. We will be starting September off using um the character trait respect. Respect is one of our character counts pillar. So that's where we are focusing this month for our student of the month. Um each month it'll be a different pillar and we have neat little pencils and bracelets and all that to give out

018to the top-notch tornadoes that we do weekly. Um that will be starting next week. the community schools team which as you know their main focus is to improve school and community engagement. Um one of the things that was talked about at the meetings was getting a fishing club started. So this weekend um after a lot of work from Heather Allen and Sherry McCorder um the first weekend of the fishing club started there were 13 kids in attendance including those that came with their families. It was a great experience. Heather said that all of the families and all of the students were having a great time. Um I have posted pictures of that event on our Facebook page this evening. Um we're also in the process through community schools of setting up a tutoring for students.

019Heather and I are discussing time staffing um and how we're going to roll that out with um the fifth graders and sixth graders as well. So, we're going to include as many grade levels as we can at our building for this. And then congratulations to Juliet Graph, the winner of the Abington Avon Public School Foundation teacher of the month for September. And congratulations to Coach Bdett and Coach Darst on a great baseball season. Um, the boys won the first regional game and then they lost to United over the weekend. We also are participating in homecoming spirit days. Our days are the same as the high school except for Wednesday. When they do Generations Day, we will do Decades Day. Um upcoming events tomorrow, the fifth graders are attending outdoor education day. ULC will be visiting

020next week. Um we've got a school improvement day and homecoming week >> that we met down at Avon. That's still those main people that are coming. >> Yeah, Carol still has works in middle school and then the high school has the couple that artist like immerses herself in our culture and climate at middle school. Everyone knows so I'm excited for her to come back. >> Good. just, you know, your enrollment off the top of your head. >> It's changed in the past couple weeks. Um, we've actually had four enrollments. Um, last I checked we were at eighth graders, which is the largest class that we've got in the building. And um, 74 seventh graders, 66 sixth graders and 60 fth graders. And then we have 20 uh prek students. >> I'm not fast at adding

021to the grade level. >> No worries. I knew we'd gotten some more kids in. >> Yeah, we've got more kids this week even. So, the numbers are growing in school. Thank you, Mrs. Anderson. >> Okay, today we kicked off our counselor app with students. They had the opportunity to download and create an account during soore at a AMS or advisory at AMHS. Counselor, if you haven't heard about it yet, is a textbased app through which students and staff can have access to counseling 247, 365 days a year from M's level or higher licensed counselors. When a student or staff member can have immediate 45 minute sessions in two minutes or less, they'll be connected with a counselor. Um, be paired up with a counselor based on individual posting needs, or they can schedule a time

022with a counselor if they would choose to do so. When students sign up, they are required to put in a birth date if they are under the age of 18, and they must include a parent email. At that time, parents immediately receive an email with an option to opt their child out of the service if they should do do or so choose to do so. Um, we chose to do this because mental health was one of the concerns that was indicated by parents who completed the Hannah survey as part of the full service community schools grant and as such we were able to pay for and offer this service to our students and staff. So, we are really excited to bring this through there and see how it works. Um, all of our staff K12

023will be able to use this as well. I haven't tried it yet, but I downloaded myself and I'm going to just actually try it and see how it works for myself just because I'm curious as far as what how quickly this is going to happen and how this is going to work. So, we're excited and hope the students that need to use this service will be able to do so. Michelle, yes. >> When a student signs up for that, is it stay anonymous or does it >> Okay. So, a staff member I didn't know if the staff member got an email or something. >> No. >> Um, >> just a parent, right? >> Yeah. Just just a parent. >> Just a parent. >> If there was an emergency situation where the kid was going to

024self harm or do something, then there would be reaching out for assistance. But not otherwise, we have no, >> right? And kids are required to when they use the app when they sign up, they're required to turn on location service for that app. And the reason being that way if a student was in a crisis situation that they felt that they wanted to hurt themselves or do something that was a severe safety issue, they would have a location of that security and send uh police or paramedics or whatever to that location. >> So hopefully we don't ever have to worry about that. But since mental health was indicated in the annery as a real concern by parents and students both um we're glad to be able to offer that through the grant money that we

025have for students. So will you even be able to know like say there was 10 or 15? >> Yep. We are going to be we will get monthly reports that tell us how many students are signed up, how many students are using the app, how often even like time days of the week that they're using it. Of course, it won't tell us what students are using it. We won't get like names of students, but it will just give us data to tell us if it's actually being used. And um because the idea is that it's actually used outside of school. It's not something necessarily that we expect students because students are don't have access to their phones in school. Now, if a student came to a teacher or one of the counselors and said, "Hey,

026you know, I've got this going on. I I really would like to do this. Of course, we're going to make uh a situation for them where they can go use this app somewhere in the school in a private situation, but that's not what it's really meant for. It's meant more for our students outside of the school day, uh weekends, holidays, long breaks during the summer when they really don't, some of our students really don't have a connection to the school or anyone. Um, and those are the times when we see that We have the most students in classes. >> So then I assume we would also break it down by age or class too. Get that. Okay. >> Yeah. >> Can you see how many students have signed up or >> I can't as of

027yet. No, I cannot as of yet. Um but yeah, but I will definitely bring data to you next month so I can let you know what you know what kind of data we're getting and what we're seeing as far as student usage. Okay. um teachers institute on September 10th. We had a full day for all K through 12 teachers on win-win discipline from Kagan Professional Development. Our K teachers rave about um the Kagan cooperative learning structures that we brought to them um starting last year and the beginning of this year. And so we decided to include K through 12 um for when we're discipline. And even though it sound like it's more tailored to younger kids, not necessarily. So, it's tailored to all grade levels. And I think we got very positive feedback from teachers

028and I saw all all grade teachers, all prompted dinner teachers very much participating in the training and so I think they enjoyed it and got a lot out of it. Our SIP day coming up next week on the 24th. Again, thanks to our full service community schools grant, we were able to continue working with C this year at the middle and high school. So, they will be here kicking off a writing initiative for writing across content areas for all um grades five through 12 content area teachers. And then K through two is going to be continuing their letters training this year. They will have trainers coming in that day. and grades three through or grades three and four. Uh teachers will be working with Miss Filter on some math planning and um instructional strategies as

029well as assessments that they um also have even all of our specialist teachers. I know a lot of times they get kind of left out and they have to earn CPUs too for the state. And so we also have um training videos for them to be able to get credit hours for towards their lesson. So uh you have I handouts as you can see they look really great. I would love to take credit for making those handout. what I was making was a really boring looking spreadsheet, but uh Gladfelter took the same numbers, made something look really nice. Uh so I'm very thankful for her that she is able to do that quickly unlike me who would take days. So Ariel made that spreadsheet from the numbers as you can see. Um pretty pleased overall

030because you can see the bars getting taller um as it goes from 2018 2019 till now. And so that's part Do you have any questions about Okay, thank you. >> Um, moving on to the financial report. Kim is >> Kim is not here. So, the pretty much the budget would have been the financial reports in that anyway. >> Yes. >> All right. Bill, superintendent report. >> Sure. Just uh thank you to everybody for a good start. It has really been uh everybody has done a really nice job. uh here we're into September. We're plugging right away. And you know, we hit our hiccups and I think the biggest biggest thing I can compliment our principles and our managers and everybody on is when we hit those hiccups, we face them and fix them. And that's

031gone really well. Just a uh shout out to our fall activities and everybody that's involved. We have some new people involved just doing a really good job. I want to thank them for their efforts as well. Um, I gave you guys on Friday a pretty lengthy uh pretty lengthy email and some things that are going on, which is pretty much my my the rest of my report. If you have questions from them, I'm sure glad to answer, but uh we are cruising right along. We're we're uh I think our kids are are are doing a good job as well. Buildings and Grounds um group met on Monday. We talked about a number of things. We had Daniel irons come and he's a field and turf person uh that we're probably talking about moving away from

032uh True Green to him. Uh he'll also he's doing some cutting for us during game weeks uh just to see what we're what we're I like to see what we're getting with Daniel and he's doing a really nice job with that. He's also the one that put the sod on the practice field for us over that week. gave us a really nice deal with that and that's gone really well and that but we covered it. Anybody on that committee want to comment on anything from that meeting. Uh we have a projection out list that I'll share with the rest of the board next month as well. But uh lots of uh he was speaking I'd like to tell you I understood everything he was talking about. He >> definitely knows what he's doing >> just

033a little bit. I think so. So, that doesn't take away, and I I I really want to emphasize this. Rusty uh Rusty does our grounds right now. And I I don't want people to think that we're doing this because Rusty doesn't do a good job because Rusty does a great job for us, but Rusty also does our buses. So, I'm trying to what this does is try to ease his pain a little bit because that's a once school gets really rolling and we have it's not just the routes. I think if all it were the routes, I think Rusty' be happy. It's having to build all the activities, finding vehicles for everybody. And I just want to make that clear. Rusty does a really good job. This has nothing to do with it. It's just

034about maybe easing him a little bit. And then we would definitely get a little more bang for our buck. Uh True Green is pretty proud of their stuff and Daniel would be the one doing the application where with True Green, we never know who it's going to be. So anyway, where is Daniel based? Uh >> Gailsburg now. He moved to Gailsburg. >> He's a graduate from Avenue. >> Yep. Former commando >> 2009, I think. >> Yeah. He really wants to work with us. I think he's very motivated. I think that makes a difference. Um uh we had a good conversation with him and and uh I he uh he he he I think he loves what he does. That's for sure. So yeah. Anywhere that's what we got going there. So yeah. >> Okay. Thank

035you. All right, moving on. New business 11.1 current openings >> special one specialing on tonight's agenda possible third >> uh 11.2ou twoou for high school staff graduation attendance. >> Sure. >> Uh Christy, that's Christiey's brainchild. So, I'm gonna let her explain what that is. >> So, when I came here three years ago, um it became very apparent that parents don't often come to high school um parenting conferences. Um there's just that break when they get to high school that a lot of them make it see pretty much whatever their kids are doing skyward. Um there's just it's difference. Um so, What I noticed was we spend two days sitting around doing nothing. Um, meaning very few parents. And what I also noticed is that not every staff member comes to graduation. Um, some of them

036can't, some of them don't, some of them just don't feel like it's their place. I don't know. But when I've spent four years helping a kid get to graduation, I want to celebrate. So, what I proposed was that we take Parent teacher conferences are required staff member days. They have to be there and if they're not there, they have to put in for time off to to miss those. So what I proposed was that we take the two days of their conference for the high school. We come the first day, meet with parents if they want to come and then the second day rather than having to be in attendance here, they actually have to be in attendance at graduation. So if they don't come to graduation, they have to take a half day off

037in order to not come to graduation. just like they would have to to not come to parent teacher provinces. I think we're getting more bang for our buck and our staff being present at important events for our kids um and being there for our kids rather than it being that they're sitting here waiting for parents to show up when they don't. So the to the union was okay with it. I pulled my teachers and asked there was conversation about um you know making it optional, making it this, making it that, how they want to do it. And this was the agreement we all came to a swap out night for night. So any questions. >> Thank you. 11.3 bill CTE agreement for 2526. >> This is the annual agreement that we have. It's Carl Perkins

038federal funding money that we this is the group through our we get uh pretty good money through them. So they purchase some kind of floats around from district. It's the best way to do Carl Perkins money is to pull your resources and then you figure out who needs what and then you kind of rotate it and and I they have Kathy White. She runs that office and does an outstanding job. So it really is a good thing. We do this every year. Okay. Any questions? >> All right. 11.4. Increase substitute teacher pay rate from 115 to 125 per day. >> We haven't increase this since I've been here. So, it's it's kind of time. >> Is it competitive? >> Yeah, it's competitive. Is it the highest? No. >> No. No. That's not my >> But

039it is. It is. You You're There's other thoughts on that. Um, but we're everybody's around that 125 to 130. >> Okay. Questions, comments? >> 11.5 Memorial Tree Planting at the high school in memory of Matt Winter. >> You want me to speak on that? >> Yes, please. >> Matt Winter was a 1993 graduate of African um high school, passed away tragically. um his parents um would like to plant a tree somewhere on the property in conjunction with the class of 1993 who are going to put a stone under the tree in memory of Matt. Um they they're very much open to where would you put it that it's not as his dad put it in someone's way or in the way of Browns or anything like that. I think we just like he was very

040active in school. They would just like especially football something maybe around the football field something that could memorialize Matt um where he would touch him. >> That simply takes a board motion anytime we do something like that. >> Very good. All right. We'll move on to excuse me action items. 12.1 consider approval for theou for the high school staff graduation attendance.
