Adam Palmer to present the 10-day enrollment and staffing updates thank you president clique good evening tonight I'm here to share our annual 10th day enrollment report which provides an overview
012of our student enrollment for the beginning of the two 2025 26 school year along with a brief staffing update certainly we are purposeful and mindful of our mission as we make these decisions and our district goals remind us of the standards we hold ourselves to high student achievement top 10% performance and growth and proficiency closing the achievement gaps and ensuring the success of the whole child these goals guide the decisions that we make around staffing and resources none of our work is possible without our dedicated teaching staff this year we welcomed 46 new licensed staff members 31 at the elementary level and 15 at the middle school level to support them we partnered with our technology and business departments to host three onboarding events these sessions gave new hires important logistical information and resources to
013get started I'd also like to recognize dr. Stein and mrs. Corrigan for leading our Hawthorne educator induction program for the first time we were able to offer five full days of training and the feedback from the teachers and administrators have been overwhelmingly possible or positive excuse me staffing certainly is a continuous cycle and as we settle into this year we are already starting to prepare for the 2026 27 school year the administrative team will use enrollment data and yearly trends to identify needs and begin hiring early next spring this slide provides a snapshot of enrollment over the past eight years certainly enrollment shifts daily so totals depend on when you take the count such as the first day of school or the end of September for the housing report as we've done in the past
014we utilize the tenth day as our benchmark by then most new students have completed registration all student and students have enrolled elsewhere or chosen homeschooling or and have been removed from our rosters so again it's probably the most accurate data that we can collect as I said this gives us the most accurate and consistent measure for our beginning of the year enrollment this slide shows how we build our annual staffing plan the table starts with enrollment from February 7 2025 and then advances each class by one grade level to project the following school year's totals this projection was a foundational piece of the 2025 26 staffing plan that I shared with you last February the last column shows the actual enrollment as of the tenth day of school giving us a direct comparison we'll continue
015to use this method annually as it remains one of the most reliable predictors of enrollment for staffing purposes so as we look at our enrollment along with our staffing I wanted to share our general class averages to begin this year you will see that our kindergarten through fifth grade is at a 21.3 student per class average our middle schools are slightly higher as we look at the core areas of ELA math science and social studies having an average of 23.2 students additionally is important to remember that our support teachers provide smaller groups through push-in and pull-out services so in summary I hope this provides you with a quick and brief look at our current enrollment and staffing district 73 is allocation of staff enables us the opportunity to provide top-tier instruction for students additionally we
016continually monitor these numbers to ensure appropriate staffing levels for the remainder of this school year and as a tool to predict the needs of the 2026 27th school year thank you for the time I'd be happy to answer any questions you may have thank you good job on that prediction that was not as accurate as it can get thank anybody have any questions for mr. Palmer I do see that there are some new residents going up like for example on Butterfield Road I know there was a new complex that they had built out there are they going to be in the Munda line or in the Hawthorne school district that's us right that is us and are we taking that then into consideration on who could potentially be coming in there for the 26th or
017will they make that evaluation come February exactly got it yeah okay we'll take that in account for the next staffing plan yes anybody else have any questions okay thank you so much okay I'm gonna move on to discussion items I'm gonna we're now we're now gonna hear from dr. Hannigan to discuss policy press issues 118 and 119 thank you Robin the policy sub committee convened on September 5th to review policy updates incorporated in press issue 118 and press issue 119 the committee reviewed a total of 34 policies with that being said the superintendent had 12 of those policies and so I'm going to just quickly highlight five of those and that are found in the board packet the first one I wanted to highlight is 7 colon 6 0 residency policy legal references cross-references and
018footnotes were updated in response to the ensuring success in school law permitting but not requiring inter-district transfers of students for certain exemptions the policy committee is recommending not adopting the optional language and only accepting inter-district transfers of students whenever a state or federal law or court order mandates the acceptance of a non-resident student the second policy I wanted to review is 7 colon 7 0 attendance and truancy policy legal references cross-references and footnotes were updated adding more valid causes for student absences continuous improvement updates were also made the third policy is 7 colon 3 1 0 restrictions on publications and written or electronic material for elementary schools policy cross-references of foot notes were updated in response to the addition of a definition of sexting and this is in policy which you'll hear from is Corrigan
0197 colon 1 9 0 student behavior and for continuous improvement the fourth policy is 7 colon 3 4 0 student records legal references cross-references administrative procedure references and footnotes were updated to restrict disclosure of a student status as a parent expecting parent or a victim of domestic by the domestic or sexual violence also continuous improvement updates were also made and then last but not least 2 colon 8 0 board member oath and conduct policy cross-references and footnotes were updated there was optional language regarding consequences for board members violating their oath of office which was reviewed but the policy committee recommends that we do not adopt that language before I turn it over to mrs. Corrigan I'm more than happy to answer any questions the board may have with that I'll turn it over to mrs.
020Corrigan thank you we had nine policies that reviewed in the student service department many of them stem from 7 colon 2 5 5 of students who are parents expectant parents or victims of domestic or sexual violence this is a new policy that's create was created in response to several laws requiring districts to ensure they have policies procedures and resources in place to ensure that student parents expectant parents or victims of domestic or sexual violence are provided with support necessary to enable them to meet state educational standards and successfully attain a school diploma as a result of this new policy several policies are recommended to change their cross-references and footnotes and update that language to include student parents expectant parents or parents or victims of domestic or sexual violence there are four of them 6 colon
0211 5 0 says we would provide home and hospital instruction for students in that category 7 colon 2 5 0 says we provide student support services for students in that category 7 colon 10 says we'll provide equal educational opportunities for students in that category and 7 colon 20 says we will prohibit harassment due to students and for students in that category 7 colon 190 dr. Hannigan noted this policy is updated around student behavior for the following things it adds a definition of sexting that includes criminalizing the non-consensual dissemination of sexually explicit digitalized depictions it defines corporal punishment permitting school employees to only use permitting school employees to only use reasonable force with respect to a student as permitted it requires the superintendent to annually report to ISBE by July 31st certain incidents on school grounds
022involving firearms drugs and battery against staff members and has footnotes for continuous improvement 7 colon 200 and 7 colon 210 have been updated to indicate that students may disclose any factors to be considered in mitigation of a suspension or expulsion hearing and that students must be allowed to appear with a representative or a support person and for continuous improvement lastly colon 7 colon 270 the policy legal references and footnotes have been updated it's updated for continuous improvement to clarify that students may self-carry supplies when authorized by their diabetes care plan and seizure action plan the footnotes are updated to reflect alignment to updated law indicating that schools are not required to accept opt-out requests for parents for the administration of undesignated medications and it authorized licensed school social workers to possess and administer opioid and
023antigen and their licensed professional capable capacity sorry this policy is also updated to reflect continuous improvement aligned to the seizure smart school act the policy committee recommends readopt all of these as written by press any questions thank you okay there are four policies identified for review within the Department of Teaching and Learning the first is related to the policy that Alicia first shared it's five colon 100 staff development program the policy legal references cross references and footnotes have all been updated the policy now requires training for school personnel on trauma responsive learning environments as well as training for specific staff members related to protecting students who are parents expectant parents or victims of domestic or sexual violence policy seven colon one eighty the prevention of in response to bullying intimidation and harassment and policy seven

028administration and compensation report each September the business office presents the board with a comprehensive report for teacher and administrator salaries from the previous school year as required by Illinois Public Act nine six dash zero two six six this compensation information will be posted on the district's website to ensure full public transparency the second item this evening the business office requests the board to consider the district's participation in the Illinois together purchasing cooperative which enables school districts to pool their purchasing power and achieve cost savings similar to other cooperative purchasing arrangements Illinois together is unique because it is managed by bespoke community cooperatives it's a public benefit corporation in partnership with the Illinois Association of School Business Officials otherwise known as IASBO bespoke provides administrative support and maintains a centralized platform where members can access and
029utilize competitively awarded contracts that are established by fellow member districts participation in this program is free and the business office believes that joining Illinois together would give the district access access to high quality contracts with the potential for measurable cost savings because we would not have to go out to bid lastly every fall the business office comes to the board and requests permission to apply for the school maintenance project grant we call it the SMPG grant this is a state matching program that can be used for building maintenance and repairs for summer 2026 we anticipate moving forward with floor replacement and Middle South which we talked about earlier well and nothing's finalized yet and the grant application is not open we're being a little preemptive because we know it'll open in October so I'm bringing
030it to you now so in October I can ask you for formal approval to move ahead with this grant are there any questions about the three discussion items I do have a question even though I already sent in a bunch of them about this co-op mainly because I don't have my iPad in front of me but if can you remind me like if we sign into this if we participate in this co-op how long before we take a look back and see whether or not this actually yielded us the savings we thought it would yield us like are we stuck in this for longer than one year like how does this work I believe once you sign up there's like no opting out you're just a member that's the way I believe it works we
031met with Illinois together to see it's new it just started at September 1st so when you opt in you have access to the contracts that other districts have negotiated and there is a clause that you have to put in so if we went out to bid for a paper bid let's say we would have to add a clause that allows other people to piggyback on our contract we reserve the right to let other districts jump in or jump out okay did that answer the question I mean I guess I would just think if for some reason this isn't working the way we thought it was gonna work then how do we get out we just don't pick up any contracts off of that platform we always withhold the right to go out to bid for
032like say custodial services that's something I would never probably piggyback on an contract but a paper bed sure which you have to put a lot of effort into potentially we could jump on someone else's paper bed and reap the benefits okay so it's only sorry go ahead no man I'm just gonna ask anybody's has any other question oh just to kind of build on that though so if they see we are so our bid because they are public in a school see that we are part of this and asked to piggyback on they can if we put that clause in there that allows piggybacking and it'll be on this platform with bespoke the only two contracts that bespoke has shown me so far because we're not a member is their copier bid and their paper
033bed those are the only two that I've seen both of them would save us money for paper it would be about four dollars and fifty cents a case for the copier bid we're looking at a hundred thousand a year and we could potentially do it for seventy five thousand dollars a year and that would be for your replacing copiers copier maintenance copier supplies so it's like $25,000 savings yeah I'm gonna have to go with Robin though I would probably just make sure that we are not locked in into perpetuity in this that there is some kind of clause that allows us to get out of it if we are not having desirable if certain vendors don't even want to participate because they know all these other districts might piggyback on I will ask more questions
034yeah or just perhaps if another co-op was to emerge that there isn't a conflict and we can only be in one co-op at one we can be in multiple we actually are okay co-ops this one is just different because you can piggyback on a contract mm-hmm some of the other ones that we belong to like the vehicle purchasing the northwestern suburban grant or co-op that we use to purchase vehicles they just tell you a price and that's the price that you pay for a vehicle yeah it's not per se a contract that I would review or piggyback on it's basically they just give you the best price that's the biggest difference with bespoke it's an actual contract you see all the nitty-gritty what you're gonna get what you're not gonna get normally it's a one-year
035agreement sometimes they go up the paper agreement is a one-year agreement because paper prices have just gone through the roof so even the paper companies don't want to lock in for a price for more than 12 months but if I did hear you correctly one of the things that we can already anticipate would be a benefit of it is the administrative burden being lightened by our district to go through those processes when we can take advantage of the effort done either by the collective or another district correct and that's what the other districts I talked to that are in it have talked about it used to be called Togo but now it's Illinois together they've rebranded themselves and it sounded like an exciting opportunity and it's free just just to ask though do if we
036join we have an obligation to put a clause in any contract that we write no we get to choose okay good retain the right when we go out for so if there's if there's a bidder that we want to work with who doesn't want to participate it won't stop us from getting who we want to work with correct thank you anybody else okay thank you thank you dr. Hannigan is there a superintendent's report there is first and foremost I want to give a big shout out to our staff and our students for navigating last week's map and to be a testing like many district it was a national outage that nothing to do with Hawthorne district 73's network performance so I just want to be very clear but I do want to give a shout
037out to all of our staff I wanted to be clear I almost had a heart attack Dr. Stein notified me of that but I did want to give a shout out for everybody's flexibility but I believe we finished majority of the testing today if I'm correct and it worked without a we're just doing some makeups so we were good to go so I appreciate everybody's our staff and our students flexibility last week I'm also very excited to officially welcome our new family liaison miss soul Capitola she has officially started her Facebook page went live last week so it's a according to Samantha it's official official once you get a Facebook page she's been working hard with our family she organized our back to school drive our food pantry and connecting families with community resources so
