009for secretary? Since there is one nominee, all in favor? Aye. Congratulations to the officers. It is customary that each time there is an organizational meeting of the board, that all board policies are formally adopted by the Board of Education. We recommend that the board formally adopt all board policies that have previously been enforced in district 161. This does not mean that they cannot be amended at a future date. It's adopting these policies now to formally adopt. So can I have a motion that the Board of Education formally adopt the board policies of Summit Hill School District 161? Second. Second. Second. Roll call. Can I have a roll call, Mr. Secretary? Aye. John Winter? Aye. Amy Burke? Aye. Ron Petrie? Aye. Patrick Oliphant? Aye. Adrienne Chavez? Aye. Joy Murphy? Aye. Motion passes and board policies are
010adopted. Moving on to the appointment of board members for different committees. If there is no objection, I'm just going to read through the committee appointments. The community outreach committee, Adrienne Chavez and Amy Burke. Policy committee, Ronnie Petrie, Melissa Ryan. Buildings and grounds usage and safety committee, Patrick Oliphant, John Winter. School finance committee, Melissa Ryan, Ronnie Petrie. 843 representative, Joy Murphy. Alternate, Amy Burke. ISBE voting representatives and three rivers representatives, Patrick Oliphant, John Winter Parent teacher advisory and handbook committee, Adrienne Chavez and Joy Murphy. The Mary Drew Early Learning Center rep will be Joy Murphy. Rogus kindergarten will be Adrienne Chavez. Rogus one through four will be Patrick Oliphant. Walker reps will be John Winter and Melissa Ryan. Indian trail rep will be Amy Burke. Summit Hill Junior High will be Ronnie Petrie. Paracommittee will be
011Melissa Ryan and Amy Burke. For the safety committee, do we need to establish something? Like is there some procedure that we need to take to implement that? Or do we just, like Dr. McDermott? Okay, I thought you were looking at me so the board can establish committees. Okay, good. Any other discussion? I know the ISB, the voting rep. The voting rep, yeah. You know you have to go down to the workshop. Absolutely. Okay. Because that's like a four hour meeting and it's big. Okay. Any further discussion? On to item 5E, determination of dates and times for the regular board meetings. The board has been meeting at 7 p.m. on the third Wednesday of each month. The recommendation is to meet on the third Wednesday in January, February, March, April, May, August, September, October, November, December,
012and the second Wednesday of the month in June and July. If you can look in your board books and can I have a motion to move that the meetings of the board be conducted as listed and publicly shared? Can I make a recommendation beforehand? One thing I notice is, you know, April 15th, it's tax day. We have an accountant here that maybe we should consider moving that back a little bit. Out of us, you know, respect. And I would just personally... For the resident accountant? Yeah, for the resident accountant. And I would personally like to request either the, maybe the second week of August. The 20th is a very important day for my family. So I would just like to make a recommendation. If you guys want to proceed, I just probably won't be here
013that day. I agree with Patrick on August. I feel it's the first day of school. Super busy day for everyone. It would be nice to bump it up a week. So I'm going to... Do we have... Does that work, Paul? Okay. You good with that? So just for the record, August will be August 14th. What would that be? August 13th. Do we want the 13th then before? Yeah. Are we good with August 13th and April 22nd? No objection. Okay. So then can I have a new motion to approve the calendar with the adjustments of August 13th and April 22nd? So moved. Can I get a roll call? Melissa Ryan? Aye. John Winter? Aye. Amy Burke? Aye. Ron Petrie? Aye. Patrick Oliphant? Aye. Adrienne Chavez? Aye. Moving on to setting a new board member orientation date.
014At this time, we would like to set an orientation meeting presented by the board president and superintendent as a date and time mutually agreeable. Do I have a date that someone wants to start with? Are we doing this on a Saturday? We could do Saturday or evening. Or an evening. Or an evening. Either one. An evening would be better for everybody? Yeah. What dates were we looking at then? June 2nd. June 2nd. June 2nd. Yeah. So Monday? Monday. Monday, sure. June 2nd. June 2nd. June 2nd. Yeah. Do we want to try a little earlier? Does that work for you? Does it work for you, Paul? Yes. Okay. With a start time at 6? Yep. Does that work? What was the time length before? Was it about 3 hours that we had? Or 2? I think
015it was closer to 2. So it depends. I think the last one was between 2 and 3 hours. It's an opportunity to have a couple of the district administrators come and just kind of give a lay of the land from the different departments. And then take a look at some of the most important board policies. Definitely not to go through the whole policy manual. But just to kind of give also a lay of the land of board policy. So plan on a couple of hours for that one. Okay. There'll be coffee. For sure. Okay. With that 5G mandatory board member training, IASB provides online training for new board members. New board members are required to complete the Open Meeting Act training within 90 days of taking the oath of office. Board members must complete the
016professional development leadership training within the first year of their term and the Performance Evaluation Reform Act para prior to voting on any dismissal. IASB also recommends that new board members complete the basics of governance. Tammy will be signing off after today's meeting and you will be receiving an email from IASB. Information will follow. And those are self-guided trainings. And then you will give Tammy the certificate when you complete. Alright. Any questions or discussion? We'll make sure you guys get them done. This will not be a problem. Right. Public comments are next. We have first Cicely Gantt. Good evening. My name is Cicely Gantt. I am a resident of District 161 for 15 years and a former school board candidate. I'm here tonight to publicly address an anonymous letter that was recently mailed to my home.
017A letter that was offensive, cowardly, and deeply rooted in racism and prejudice. The letter reads, Cicely, sorry you couldn't be the token Summit Hills School Board member. Per your response in last month's Tribune article, the reason racism exists is because of people like you who play the race card. While believing that white people can't be a victim of racism. It doesn't matter, it does not matter how you feel about who should be in leadership roles within our community. That's why people vote. And if you are qualified and liked enough, you'll win. But we are done with this DEI nonsense. Take that commie equity crap out of our neighborhood. This is not the place for you. And the results of the recent school board election proved that. Whether or not the winners agree with this rhetoric,
018the results are in fact indicative to how the neighborhood generally feels. I hear Harvey is a nice diverse Democrat run town. I'm sure you'd appreciate that. I recommend checking it out. Sincerely, your friendly neighbor. This letter clearly, clearly intended to intimidate me, to silence me, and humiliate me using explicit language to attack my character, dismiss the value of diversity, and belittle the importance of equity in our schools. Let me be clear, I will not be silenced. Silence in the face of this kind of rhetoric is complicity. If we, as a community of Frankfurt, and as board members of district 161, do not condemn acts of anonymous intimidation and bigotry, then we send the message that such behavior is acceptable. It is not. It is absolutely not. I ran for school board because I believe every
019child deserves to see themselves reflected in the decisions made on their behalf. I still believe that. And although I did not win, I remain committed to building a district where all students and staff feel valued, empowered, and acknowledged. I want to live in a community where diversity is celebrated, not mocked, where diversity and leadership is welcomed, not rejected. When my husband and I decided to move to Frankfurt, I'm sure it was many of the same reasons why you wanted to move to Frankfurt as well. A safe place to live, a place where you can raise your family, a sense of community, knowing that you belonged and that you're welcomed, and great schools to provide good education for our children. It's disheartening to know that some in this community feels this, that I'm not, that this
020is not the place for me. This is not the place for my family. This disgusting rhetoric has no place in our community. To the board, this is not just about me. This is about the community in which we live in. Our children are watching and listening every day. We do not want to create an environment where we condone or partake in any form of hate. If we do not speak out against this kind of behavior, we risk normalizing it. Mrs. Gant, I'm sorry, go ahead. I thought you were done. Cowards hide. They hide behind people, behind situations. But I stand here today in truth and transparency. I will continue to speak out. I will continue to show up. I will continue to stand tall, not just for myself, but for every child and every family
021in this community who deserves better. Better than this. Hate will never win, and it will not win today. Mrs. Gant, I wanted to tell you personally, I've only met you briefly, but I'm sorry that you received the letter, and it does not reflect this board at all. And I look forward to getting to know you, as I have all of my neighbors around me. And I'm really sorry. I'm truly sorry that you received that letter. So from my heart, I hope you know that that's not reflective of the board. And we thank you for speaking, and we do not condone this. Next, Phil Lee. Hi. Can everybody hear me? Am I up back there? Can you hear me, sound guy? I just wanted to come here just real brief and congratulate all five new board
022members on your election. Yeah, come on. You can do it. All right. There we go. That's right. The results of the election are a testament to your hard work, to your vision, to your integrity. It was not an easy race. There were a lot of races to watch in Illinois, specifically in the local level. Some of them got kind of nasty. This was one of them. And it's very, very difficult and tough that voters deliver a mandate, but here they did. It was five for five. That's not by accident. Your vision, your integrity, your hard work paid off. Additionally, it's worth noting that there was some level of deceit from the other campaign. That stuff doesn't play well here. The voters saw through it because all five of you are sitting up there and the
023old five board members are at home. What I would like to say is that for the first time in a while, I feel confident in the school board, in the direction that things are heading. So please remember why you were elected. Remember why people voted for you. I have the utmost faith and confidence in all of you. I'm proud of you and I can't wait to see what this board's going to do. Thank you. Is that all public comments? We didn't have anyone else sign up. I would just like to thank everybody for having the courage to come up and speak in public comments. It's never an easy thing for people to get up there and do. So thank you very much for doing that. I didn't. Sorry. May I? You are recognized. Thank you.
024So I just wanted to thank you all for stepping up and serving your community. It's a big thing. It takes a lot of time and I know it's going to be a lot of effort and we're all expecting big things from you. We know that you respect parental rights and we believe in transparency and we're really excited to see what you can do here and we'd like this school board to be a model for all other school boards but I'd also like to thank everybody here for participating in their government because it's the people that make the decisions and this is in clear display of how our government should work. So thank you very much. This time the members of the newly seated Board of Education have asked for a few moments to share their
025thoughts. Who would like to start? I'll start. So it's been a long journey for me. I ran a race a couple years ago and obviously did not make it and this time around I made it with a clear vision that I want change in this district. I want to be transparent in this district. I want to bring things forefront. I want to give parents the voice for so too long we haven't had that voice and so for me I got elected for that reason and that is something that will hold true as Mr. Phil Lee was talking about the vision that I walked around the streets and talked to many many of you. I want to thank you guys for supporting me and giving me this opportunity and we definitely at least me and myself
026want to move this district in the right direction and provide great education to all our students and allow the students the teachers the administrators as well as the community members all have an equal share in the way this district is moved. All right. And so that is one thing that you will get from me. Thank you. All right. First and foremost I want to thank my family without your love and support. I wouldn't be here today without the tutelage and showing me what community really means for my parents my extended family and showing me the importance of public service. I wouldn't be here today. So thank you all. I also want to thank the community of Summit Hill 161 district voters for being civically engaged both in the November election. We had an advisory referendum
027that had almost 12000 people come out and vote and take part in it and also in the April election. It is worth noting that this was the largest turnout on record for a consolidated election and that's official going back to 2003 and that's not nothing. That's really important. An engaged community civically is a healthy community. I'm not going to sit here and tell you that we're all going to agree on everything. It's important that we don't. It's important that we communicate. It's important that we question each other and it's important that we are heartfelt and honest and genuine with you the public. You may not always agree with how we vote but you will know why we vote the way we vote and we are here to represent the public. The old 210 way of
028doing business of manipulating facts for personal agendas is over. I want the entire 210 area feeder school area and surrounding areas to look at what's happening here today and realize that those old ways of doing business will result in you no longer being a part of local government. The public comes out and speaks and they use their voice and they did to this time and we're very, very thankful for that. I just want to say that in serving our community we are going to put the facts first. We are going to make the best judgment that we can based off of the facts in front of our face. I believe that what is best for our children can also be what's best for our community. I think doing the right thing matters. I think speaking
029up and speaking truth to power, that's a message to all of you in the public, matters. Please do it. We're here. Okay? Be engaged. I will work to continue to support our staff and I will continue to challenge them while giving, fighting to give them the resources they need to be successful for our children and I will work to improve communications and connections with the public. An engaged citizenry is a healthy citizenry. You are going to have the best of me for four years, I promise you that. It is an honor and a privilege to serve you. Thank you very much. Ditto to everything Patrick said. My commitment and I know it's shared by my fellow new board members is to serve everyone in this community, not just those who voted for us, but also
030those who didn't. And I believe true leadership means listening, being transparent, staying hungry to learn and leading with humility. That begins with creating a respectful and welcoming culture where every voice matters. I also want to be honest and vulnerable. I know I'll make mistakes along the way. You can ask my family. And I may misspeak, misunderstand or simply not get it right the first time. But please see our hearts for this district and ask for grace when I or we fall short and in return I and we will offer that same grace to all others. So I'm offering a social contract. We won't always agree and that's the nature of real progress. But if we're rooted in mutual respect, shared purpose and we then can rise above that division, we can build a culture of
031unity, accountability and hope. And we will stay focused on what matters most, creating meaningful opportunities for every child, strengthening our schools and raising the bar for what this community can achieve together. Thank you. I should have went first. Why do I follow that? I really just wanted to thank, first of all, everybody for coming tonight. We waited a long time and we were super excited to finally be here. I wanted to thank my family and friends for, you know, standing by my side through the crazy times. It was already a crazy time of year for me. And then I decided to add this on to that. But I am so glad that I did. I got to meet a lot of great people in the community. And I just really am excited to feel like
032I can be a voice and, you know, not only just listen but now have a role to make a difference. So I look forward to being a voice for the community, parents, students, teachers. And again, just want to thank you all and all of our supporters, whether you knocked Whether you handed out literature or even just motivated people to get out and vote. Words really can't express how grateful we are for that. And again, just thank you for everything. And I can't add much more to any of that. But I will just conclude by saying we're looking to a bright future. I want to thank my family, our supporters, our community. We are here to work and make proud every single community member, staff member. Every part that makes 161 great, we are here to
033work for you. And we look forward to working for you. And one of the first steps you're going to see next month is a survey to the staff that will go directly to the board. So I'm bringing it up now, but we're going to talk about it next month about pushing out a survey of school climate so that we can get a feel for what we're starting with and what we're working with as well. So thank you again to everyone. Don't hesitate to contact us, talk to us, communicate. Whenever anything comes up, positive, negative, we are here to work. So with that, we do have one closed session tonight. It should be brief. So I move that we go into closed session as printed and publicly posted on the agenda. Before I say so moved,
034I just want to say thank you to everybody that supported this group of people up here. They're individuals for sure. And it wasn't like we all lived next door to each other. It was a hodgepodge of bumping into each other and having discussions. And everybody brings a different talent. And we look forward to working with you too, Joy. And I think it's going to be a great year. And again, thank you to all the supporters and even those who didn't vote for us. Like they said, we promise you that we're here to listen to everybody and be very transparent. And I just want to thank one last person is my wife and my son because they knocked on a lot of doors and hung a lot of literature for everybody. And I really appreciate them.
035So moved. Okay, so we have a motion to go into closed. Second. We have a second. Roll call. Roll call. Melissa Ryan. Aye. John Winter. Aye. Amy Burke. Aye. Ron Petrie. Aye. Patrick Oliphant. Aye. Adrienne Chavez. Aye. Joy Murphy. Aye. Motion carries. You guys can all remain seated. We're going to go in a conference room so you guys can talk amongst each other. It shouldn't be that long. We'll be right back. Can I have a motion to go back into open session? So moved. Second. Roll call. Melissa Ryan. Aye. John Winter. Aye. Amy Burke. Aye. Ron Petrie. Aye. Patrick Oliphant. Aye. Adrienne Chavez. Aye. Joy Murphy. Aye. Okay, really quickly, can we go back to the committee appointments, which would be 5D, and can we just have an approval of all of the committees that
036were read and listed? Can I have a motion to approve the committee assignments for 25, 26? So moved. Roll call. Melissa Ryan. Aye. John Winter. Aye. Amy Burke. Aye. Ron Petrie. Aye. Patrick Oliphant. Aye. Adrienne Chavez. Aye. Joy Murphy. Aye. Okay, we are now moving on to agenda item number nine. Can I have a motion to approve that the Board of Education approve Ansel Glink as Summit Hill School District 161 legal counsel? So moved. Second. Any discussion? Yeah, I just have just some questions. I brought some up, and I have a few more. As far as the dollars and cents of hiring the new law firm, we didn't see any comparisons. We didn't bid this out. We didn't shop around. I'm all for changing law firms, but I feel rushed with this. And I just
037don't know how all of you can, just your very first night, one hour in, and you're comfortable making such a huge change, which I'm for changing law firms. But if we interviewed three, if we had some kind of choice compared, I would feel more comfortable voting, yes. My third point to mention is that at any time if this is not working out, we can always revisit this as well. Any other discussion? I think something to point out is that part of the reason why we would like to make this move is because we're a very different looking board, and we're trying to establish a new basis for how we're going to move forward, and part of that is having kind of starting from the same starting point as far as understanding what's taken in the
038past and what's happened in the past in order to make sure that all parties that are kind of coming to the table have the same kind of knowledge, same kind of footing out the gate, and then we can hopefully make better judgment. Yeah, I would like to follow that up and just say, you know, from my experience, the previous law firm, it's the best way to put it, they denied FOIA requests using case law that was irrelevant or overturned and generally lost the confidence of the public and how they serve the public. So to me, without this even being a contract, it's a very important thing to change right away. And I'm not disagreeing with changing the law firm. Sure. But that's my two cents on it. So I think a change is needed, and
039my opinion on that is just because we want a fresh start. You got a fresh board, fresh start to move the district in the right direction. This law firm, we can change that going forward if we feel like they're not representing us correctly and we can move forward from there. But I think we need to start everything completely fresh with our first board meeting going to be in a week or so from now. So that is, I think, the thing that we need to do. And that's why we're moving forward right now currently at this time. But you did run your campaign that you were not going to rush the previous board rush the previous board didn't take their time on decisions. And now this very first meeting an hour in we're hiring an attorney
040firm that I didn't even get the name of the person until Friday in my late Friday in my report. So I just feel like you ran a campaign saying you're not going to rush. And here we're rushing. Yeah, no, I think that's a very legitimate point. And I think that the difference between, you know, I know what I ran on and what you just mentioned is this is not an irreversible thing, you know, that the policies that were run before were irreversible. They were run through. They couldn't be overturned. They couldn't be, you know, none of that and made major differences to the community. This is something that could be changed next week if we wanted to. And that's an important difference. But that's a good point. It's a very valid point. And I'm glad
041that you addressed it. We ran on transparency, but we ran on change, too. And we can't have any of what we've had. We need a fresh start. It needs to happen now. We can't wait. I don't feel. This is very common, too, when government changes hands and especially with a sweeping mandate of a new board. The new board commonly, whether it be a school board or a village or a city, it's very common for them to hire their new attorneys, so. And you can see, like in my report, I mentioned the survey that we will be talking about at the next meeting on the 21st. So again, things will be brought up so we know what we're going to talk about, time to process, and adjust. While a law firm is significantly important, it is
042not necessarily a hot topic community issue. Okay, so any further discussion? We have a motion and a second. So we are voting to approve Ansel Glink as the Summit Hill School District 161 legal counsel. Okay, so we have to do the motion. You did the motion? We did a motion and a second. Okay. So we have the motion. Roll call. Melissa Ryan? Aye. John Winter? Aye. Amy Burke? Aye. Ron Petrie? Aye. Patrick Oliphant? Aye. Adrian Chavez? Aye. Joy Murphy? No. A motion carries. Motion carries. All right. We are at the end of our meeting, agenda item 10, future meeting dates is just a short time away on May 21st at the Mary Drew Administrative Center at 7 p.m., May 21st, 2025, Mary Drew Center as always at 7 p.m. Thank you so much. Can I
043have a motion to adjourn? Before we do that, after we do motion to adjourn, everybody's welcome to- I was going to say that. Go ahead. No, go for it. Go ahead. Okay, so after we adjourn, we will welcome our community to have this like our village hall as I always discussed. We don't have a city. We don't have a village hall, but this is it. So you guys are welcome to, as a reception here, to get to know your board members. And this was provided by the board. We paid for that. So moved. Okay, so motion to adjourn. So moved. Second.
