And please remain standing at the end for a moment of silence. I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands. One nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. So, we'd like to take a moment tonight for a moment of silence for a U46 student who recently passed away. Jouri Banner attended Independent Center for Early Learning and then Wayne and Liberty Elementary where he was part of an EN2 classroom. For those that
004knew him say Jouri almost always was smiling, radiating happiness to all of those around him. Teachers say it was a joy to watch him work on communicating using a switch and head movements, showing growth and determination each day. Jouri was always very stylish and loved going on community trips and listening to music. Jouri passed away on January 3rd. He will be greatly missed by his family and all who knew him. We will keep his families and friends in our thoughts and prayers. Thank you everyone. >> Okay, the first item on our agenda tonight is strategic plan report. Dr. Johnson. >> Thank you, President Owens. The first item tonight is the 2026 2027 boundary transition update. Lola Mistovich, deputy superintendent of instruction, will provide an update to the board of education on the 2026 2027 boundary
005transition. Good evening. Tonight, I'm providing our January update on the work underway to prepare for the 2026 2027 boundary transition, including the move of sixth grade to middle school. This work spans multiple departments and is focused on ensuring a smooth, safe, and well-coordinated transition for students, families, and staff. Tonight's update is focused on two key areas of work. First, I'll share details on the planning and logistics for classroom moves that will occur during the summer of 2026. Second, I'll provide an update on the progress of transportation routing, which is a critical component of the boundary transition and one we know is top of mind for families. A quick update on student assignments. All students have now been assigned to schools based on the approved boundaries and program placements for the 2026 2027 school year. and
006families were notified of those assignments in November. Since that time, we have received just under 300 residency exception requests. Approximately twothirds of those requests have been approved with decisions based on available space and program capacity. Families may continue to submit requests and those will will be reviewed on a rolling basis as space allows and they can contact our office of schools if they would like to make a residency exception request. To prepare for classroom moves, principles received guidance in late November to begin identifying instructional spaces for next year. Throughout December, elementary and middle school principles participated in staffing meetings to align classroom needs with projected enrollment and staffing levels. And they also worked closely with their school department committees to finalize proposed classroom assignments at the building level. Earlier this month, those room assignments were
007reviewed and finalized by a crossf functional central office team to ensure consistency and alignment across schools. We are now on track and we know where everything is moving to and and we're on track to issue an invitation to bid for moving vendors later this month. Once bids are received, staff will review them and bring vendor recommendations to the board. actual classroom moves will take place over the summer between May and August to avoid disruption to instruction. In addition, our transportation department continues to analyze routing based on the new boundaries with a focus on efficiency, ride time, and safety. The team is also examining potential adjustments to school start and end times to support effective routing. In addition, transportation hazards are being reviewed and updated to ensure safe conditions for students as routes change. We will
008continue to provide the board with monthly updates as this work progresses. In February, we'll share information about professional learning plans for staff and upcoming spring transition events for students and families along with continued transportation updates. And in March, updates will include student registration for the 2026 2027 school year, progress on classroom moves, and further transportation routing details. Thank you for your time and support as we continue this important work. And at this point, I'm happy to take any questions. >> Thank you for your presentation. Do board members have any questions? Okay. Thank you. And the next item on our agenda is public comments. Thank you, President Owens. And this evening, we do have public comment. Good evening. We are now opening the public comment portion of the board of education meeting. Those who completed a
009request to speak card will be called to provide comments in the order in which the cards were received. Online participants have been provided meeting access via Zoom. Written comments emailed to boardw6.org have been posted to the agenda for public viewing. To ensure that all comments are heard, speakers must comply with the following procedures. Individual comments are less than three minutes and comments may not mention the name or personal information of any student other than the speaker's own child. Please note that while board members listen to speakers, they do not respond to comments or answer questions. Thank you. particip. board. All right, our first speaker is Nico Esposto. Hi. Um, good evening. I'm Nico Esposto, a junior at Bartlet High School and my second year of the automotive technology program. At Bartlett, we have one of,
010if not the best lab spaces in the district, and we all appreciate this. However, our shop cannot be used to its full potential due to the current restrictions on working on student and teacher vehicles. The same vehicles that see the realworld roads every day. The same roads caked with salt, debris, potholes along with everything else that faults our roads. Our main point is that these cars are unpredictable to work on. Unlike the district-owned vehicles that have been diagnosed, repaired, and brought back to life for many years over, to fully comprehend our curriculum, we need this unpredictability to be hands-on, to apply our knowledge with teacher guidance on vehicles that have never seen the shop before. Like many other students, I've taken this class to jump start a career as an automotive tech in a very
011competitive job market. Truly, we are at a disadvantage compared to other districts that are able to work on these unpredictable cars. In addition, working on teacher vehicles would give me and my um and my other classmates the opportunity to connect with teachers in ways that we never would have had the chance to before. Okay, our next speaker is Gustavo Montano. Dear members of the board, my name is Gus. I have come to this meeting to bring to your attention the issue in the automotive program currently not being able to work on live vehicles. The automotive program has been such a useful class for me and my peers. With guidance from my teachers and peers, I've been able to work on student and staff vehicles, saving them money and labor and as well as giving pointers
012for future maintenance. Without the automotive program, we the student and staff wouldn't be able to do things like November 23, we helped a lady in the community who had just recently lost her husband and was living out of her vehicle. Her vehicle needed work in which we offered a helping hand using our resources to fix and have the vehicle back on the road. We can't recreate moments like this without a program working on live student and staff vehicles. As far as everything goes legally, there are waiverss that can go into place in order to avoid situations in which drag us into this issue of not being able to work on live vehicles since the start of the school year to this day. Lastly, I wanted to thank each and every one of you guys for
013hearing us out and letting us be here. And yeah, that's about it. And as well as for you guys' commitment for keeping our district safe, us safe, and everybody else. Thank you guys very much. and I hope you guys have a good evening. >> Thank you. >> Our next speaker is Nan Patel. Uh hello, my name is Nan Patel and I'm a student at BLA High School and a part of the automotives program. I would like to start off by thanking the board for hearing us out. It's through all of you that us students are able to have our voices heard and be able to better communicate about our needs. I've been a part of the Barla Autos program for two years now and it's helped teach me many technical skills that I otherwise would
014not have learned. It's helped teach me how to work on my own car and how to work on the cars of my family and friends. This would not have been possible without being able to work on live vehicles. As while we are grateful for the shop cars that the district has provided us. They are not always able to simulate situations that happen in the real world as those cars are no longer in use regularly. We need to be able to work on live vehicles in order to gain the real technical skills and help us see if we truly want to go into blue collar work such as automotives or even become electrician or welding as all those things are also a part of automotives and we get small experiences through working on live vehicles through
015that before joining automotives I always thought I would go to college I didn't really consider anything else but through automotives I able to see what I could do in the technical field and I feel more confident in my choice for what I want to do after I graduate because I've seen all the possibil for me and I was able to make a more well-rounded and educated guess. Even now, my little brother is a freshman at Barla High School and I want to encourage him to also take automotives so he can see what he wants to do. Right now, he wants to go off to college. He's not considering anything else like me. But I think that if he takes automotives, it can expand his horizons and let him see what else he can really do
016in this world. But that won't be possible unless he's also able to work on life cars in the future. able to see what can truly be done. Thank you for hearing us all out. >> Thank you. >> Our next speaker is Anthony Matalo. want to start by acknowledging the district's commitment and financial responsibility and strong career pathways. Those priorities matter deeply to me as an educator and a mentor to the students. My goal tonight is to ensure that our automotive technology program continues to deliver the level of real world preparation that employers, certification bodies and families expect. Automotive careers are not only technical. They require communication, customer interaction, documentation, accountability, and professional judgment. These are the skills that determine if a graduate succeeds in the workforce. Fleet only model provides valuable repetition. However, it limits
017the exposure to the real variables that students will face after graduation. Many high performing districts successfully supervise work on staff and student vehicles using safeguards such as signed waiverss, defined scope of work, instructor oversight, and documented procedures. This model balances safety with authentic learning and aligns with ASE education standards and industry expectations. I am not asking for unrestricted access or increased risk. I am proposing a structured controlled pilot allowing limited staff vehicles under clear administrative guidelines. This approach preserves student safety, protects the district, and strengthens workforce readiness. Our students are motivated, capable, and eager to learn responsibly. Providing them with carefully supervised real world experiences builds confidence, professionalism, and employability. outcomes we all want for district U46. Thank you for your time and continued commitment to student success. >> Thank you. >> Our next speaker
018is David Avatia. David Avitia and I am a junior in Streamer High School, second year of the automotive program. I would like to first say that I've learned a lot from the automotive program. I've learned so many things. It's really helped me better to do better stuff in hand, which is on cars. It's helped me learn a lot. And having to hear that we can't work on cars is it's really hard, you know, because us students when we work on cars, we will learn more than what we learn online. And it helps us really really like learn the mistakes we've done on the cars. And it helps us learn better by uh automotive teachers telling us how to better our mistakes. And I personally think that working on cars would help us really learn more
019instead of um learning more online in hand. Um, it's really helped me um better on the mistakes I've done on cars and it's really helped my mind more focus on the cars than anything. And I it helped me have a better future and help me focus more in college. Um, I look forward to taking tech in trade school and I it it wouldn't be for that dream if I didn't have automotive. And yeah, that's all I have for today. >> Thank you. >> Our next speaker is Alexandria Smack Pepper. Um, our next speaker is Luis Yugalde. >> Good evening to all the board members. Um, I am a student at uh, Streamood. I want to appreciate all your efforts that you've done providing our school with shop equipment and district private cars. Hearing the news
020after taking my personal car into the shop um was devastating since um I couldn't bond with other students as well as learning on um my personal car learning more about it. The program really opened my eyes on what I wanted to do in life, how um what I wanted to do in my future and if I really wanted to uh continue it on the rest of my life. Um our club was shortlived, but the time it was it was still in session. It was a really good time I had especially with person I met at my fellow classmate. Appreciate you. >> Thank you. >> So, I want I want to thank all of our uh students and our teacher who came out to speak this evening. Lame Stovich is going to be available to speak

022So, it's exciting to have everyone back. As much fun as it is to always start a year, it's wonderful to return midy year as well to see all the celebrations and the plans moving forward. And of course, this year is going to be especially exciting because uh as Ms. Mistovich provided the update earlier tonight about moving the U and all the transitions, uh we're going to start to see some of that work really come to fruition throughout this next semester. So, I thank uh the board of education for your vision and your your courage and your leadership. And I thank our extensive team for the work that they have been uh putting in to get us to this point. and I look forward uh to the work ahead over over the next several months. So

And I'm just very impressed also with how well the school has um been functioning and moving forward despite work in certain areas. It's just amazing to see all that uh choreographed work going on and it it's it's getting so much closer. You can see it and I can't wait for you all to see it and I can't wait for uh the completion.

031and related reports. Thank you, President Owens. Uh this evening for school district U46 audit. Robin Cornellison, executive director of financial services and Don Shaw, principal with Lauok and Aean LLP, an independent certified public accounting firm, will review the school district G46 fiscal year 2025 annual financial report and will respond to questions from the board of education. >> Uh thank you for having me. At first, I'd like to thank Robin, Trinett, and the entire team for making this another successful audit year. Without their help, this is not possible. So, thank you. I'm actually going to go through the annual financial report, which is the larger of the uh packets that you received. Uh if I say a page number, it's going to be the actual page number down at the bottom. So rather than knowing the
032PDF page, so first going to have you go to page eight, which is the certificate of excellence award. This award was provided for the 2024 audit year. We have applied for expect to receive the same award for 2025. So congratulations on receiving that award. You skip about two or three more pages, you'll run into our waterbach name and letterhead. This is our independent audit report in which we provide a clean unmodified opinion. That's the highest opinion you can receive. Basically states that we found no issues with internal controls or the numbers as they are presented. The next section is the management discussion and analysis which begins on page 15. And this section really provides a summary of how the year performed in narrative form. So, if you have questions on fluctuations from year to year
033or what the numbers truly mean, this is where you want to go to find those answers. I'm next going to have you skip ahead to what would be your income statement, which is on page 31. About halfway down the page, you'll notice that the general fund, which is your main operating fund, is made up of your education operations and maintenance support and working cash funds at an operating increase of about $97 million is primarily due to the grants and interest income received in the year while your expenditures were below budget for the fiscal year. This was offset by a transfer out to your capital projects fund. So your general fund was left with a $69 million net increase and your ending fund balance was at $64 million. The notes of the financial statements will begin
034on page 33. And the notes really provide further details into how we came up with the figures that we did with supporting schedules. Within there, you'll find your long-term debt and your capital asset schedules. I'm not going to go through the notes with you tonight, so I'll have you skip ahead all the way to page 85. Page 85 is the start of your budgetary information. So if you want to see how a specific fund performed based on what was budgeted, this is where you want to see those comparisons. Does anyone have any questions on the financial statements before moving on to the next section? >> Board members have any questions? >> Okay. We did also provide one current year recommendation. It was a a significant deficiency due to material audit adjustments. We believe this is
035related to the core pay uh payments that uh throughout the year. We believe that this is a one-time correction. So, we're hopeful that this won't be repeated in the following years. And of the prior year recommendations, we also had the debt service fund that was over budget. Although the debt service fund was over budget, it's due to Gatsby 96, which is a relation to your principal and interest payments on subscriptionbased leases. Uh although uh it was originally recorded and budget for in the education fund, but Gatsby 96 tells us that we have to move a debt service. So, it was budget for overall just uh not in the correct fund. >> Any questions by board members? >> Okay. Thank you for um for the report and and the work that was put into the audit.
036Um this report will be posted on the the district's website, >> correct? Not just in in board docs, but but on the the website. Um and I'll make my my annual recommendation that that people uh go through this document because a lot of work was put into putting all of this information together. Um, you know, and it's it's it really is a reflection of the the financial um work that we do in this district to to keep us um in a in a healthy financial position. Um it takes a lot of work to get there. So, thank you for for all of the the time and effort. >> Thank you. >> Okay, that moves us to work session bids and proposals. Thank you, President Owens.

Sue, so both this proposal and the one for the grant stand mentioned that there are long lead times to get some of our material and it may delay the project completion. Could you comment on that? How much of a delay there might be? >> Much of delay. >> Sure. Um so there are longer lead times. Um right now because we are bringing this to the board of education in January. Um we feel like we are in a good position to have the both the turf and
039the grandstands in time for the completion of the stadium project. Um if there were any delays that would impact our plan for substantial completion, we definitely relay that information. But right now um with our current timing, it is promising that we'll get them in enough time. So, you're actually bringing this before us earlier than you might normally. >> Yes, correct. >> Good. Good thinking. Thank you. >> Thank you. >> Any other questions? >> Okay. So, that brings us to our next proposal then. Plan operations Lurin High School stadium project grandstands project number 275-25.

041>> Um, yeah. When we have we already picked out the playgrounds themselves, the equipment. >> Yeah. >> Okay. Are they um are they going to be accessible? Are kids on wheelchairs going to be able to participate fully? >> So, two of the sets are actually custom designed that will be accessible. The one that's going into Ridge Circle and the one that's going into Creekide. >> Okay. >> The Creek Side one is currently already set up that way. Okay. >> So, we >> built it the same way and it is a prek set as well. So, it's built for younger kids. >> Great. Um, Ridge Circle. We actually took what is in the building into account for when we designed it. >> Okay. Fantastic. And no, not at Outer Creek. >> Outer Creek. We did not.
042>> Okay. >> We replaced it with the district standard set that we've been putting everywhere. >> Okay. Okay. Any additional questions? >> Thank you. Thank you. Our next item is a proposal from Office of Schools, Boys and Girls Club before and after school program. Oh, did I skip one? I skipped one. Yeah. >> Oh, I'm so sorry. Proposal financial me. Go back. Next item is a proposal for financial services fiscal year 2026 school maintenance project grant. Uh Sheila DS uh assistant superintendent of operations is joined by Robin Cornellison, executive director of financial services to present the attached proposal summary and respond to questions from the board of education. Administration recommends approval to complete and submit the school maintenance project grant application as required by the Illinois State Board of Education and requests authorization for district
043administration to execute related documents. Do board members have any questions? done. >> So, I'm going to clarify. So, this um proposal is only for going after the grant for the project, >> correct? >> Have we priced out the project itself? I don't >> So, this grant already went to the board um for approval as part of the 2026 summer program. >> So, okay. This grant is a $50,000 grant. Um but it does have a $50,000 district match. So that's why we need to bring it to the board for approval is the board honoring that we will go ahead and go forward with that project. That makes sense. Thank you. >> Yeah. So at the December meeting, TFT was listed on the long list of um proposed summer projects, but once we bid, we will bring
044that project back to the board for formal approval. >> That makes sense. Thank you. >> Any other questions? >> Thank you. >> Okay.
