003recognitions and uh comments from visitors. Uh tonight for our division spotlight, we have Mrs. Glattis Ramy, division chair for fine arts and world language division to tell us about what's going on in her division. >> Okay, >> welcome. >> Thank you. Thank you for your time. I'm presenting the state Illinois state seal of bi literacy. We have been um using this program to give the students who have reached a high level of proficiency in two languages. We started this in 2016 and the once the Illinois State um board of education accepted it and passed it along so that we can um Okay, thanks. Um so that we can implement it in our schools. We went ahead and started it up. Now, what is it for those of you who don't know? It is just to
004recognize those students who have received um the highest proficiency in either one language or two or actually two languages or more than two languages. One of them has to be English, the other one has to be a different language. Um this recognition is really important for those students who have learned a language, a second language because it is accepted in the universities and the community colleges. the students can actually get some credit for it. Okay, how do they acquire this seal of literacy? Well, the students have to have reached the highest proficiency in English. They can um show this through the ACT test scores access test and the AP language and composition for the English language. For the other languages, we can use the AP language and culture test. Um the student has to receive
005a four or five score or they can take the apple exam which they have to reach the intermediate high or advanced low which is really really high. Um once they receive that the students can receive a seal which is the Illinois state seal of biiteracy on their transcripts and their diplomas to show that they have earned this. Okay. And what's the purpose for this? We believe that languages are very important out in the world in the um community and also the workplace. The students who receive this are able to use this second language to continue furthering um their education, their um communication with the um community where they live. It is also used to provide employers the ability to see if they have learned these um skills or have these skills to be able to
006work in the workplace using a second language. It is also provided for the university so that they can decide what applicants to accept. Why would we need this? Well, it provides the students study abroad opportunities. There are many universities who do provide this and it is also helpful for the students um have this language to be able to go into different um countries and be able to study there. They can receive the university credit and um even community college credit. Um the AP language only allows it for the university. The seal um has the ability to be used also in the community college. And then of course pay differentials in the workplace. At the moment we have at least three graduates who have been using the language in their workplace. Two of them are lawyers.
007One of them has just um well actually he finished his Harvard Medical School about two years ago and I believe he finished his intern in the medical field. All right. So according to the Illinois statute that we have here, each public community college and public university in this state shall establish criteria to translate a state seal of biiteracy into course credit based on foreign language course equivalencies identified by the community colleges or university faculty and staff. And upon request from an enrolled student, the community college or university shall award foreign language course credit to a student who has received a state seal of literacy. Students enrolled in a public community college or public university who have received a state seal of literacy must request a course credit for their seal within three academic years after
008graduating from high school. So everybody is required, the public schools are required to accept the state seal by literacy. Okay. All right. So, LP seal of bi literacy. Since 2016, LP has awarded the seal of bio literacy to those students who have demonstrated proficiency in English and a second language. We have had so many students who have come through here who have earned the state seal of bio literacy. Our very first year we had three students, Edgar, Eluces and Iet. And then of course after that, our numbers have grown. Of course during COVID year we did have a slow reduction in number of students but then after that we have started increasing our numbers and this is the number of students who have um received all a state seal of literacy and then this is
009our past year we have had a significant number of students who have received the state seal of bi literacy. I think it is very important to recognize that the student we do have very talented students here who have learned more than one language and not just Spanish we also had students who have received it through the um German program too any questions no if you are interested I do have um for those of you who don't know um our universities and community colleges do have to provide the um credit for them and each university and community college has a particular different um let me see credits that they offer. We do have um IBCC here but it doesn't um state how many hours that they received. >> All right. >> If I could just if
010I just comment too to offer compliment and kudos to Glattis and and her department members. Um what we appreciate uh about you and your your staff members is the seriousness that you take with the students with the cello biiteracy. I mean I really equate this to the level of success that we also see in our advanced placement uh results as well. I mean it's because we have a group of teachers that believe in kids and communicate that on a daily basis to the kids. And so um I I know I'm speaking on behalf of the administration um on our appreciation for what you do. And I will say Glattice throws a great party at the end of the year. Sue Johnson, our former department chair, they but she's been working for several years now. And
011Mrs. Johnson, if you remember uh her, she donates t-shirts um as a recognition for for the students as well. So you can actually see the t-shirts they're wearing there. I think what's really cool thing is that that's early in the morning. It's during I think it's like near final near the near the end of the semester. >> Yes. What I love though is that it's it's very much like when kids get awarded their National Honors or the LP Honor Society ribbons, the kids wear those shirts with pride throughout the day. It's just a wonderful thing to see. >> Yeah, Sue does a fantastic job. She provides uh the food and the t-shirts and then of course we provide the area to celebrate them. We've invited all of the parents and it's always during um their
012when they come back for their rehearsal for graduation. That's what it is. It's a nice little um kind of send off for them. >> That's awesome. That's great. >> All right. Well, that's it. >> Thanks, John. [Applause] >> Oh, boy. Uh, there's no public comment this evening. Um 61.

And on that note with the foundation, um, did everyone see the nice donation that was given >> to the foundation? >> Yeah. >> This week >> for the Hillbrand that was that was phenomenal. It was very very nice. That's going to be a great, you know, infusion for our programs >> to help in the future. >> I didn't see it. What was it? Um it was an endulment.

015board committee reports 8.1 building grounds committee. Uh Dr. Oleski. >> Thank you, Mr. Jar. Uh buildings and grounds committee met on uh Monday on September 8th. Um, we had our uh meeting uh over in the Dolan building uh in the in the newly remodeled health occupations room. So, I thought that was a nice way to be able to to showcase that that facility. Very appropriate for the buildings and grounds committee, I think, as well to to meet there. Um, we provided a number of updates um on where we are with our current projects. Um, the SIP and Saver project is is still a work in progress. Um, and I'm I think I'm just waiting right now to actually get their billing uh to us. So, that's what we're waiting to to get uh from them.
016Um, the Charter Street Courtyard, we are at at substantial completion. I know that they had placed the name the letters of Laser Township High School on the the south marquee. Uh, but I know that they were still waiting for the other letters to arrive. I'm not sure if those have been installed or not yet, but they look magnificent. So, if you've not had a chance to drive on Fifth Street, please do so to see the um uh the the name of the high school now on the marquee. Um the roof roofing project continues to move forward. Uh they're working on the roof of Slip Gymnasium. Um that is on track to be uh completed um uh on time, which would be in in October. So, a couple more weeks. Bulk of our meeting was spent
017on the the A building. Um we have I presented to the committee the um well I guess I would kind of say called in our final drawings um for for the a building. Mr. Kamats has done just a great job compiling assimilating all of the information that he has collected from numerous meetings that we've had uh going back to the springtime. Um and we also received then a price breakout for the building as well. So, we're we're now in a position I actually wanted to wait until after today's board meeting because there is a motion to let bids uh for the A building so that way we can begin working on a capital campaign uh to help um offset some of the uh the cost uh for that. Uh projected cost for the building and
018this would include the furniture, fixtures and equipment would be uh right around $7 million. Um, we also uh had a had a conversation too about the uh lights in Howard Fellow Stadium. We had a major malfunction uh right before halftime at our first home game where the bank of the lights in the norththeast corner of the stadium just went out. And uh thankfully Tim Tomelloo and Luke Weisen were able to use their skills to be able to uh turn those back on. We do feel confident that we will be able to get through the remainder of the the season, but there is a motion on the agenda um to submit a health life safety amendment um to replace the lights. Um and that project would be in summer of 2026. And tied to that motion
019as well, uh, would be application for the school maintenance grant to be able to to offset, um, those costs. >> Do I have questions? >> Anybody have any questions? >> All right. Thank you, Dr. Bleski. Uh, policy committee, Mrs. Elhorn. >> Yes. The policy committee met on September 11th. Um and we discussed the um press policies which were just review very minimal. There wasn't much to at this time thankfully. Um so we were able to uh recommend that you um approve those no changes. Okay. Um we talked about random drug testing uh for the policy update and so we are asking for um approval for this uh drug testing to be added to our policy manual and we have done it for years with IVCH and St. Margarets they are gone now it's OSF it
020will be a an increased uh cost to us but uh we are not just using the breathalyzers and urine samples now we will do the saliva so that should make it easier and um easier for the nurse to test and on site and those kind of things. So >> that that's for extracurricular activities. >> It is for extracurricular activities and parking. >> Okay. >> I was going to get to that. >> Okay. >> Yeah. >> Sorry. >> Yeah. That's okay. Um, so it is proposed um that it would be for any extracurricular activity participant and someone who is uh getting parking, paying for parking, getting parking. So, uh we're recommending that um the board approve that tonight. And then there was more discussion about artificial intelligence um and uh a big subject that's going to
021take a year to um address and come to conclusions. A kickoff meeting will be scheduled at the end of the month. >> So I don't think we have a date yet. >> No, we don't. No. >> Okay. >> No. >> So and that was the end of our meeting adjourned and thank you. >> Okay. Any questions? Thank you, Mrs. Elhorn. uh finance committee. Mr. Burba, >> we also met in the Dolan Dolan building and perused the surroundings. It's very nice, very well done. So, uh it was enjoyable to have the meeting over there and see all those improvements. So, we had a a a lot to talk about at our meeting. We had kind of a long meeting. Um, the first thing that we did was we met with John Veti of uh of Bernardi
022and we talked about the funding for the egg building basically and the bond issuance and things of that nature. Well, we want to we do want to pro protect our $3 million of working cash fund availability and we need about four million. So John presented us with the idea of issuing debt certificates and and as a different way to go about it which you know we talked about it we I'm comfortable with it. I understand it. I've actually invested in them and so that's what we're recommending here tonight. So uh we did talk about it at length. It's a good plan and it allows us to get the $4 million without without touching anything else. So so we are recommending that. Then we we did review the um architectural design and plans and things of
023the egg building. It was nice to see how it's going to set on the property and and it's an exciting project. Um and again, we saw the same list and talked about those things and the uh potential for um getting additional funds donated and things to the construction of the building. And so we also then recommend that the board accept um that we have the recommendation to let bids for the agricultural building as presented in your packet tonight. And then we reviewed the uh fiscal year 2026 tenative uh budget our final review. Uh we went through that in detail, looked at a lot of different things, asked a lot of questions. um talked about the tort fund and some other things and it is our recommendation to approve the final fiscal year 2026 tenative budget
024as presented but there are a couple things that I want to throw it to Miss Mrs. Jen Doze some things that uh she has to tell us about with it. So Jen, >> good evening to see everybody. Um I was just going to go over the fiscal year 26 budget. Um I have our beginning fund balances. So for fund 10, we're going to begin the year with 8,18,231. Fund 20 3 million7,496. Fund 30 $89,938. Fund 40 1,317,36. Uh, fund 50 95,3 fund 60 50,271 Fund 70 392,651 Fund 80 Fund 90 6,181,631. Um just to kind of go over a few things with the budget um to call out. Um we for fund 10, the education fund, we recognized um $500,000 worth of revenue related to the health occupation classroom in fiscal year 25. We are
025going to have $761,000 of corresponding expense coming out in fiscal year 26 related to that. So it kind of offsets in the two fiscal years. All future donated projects will be ran through fund60 um to kind of alleviate that crossover. Uh we lost the toff grant this year which was $135,000 in revenue um reduction and then we had $444,000 in FSR funds fall off this year in comparison to last year. Um, in fund 40, our transportation fund, we're seeing a 7% increase with our Johannes um, bus contract. Um, fund 60 is showing the $7 million for the A building construction. Uh, fund 80, property casualty insurance increased $100,000 over fiscal year 25. Uh, we have $100,000 for exterior lighting projects in fund 80. Um, we also received the $50,000 maintenance grant related to that project,
026but that was recognized in fiscal year 25. Um, and then in fund 90, we have $6 million for the health life safety projects that we are finishing up from this year and next summer. Um, the additional remainder of the $100,000 for the exterior lights and then $243,000 for the Dolan and auto shop fire alarm uh system. But overall, we will be finishing uh the year with a projected surplus of around $46,000. So, I think for all of the things that were against us, we uh we landed pretty good. So, any questions? >> Thanks. >> Thank you. >> So, then um after that, we talked about the school maintenance grant applications. We did talk about the the stadium light replacement which already has been discussed and we recommend approval of those. Um we recommended approval of
027the TRA track project which we have a change order number one and we recommend approval of that and then we got updates on all the uh facility projects that have been going on. Um, we also discussed the random drug testing cost proposal and those items and the changes associated with those, understanding that the policy had to change in order for that change to be made. And then, uh, Dr. Robleski updated us that Title One funding is expected to be cut up to 30% next year, right? Not this year. So, >> um, that would result in approximately $82,500 being eliminated from our budget. You know, the good thing for us is that's only 02 of the district budget. 2% of the district budget, but still it's another headwind we've got to deal with. So that was
028our meeting. >> Anyone have any questions? >> Thank you, Miss Murb. Administrative report, superintendent report. Dr. Bleski. >> Thank you, Mr. Sharper. Um, a couple things just to highlight in my report. Um, one, we completed our, uh, 2025 audit and we had our our exit interview with Mr. Newkerk. Uh, he will be here in October to be able to to share his his results. Uh, overall, we we had we had a good audit. There were three findings, however, uh, this year. Uh, nothing substantial. There was one that was a kind of a mistyped information. Uh in one of our uh in our school lunch program, we had another um uh error where a student was miscoded as being free as it would which should not have have been the case. And then we discovered uh
029an issue in how we are recording our expenditures in title one. Title One is is very unique in that we have the extended grant which they actually this the current fiscal year for the title one goes through June or July 31st. So it crosses over into the next fiscal year. We just have to to reconcile those expenditures in a different way in our financial management system. Um which is it's good to to know that that's um what we need to uh to do differently. Um but overall we we had a we had a very very positive uh uh audit. Um the other the only other thing I wanted to emphas or to point out is I I included this in my report. Um and this is really good news. ISBE has realigned the ACT cut
030scores to where they're really more in alignment now with what the national cut scores have been. So, if you recall, and this was the same same with the SAT, um the state of Illinois had a higher cut score standard to meet proficiency than actually what the what the college board was recommending. And so, um, and that's why I think for a lot of high schools that you you see, I mean, you look at the SK test scores, I mean, always can get better, but that was one of the other hurdles is that we had a higher standard to to make as opposed to other other states that were using the SAT, but using what was the recommended cut scores. So, we're excited about that. um and excited to then begin to see what impact that's
031going to have for our students. Um and this kind of correlates very well with the work that um Mrs. Cushing and Ms. Lance are are working on together with the new benchmarking uh system that we're using. Mrs. Cushing talked about this last last month. We're actually using the ACT with our freshman, sophomores, and juniors three times a year. Um, so we're very excited about how that those results are going to help teachers truly zero in on student by student, skill by skill, uh, to be able to remediate the the the the skills that our kids are not being as successful on. So that way there when they do come to take the state assessment, they're going to have seen it in some cases up to nine times uh, you know, and so certainly six times
032um, uh, before they take the assessment. So, we're we're very excited about what the results are going to be for that. And we had a whole series of foyer requests um from uh our last meeting and I have all that information in the packet. Are there any questions? >> Okay. Thank you, Dr. Bleski. >> Uh principal report, Mrs. Cushing. >> Good evening. Um I had lots of things in my report. It felt like it was a little extra long this this month, but um I won't uh go over each one of those. I'm going to highlight our smart goals that um we're keeping track of um so tentatively there or so um attentively there. Our first goal about graduation rate, we we take a look at our grades, remember to monitor the progress on that.
033Our students are doing great out of 6,84 course grades right now. 94.62 of those have passing grades. Um so that I think that's really a great start to the school year. Um to give a little bit more breakdown on on the failure piece um we have 366 of those that are failing grades um which is comprised of 202 students. So we have a lot of different um interventions in place that we're working on to try to target those kids um and get them um moving in the right direction um as well as some programs for the teachers to to help use there. Our attendance goal um pretty impressive. we have at the time of the report anyways uh we have 52% of our students that had perfect attendance. So that's really impressive for for this
034point of the school year. Um and right now we would uh determine that we have about 80% that are on track um with where they need to be for the school year. Our third smart goal talks about the SA or excuse me the ACT. Um and I just love that SAT keep going back to it. Um uh Dr. was already mentioned that a little bit. Um so I'll just share with you that I challenge the entire student body to raise their scores by two points. If they can raise their score by two points, um then we're going to put them in a drawing and give away um quite a few prizes to the students um as a way to, you know, incentivize them. They're enjoying things like free parking in the teachers lot, a few
035of those types of things. Uh, as far as the changes that I want to highlight out of the report, we have changed our structure slightly with our pre-Huddle and huddle. Uh, you may hear about that um when you're out in the community and we took the feedback from students and staff on that. Um, we're kind of varying occasionally from month to month um and huddle the huddle what time of day it's happening to make it a little bit more effective. And we're also um lessening the numbers so have a little more impact um and action-packed um huddles on the days that we are having those. And so far that's that's gone really great. The other piece I want to highlight that was a change is something in our assessments. We're continuing all the same assessments
036we've given um over the last several years. However, we will be having our eighth graders attend school or attend school, I guess I would say, with us um for three days during the first week of October. This um change is to try to help increase the number of students. Uh it has just slowly dwindled and dwindled. Uh we offered that test on a Saturday and the the turnout was just getting worse and worse. We had about 50%. So we're going to try this and hope for closer to 100% of our students that we can have data on. And with that, the rest of my items were were just some updates about other things that we we have going on this year. Any questions? >> Thank you, Mrs. Cushing. Uh, athletic director report, Mr. Hance, is
037not here. His report's in your packet. Uh, director of area career center, Dr. Lang. All right. How's everybody doing tonight? You get to report on some fun stuff tonight. So, about 120 students from welding, CAD, building trades, machining, electricity got to visit a couple of the apprenticeship training centers for the labor union. So they went to the IBW and Juliet and then in Moina they have the pipe fitters union. So they went to both of those a couple weeks ago. It was on the 12th and they got to experience what's going on here and really see what it means to to start one of those apprentichip programs. So we usually have several students every year that participate in one of those once they graduate. So it's really good to get them out that are ahead
038of things. um the culinary program. Um they're trying to do some fun stuff along with the catering and the different things that they do with recipes and all that kind of stuff. So, they've been inviting some of the classes from LP to come over and if they're doing research on their Chromebooks or anything like that, the teachers will come over there. And then they're doing um ice shavings. They're doing snow cones, that sort of thing. And then just yesterday, they started doing dirty sodas. I'm not exactly sure. They put, you know, vanilla and cream and those kinds of things in there. So, it's been a hit. The students love it and it gives them an opportunity to do their research and stuff in a different setting. So, it's kind of a fun thing. Uh, since
039you guys were over for the the building and grounds meeting over there, we have doors on the lower level restroom. So, now they're operational and people can use them. The the caution tape is no longer there. Everybody's pretty excited to have a couple extra functioning restrooms over there. the manufacturing expo that happens annually over at IBCC and some of our local manufacturing facilities. That's going to take place on October 21st. And they're looking for more students this year. So, I think last year there was 175 students that participated from the region. And I believe LP was somewhere in the neighborhood of 25 students that went. So, we're going to increase that to 40. And I think that number is going to be even higher because we're going to take some students from the career center
040and LP students will be involved in that. So normally I believe it's the younger students that that go from LP. So I think there's going to be a total of like 90 from from the area that go there. And yesterday the counselors and principles from this rafty region visited uh the Dolan building and we had a meeting to talk about ISBY and pathway endorsements and that sort of thing. And then we gave them a tour across the campus and got them familiar with what we've got going on there. Any questions? >> Thank you, Dr. Lang. >> Thank you. >> Director of communications, Mr. Baker. >> Hey, good evening everyone. Um, a few quick updates today. Uh, one of the pieces and you'll see it in with the um materials. Uh, we kind of brought back
041the Caval letter as a digital publication this year. So, we got the first one out. um hoping to do that maybe two to three times this semester um as a way to kind of highlight some stuff and maybe kind of go a little bit more in depth in particular as we talk about making sure that not only our faculty and students are aware and focus on our smart goals so that our parents and potentially even community members are too. Uh so we're trying that out um as a way to keep pushing that uh that that element out as hard as we can. Also, it's one of those nice things we talked about in the past of uh starting this new student assistant program. Um ideas that came in for the students of like, oh, our
042our parents always complain because they want to know prom dates three months in advance, not two, three weeks. So, we on in the back of that, you'll see we have basically the full year laid out of all all the major events and things like that. So, hopefully uh even more improvements for our overall communication >> program, excuse me. Um always um we have I imagine everyone knows but homecoming is coming up. So we're busy getting ready uh materials for all of that stuff and helping um student council and everyone else get ready for variety shows and uh pep rallies and um all those things that we have going on in the gym next week. And then um as Mr. Trevor said the big news out of the foundation uh was that uh the family of
043Linda Hildebrand presented us on Thursday with with a very large generous donation which will go to really help some some great things. Um, also a really nice piece because this this fall we're gonna be taking off um from the annual chicken dinner. So you don't have to worry about buying any dinner tickets, at least from us. >> No chicken dinner. >> So depressed, huh? >> I know. A lot of the restaurants that we normally fall back on are all kind of in flux on whether or not they're going to be open. So um the decision was made to maybe hold off this year.
