We are at item F, the 2526 proposed budget. Mr. Shredder. Well, good evening. And uh thank you all for being here so early uh on a Tuesday on a warm summer afternoon evening. Uh so thank you for coming. Do appreciate it. Um so this is that time of year when we adopt the Sunny Brook School District 171 annual budget. Um so we will walk through those steps, what this looks like and and the things about the budget. Just sort of an overview and a review of what we what we are looking at, what this all means. So, >> so the budget even though it's
003driven by numbers, it's there's a story behind it. Okay. So, you know, what is all this about? Well, yeah, it's about the money and it's about the numbers that drive it, but that's the behind the scenes. Really, what we're looking to achieve is here we go. This was the back to school bash and uh that we had just a few weeks ago, if you can believe it or not. And uh so we had um you know everybody the school community coming out ready to kick off the new school year and that's and that's what this budget is all about you know and here we have heritage houses. Thank you. Um so here we have Heritage Houses. I couldn't find a good picture of the Doy house from which I'm a member but this one will
004suffice for now. But here you go. Um which house is this miss? >> That's a noodle. >> There we go. So, I mean, this was the sorting event we had for our fifth graders that just uh just arrived here at Heritage from Nathan Hale last year. So, um things are just definitely kicking off to to this story book year. So, what is this all about? We've got Heritage Academics. Gosh, you see our kids over at the shed aquarium. Um and so, here they are on one of their field trips. Just a great educational experience here. Nathan Hail, you see the reading club here. Thank you, Mr. can all the kids reading and and and learning and just advancing their um educational um journey. And then you move over to clubs and activities. There are many
005many of those. Uh and uh unfortunately I you know to for the sake of time did not represent all of them here tonight. But here is the student council summer leadership camp that several of our student council members went to this past summer. And there you have our gardening club over at um Nathan Hail. And then in addition to academics and activities and clubs, you have sports. Um so here's last year's awardwinning basketball team that made it down to state and a phenomenal job that they did. >> This one's for Dr. Erica. I I could not not include a picture of our our first ever uh soccer team. Uh that's that you see here before the screen. So so excited about that. Um and then in addition to of course you know you've got the
006the involvement with the students you've also got the buildings by which the students come to school every day. Uh and so a part of the budget as you will see a big part of it is the capital projects. Um the these schools that we are in right now date back to the 60s and 70s and we've done significant number and financial upgrades of both schools in the last 10 years. this summer being no exception. And as you see here, we have these uh nice lockers. Uh we had a a guest speaker a couple couple of graduations ago and uh he's like, "Yeah, these are the same lockers I had when I was here, it was definitely time for them to go." Um so just again um the lights that you see in that picture, the
007ceiling, the floors, um just everything um you know making so that the kids are coming to school in a safe, secure and a educational friendly environment. And then of course also Nathan Hale uh we took some of the classrooms that had partitions. We took the partition walls down. They were time for them to go put up permanent walls. And yes, they have since been painted. Obviously not in this picture, but some full schools and just capital projects. So, oh man. Okay, we've got a lot going on. All right, so um here we are on step two of our whole budget and levy cycle. Um we had the tenative budget that we received in August. Um it's been on display since August and then September uh is when we will formally adopt that budget. Um I
008can tell you that things really haven't changed since the tenative budget. There's a couple of things we had to move around uh and then we'll get to those here in a minute. But just also going on this um the the the rest of this journey will be next month. Um the levy depends on the budget that you pass. The levy is asking the local property tax uh payers to hey you know uh fund and and fund the um school budget on the local side. And so there's a tenative levy asking for that in October and then we will adopt the levy and levy resolutions in November in which it will be filed with the county no later than the last Tuesday of December. I try to do it the very next day because that's something
009we do not want to forget. So all right so let's go back a little bit just you know historically where are we right now? Well let's look at uh the column of 2025. You can see we had a beginning cash fund balance of 14 million. Um we had revenues of 22 minus expenditures uh which were less mostly because of the capital projects. Um there's quite a bit on our books about 3.4 million on our books as of June 30th for capital projects that we did not get through um and that are in process. So you had a a surplus but it's it's misleading because of the capital projects that have yet to go through. And then so in last July we passed some B proceeds to help pay for um the capital projects that we've
010had in the last couple years. So we are just above 20 billion in cash balance but that'll change slightly this year. We'll be back a little bit more to normaly with this projected budget that you see in the yellow column. Um if you also look at um the last five last four previous years for the budget um you see that in 2022 we had a surplus. 2023 is an a deficit. 2024 was pretty much break even. 2025 is a surplus. 2026 another deficit. Um we'll get to a little bit later, but we and uh Senator Grove School District 171, we are cash basis. Meaning that if we pay for something June 30th, it stays in that fiscal year. If we pay for something July one, the next day it goes into the next fiscal year.
011So, um, a lot that's the fluctuations, but I think if you look at this over time, we've been very very steady and very very, uh, responsible with the money for the school district. So, let's go through um, what we're looking at here is what we're budgeting um, by fund. We'll we'll start with the expenditures. I'm going to dance quickly through all these funds just as a refresher. Your education fund is bulk with everything. That's your teacher and counselor and administrative and uh all your support uh classified personnel uh salaries and benefits. That's the services that we use for tutoring um professional development. It's all your classroom supplies. It's also um any educational capitalized projects and any dues or fees or things paid to other school districts uh for special education. What be it? We slide
012down to OPM. I always get asked the question, what is it? It stands for operation building maintenance. So, um, what that is is that's your everything from cleaning supplies to your landscaping to your paint uh in the summers that we go through quite a bit in the summertime. That goes for everything from people working on the HVAC and the filters for the HVAC system. Um, so anything parking lots getting paid. So, that's the facilities and maintenance from which our students attend school. Debt service is um just what that is. That's anything we borrow money and then of course it has to be paid back. The loan that we took out in July is scheduled for a 10-year payback. Think of it like a mortgage. And then transportation. Uh we we do farm out all of
013our transportation services for regular special ed sports field trips. Um we pay for that through the transportation fund 40. IMRF is for classified employees. um that just basically is a a percentage of their salaries. And then fund 51 is social security. Now, you might be puzzled on this a little bit because we pay into TRS uh for certified staff. That's actually paid out of the education fund, but the social security is also the Medicare portion of social security is in 151 capital projects. I think you guys know this one very very well, but this is all the capital projects that you've seen in the last couple years. Tor is your liability. Uh that's we pay unemployment, your workers comp, and all your property uh insurance or um damages or any liability exposures to the district
014comes out of the torque fund. And last and not least is your life safety. Um boy, you know, a few years ago, we had um some larger balances in that account, but in the last couple years, we've upgraded both schools, you know, the fire alarm systems, the cameras to make this building as safe as possible uh in the event of any kind of catastrophe. Uh and so the money has really gone through and up upgraded all our systems so that right now we're more in maintenance mode and we're looking pretty good for life safety. So what you see there in the far right column is the corresponding um you see the actual and the minute of what we spent last year. Uh and then you see budgeted to the far right. For my purposes as
015the business manager, I budget conservatively, meaning I kind of take the worst case scenario. I don't know how many times we're going to have to call out to have the HVAC system repaired or have a mortar replace or freon in input or I don't know if uh there's a lot of different scenarios that could come up in any given thing in any fund. So we budget conservatively with the hope that we don't go to that limit. If you hit a certain percent of a change in budget then you have to do what's called an amended budget. Those are becoming more and more common, but um I try to budget conservatively from the get-go so that we can just move forward and and not have to do this, you know, every couple months. So, we have
016conservative budget of uh 23,724,000. Uh really what you see is a slight uptick from fund 10, 20, 30, 40. Um actually fund 30 went down because we finished off paying an old loan uh last year. Um, and then you see a big jump in the capital projects. That's a lot of what's going on here. And that's why we float the bonds. A lot of that will be paid this year. Um, and then everything else is just uh kind of a natural progression. Um, worst case scenario kind of gives a solution. Before I go on, does anybody have any questions about this? And if you do at any time, please stop me. Um, so now you've got funds. Okay, you've got like in in the OBM fund, you've got classified custodians, cleaners, their salaries, benefits go
017into that fund. So when you break things down by fund, it doesn't kind of you that where's our money going to? Um so when you break it down by object code in the um accounting system for Illinois schools, um you have the salaries and benefits. So as you can see, salaries and benefits uh together uh are budgeted for over 10 million. uh just a little almost half of the actual budget, purchase services, um supplies, capitalized, non-c capitalized projects and equipment. Um real quick on that, non- capitalized is any expenditure over $500 but less than $5,000. So, if we buy uh some type of cleaning machine for to help the schools, that's $2,600. Then that would be a non-c capital license expense, but obviously it's a chunk of money until we budget for a year. And
018then la and there last one is the 600 object code, student tuition, um any debt payments, dues, fees. Um that is right there about we project about 2.8 million. And then our total expenditures as mentioned before right now we just going to go ahead and budget for 237. All right, right instead of spending money. Okay, how are we going to pay for this? So really what we're looking at here is traditionally uh last year uh the column FY actual um you see is 8.2 is what we collected it in property taxes. Local other is corporate personal property replacement tax that really comes from the state but it's called considered local funds. Um - Dr. McGaw and I talk about this all the time. It's a federal government program for to pay for technology but they
019put that as a local fund. So I that's where it's at. Any interest we earn on our investments, any rentals, any fees. Last year was 1.4. Um it's going down a lot. Corporate personal property replacement tax is going down. the -ate line one. We're kind of in an off year for that. And um just again budgeting conservatively, but what you see is the local portion there between the 39 and 3% is a little over 40% of our revenue comes. Next big piece is state. It's called evidence-based funding, formerly known as general state aid. Um the evidence-based funding is a formula by which um you hear in the news, the the um state of Illinois trying to make sure all students have adequate funding for education. Um so the school district 171 from the state this
020year it's projected to get um $9.2 million from the state. Um and then in addition to the evidence-based funding the state categorical grants for transportation special education and any other state grants that might be out there teacher vacancy etc. Uh that is about 1.1 million. And so combined with the state uh evidence-based funding and the categoricals, look at that comes out to right to 50%. So half of the funding for our expenditures comes from the state. Federal government kicks in about 8%. Um and as you see there, grants um non what's that say? Nonfood. Yes. So non-food that's all your title one, two, three, four. Uh and all your IDA grants uh are coming out of there. Um it's down from what you see in the previous year because a lot of our uh some
021of our funding has gone down uh and that's a nationwide trend and also the esser uh grant money Dr. Los uh we worked a few times a few put a few hours into the esser grants but those have now gone away and so the money is kind of getting back to where it was uh precoid not quite you know for the grants. Uh and then the food programs um you know we budget uh about 800,000 comes for the boo food that's your um breakfast and your lunch bond proceeds we will not have any this year and so you see our revenue at 20 million7 any questions. All right. So then you know so you take that money and you sprinkle it among all the buckets uh just like on your own personal budget. You know
022some of it goes for home repairs, clothing, travel, uh food uh and and things of that nature. Similar to for schools. So they take that money that we just discussed. We sprinkle it over the funds to try to cover the expenditures that we saw on the previous slides. And really what you see is um the revenues coming in to match um what the expenditures are projected to be. We are getting close to the end that's um so changes from the board packet. Um so on last week on the board it was submitted uh the state budget and the state budget form. There was uh three changes I had to make as I just kind of combed over it with a little more detail to make sure it was all right. And the and the changes
023are this um for fund 90 is our life safety fund um the cash balance that's in that fund um based on the expenditures that we have now we really don't spend that much in life safety anymore because we've done all the major projects we did not need to put property tax revenue in fund 90. So I moved it to fund 10 $30,000. So you will see that the papers that you have on your desk, um that third packet I have, I think it starts with page six. Um you will see um I put a little red asterisk and you can see it changing from what it was in the board packet on last week and what it's going to be submitted to the state having more approval. The second change I had to make was
024um debt service. Um really what there was a debt service, general state aid or evidence-based funding. uh there was money that was going into fund 30 that did not need to go in there and so I moved that to fund 20 which at the time was a deficit. That now puts us in a positive fund balance for the OBM fund 20. So I moved again that should be on page eight of your packet there. Um I you'll see it moving from uh fund 20 to fund 30. I just slid the $500,000 in evidence-based funding from that to the other count. So, it's just just moving two different amounts, not increasing or decreasing anything. Um, trying to make this as simple and and stress-free as possible. The last thing uh change you'll see from the school
025board packet that was sent last week is that the beginning fund balances on page two. Um, I I put those in hold. I was waiting to hear from the auditors. Um, we're finishing up our our 2025 audit and uh and so when I got the numbers from the audited, unodudited, unofficial numbers, I put them on page three, but I did not put them on page two. I'm sorry, I put them on Yeah. And so, uh, anyway, the the page two, page five, they now match. Uh, there's no difference or change in beginning fund balances except page two just had the incorrect. It wasn't distributed the way it should have been. So again, just a correction on page two and the other two were just moving the money and I just wanted to make sure you
026guys know what's going on. But aside from that, what you see on the board packet, what we're reviewing for approval is what you saw in the board packet and very very close to the tenative budget that we had in August questions. All right. So um this is a uh this has always been a part of my presentation. This is now part of the state law so that you know what our fund balances are but I don't know how you have a budget meeting and not take a look at your fund balances. So the uh fund balance uh you see in the far left column these are the numbers that I would spoke with beyond the auditors. Uh these are unofficial but this is where the fund balances are in each of the funds and then
027you have the revenues that we just discussed. You have the expenditures that we just discussed and then you have what's the you know added revenues minus expenditures. You have the projected fund balance as of 630 2026. Can you believe I'm saying that? And uh those are them. Now, what you would see is that um in fund60 a $2.3 million deficit projected fund balance. And the reason for that is that when we passed the uh bond back in July, we moved half of that money into the capital projects to cover what we did last fiscal year. The remaining 2.5 is sitting in the fund 20. But now that we are in the middle of all the construction and and getting going with all of what we're what you see around you, it's time to move that
028money into fund 60 from fun 20. So you'll see that money coming out of 120 and into fund 60. We will do that in October, not tonight, but I want to let you know what's going on and why. So that we should end up uh at the year with about a 17 just a little under $18 million uh in cash uh fund balances. All right. So, how are we doing, Dave? What's going on here? So, every year we do a financial profile score. The state wants to know, how are we doing? They give you basically five categories. What is your fund balance to the revenue ratio? Uh, we have a perfect four out of four score on that. We have a healthy fund balance to revenue ratio. Expenditures to revenue. Uh so it's how much
029are you spending to revenue? As long as you're breaking even or have even one penny more revenue than expenditure, you get a four. Uh that certainly applied to us last year. Days cash on hand. Um you're looking at the thing about days cash on hand is two things. One, the uh the money that we earn on interest for the investments that money gets invested. And then two, um there have been times when property taxes are delayed or deferred and some school districts have to borrow uh that money if they don't receive it in a timely fashion by kind of having a rainy day fund. We're able to weather any uh financial shortfalls from not collecting uh taxes or there have been times when I first started here the state um there was some categorical grant
030payments that didn't hit the school district. So, it's good to have a good rainy day flying in. We have about a year supply of cash. We do not have any short-term borrowing in the long-term borrowing that because we did that in July, we don't have a perfect score in that anymore. Um, but we still have a 3.9 scale on a 4.0. Um, and that is financial recognition. That is the highest category rating you can get. I have to put an an audit in because that has not been finalized. But again this should be I have no very confident in these numbers questions we are really really almost done. Okay. So, budget summary. So, you know, um boy, you know, revenues, you guys, I mean, know just local revenue. Um state uh state the financial concerns
031for the state. Uh I don't know. You don't want to have too much money uh on hand. You don't want to have too little on hand. So, it's finding a delicate balance. I think we're we're achieving that. Um there's always co talk of pension cost shifts from the state to the districts. Um, you know, that would be a $600,000 hit right there. And we still have, even though we've done a lot of upgrades. Um, certainly our HVAC systems in both schools, we got to start, we have some older units we're going to have to take a look at. So, um, these are older buildings and we will continue to improve on them to make sure that students and staff have the best possible educational environment for them. And then finally also that reminder again as
032I mentioned earlier we are a cash basis and so the timing of expenditures and revenues a lot of times impacts budget results which is why it's very very important you go look back and kind of see where you've been the last five years which we just did. So, school boards like Trader, hey, this is a lot of money. There's a lot of numbers float around. And the numbers in the state budget form that we uploaded in the schoolboard packet, I'll be honest, that takes some time to learn. Um, that's its own little uh it's its own career right there. But, so, as a school board member sitting going, okay, before I approve uh this school budget, you know, what what guarantees do we have that we're doing the right thing? Well, number one, you know,
033you uh as a school board approve all employee contracts. You guys approve all service and vendor contracts and if there's any expenditures over $10,000, those go before the school board. So, we cannot move forward with those things of that nature without your approval. On top of that, have I ever mentioned the word audit before? Because I'm pretty sure I have because those are endless and just never ending. whether they be uh special education audits or whether grant audits or life safety audits or any state has come in an audit day. We want to see the title one expenditures or we want to see your federal food. Oh my gosh, you know, if if anything's budgeted or expended to the food budget, they want to know and they get audited. We get audited all the time.
034And as I just mentioned, every year, Baker Tilly is our auditors. Uh, and they are the ones that go through and check our make sure that a not only do we have an appropriate expenditures, that we're paying things the way we should be, that we're putting them out of the account that they should be, that the revenue is being allocated properly. Uh, they are a great resource for us and, uh, it is a very thorough, extensive audit that we go through every year. And um you know I've been very very proud and happy to say that you know we've had very um audited audits with no findings. They just was just you know thanks to the work of of administrators and staff and the school board we we've done very very well with making sure
035we're being responsible and allocating the financial funds properly. So this gets us here. All right. This is the journey we are on from the kindergarteners coming in and Mr. catch first day of school and the kids just being jumping out of those cars and and going to their classes and holding hands. And then here we go all the way to eight grades later and they here's our graduation from last year and you've just got some exciting graduates who are now attending high schools all across the area and just exciting stuff for us as a staff because this and school board this is our ultimate goal. This is this is the ultimate result of the money that we spend and how we spend it is to get our students here. I wish I could take some
036of their college pictures and their career pictures because we have a lot of students who have just been wildly successful, but certainly after 8th grade they they move on to other educational institutions. But so proud of our kids and the things that we're achieving here. Um and so that is the purpose and ultimate goal of everything that we do here tonight. I can't thank the school community enough, the local, all the residents, all the businesses, schoolboard members and the staff and the students and the whole educational community for supporting Sunny Brook School District 171 so we can offer the very best education uh to students anywhere around. And so I just have to say thank you. And this last site did hold Dr. McGowan. So looks like we're good. So uh always available. I appreciate
037your time and your patience. I know I think I went off a little bit longer than I should have, but thank you.

We're atformational items uh to discuss the utilization of super eval as the evaluation tool for the superintendent. I work with the district the state of Illinois. So of course beyond this demo today if you decided to bring on super eval I would be the one to help you with onboarding account setup trainings you name it. Um so it's
040nice to meet everybody today. So today I'm just going to run through kind of the highle overview of the super eval superintendent evaluation that we offer. Um I'm going to run through just kind of a quick slide deck so that you can take away really the highle points of the platform. Of course after you watch this today if there's any specific questions that you might have I'm also happy to answer those as well. So, I'm going to start off by just giving you a little bit of background about why Super EVEL was created. Um, we heard a lot of the problems from districts um of their current evaluations that they were using and you might be able to relate to one or more of these. First of all, we were hearing that there was no
041annual evaluation system in place at all or if there was one in place, it was inconsistent. So from year to year there wasn't a set system in place. Secondly, we were hearing that a lot of the evaluations that they were using was just quite superficial and um it wasn't really allowing the superintendent to provide evidence to the board and then in return the board wasn't able to really provide that useful feedback um which is really a main goal of an evaluation. Um the third is that there felt like there wasn't much of an alignment between the different areas of district goals, annual goals, contract goals, national standards. All of those areas felt very disconnected and disjointed. So really our goal was to bring all of those areas together in one place in one evaluation. And
042then lastly, maybe we were using great rubrics, but the actual system itself was just inefficient. So whether it was on paper, on a Google doc, a Google sheet, one person was responsible for collecting all that information, making sense of all of it. And it took a lot of one person's time to do that. Um, and we know that time is valuable and everybody's very busy. So just going ahead and cutting out some of that extra energy and organization can be really helpful. So I'm not sure if you can relate to any of those problems that I highlighted to start but if you can superell might be for you. So what is it? It is a simple efficient evidence-based online evaluation system. So it is cloud-based. So everybody will receive a login and work on their
043own part at their own time. It starts by the superintendent leading the schoolboard through the process. So the superintendent will go ahead and set goals based on district needs and national standards in conversation with the board. So really that setup process is a collaborative process. Everybody works together. Then the superintendent will go ahead and complete their own selfassessment based off of what was decided in that initial step. They will build their portfolio throughout the year, provide evidence to the board, provide self- ratings to the board um to show exactly how they've met those goals and those different areas. Then the board will be able to take all that information, digest it, respond with their own evaluation, add comments, and set the final evaluation for the year. So really the superintendent has ownership of the process
044to provide that evidence to show what they have accomplished for the year. Um and then it really allows the board to save some time um remembering every single event that happened throughout the year because we know that the evaluation process can be a lengthy process and it's tough to dig back to the beginning of the school year to remember everything that happened. So, it's a nice tool for documentation and also open communication. So, I'm going to show just a quick video today to give you an inside look of what the platform looks like. Um, it's about five minutes. It's going to walk through the very first step, the last step through both the lens of the superintendent and also the board member as well. >> Welcome to super email. Super email is a new way
045to conduct your annual superintendent evaluations online, saving valuable time for superintendent and school board members. Super eval creates unique roles for superintendent, school board members, and board presidents, allowing users to access only the information they need to complete evaluations based on standards of excellence. In just five easy steps, Super Eval defines a reflective and evidence-based evaluation process. The Super Eval dashboard drives the evaluation process, displaying easy access to the five essential steps, completion statuses for each step, and due dates that are defined by the leadership team. The evaluation process begins with the superintendent defining annual smart goals derived from a longer term district and/or work goals. These annual superintendent goals align with the performance evaluation. Superintendent can enter custom goals or select from an example list of goals used by superintendent across the state. Once
046goals have been populated, superintendent can mark step one complete. Step two requires superintendent to reflect on each of the 24 competencies defined by the council's superintendent model evaluation rubric throughout the school year. Superintendent can supplement their self-reflection by adding supporting evidence to their portfolios with drag and drop functionality. The annual goals defined in step one will autopop populate in the last domain. Once reflections are complete for each competency and supporting evidence is attached, the superintendent digitally submits his or her self-evaluation to the school board for review, triggering an email notification to all board members. In step three, the school board reviews the superintendent self-evaluation, including the reflections and evidence before conducting their own evaluation. School board members have the option to start a new blank evaluation or an evaluation that is automatically prepopulated with a
047superintendent's rubric responses. Each of the competencies has a rubric identifying four levels of a superintendent's performance with descriptors for ineffective, developing, effective, and highly effective. Board members can also easily reference the superintendent's self-evaluation reflections and others. The board president can conduct his or her own evaluation as well as have a real time high-level data view of how the evaluation is progressing. This allows the board president to lead the board through the process. Once all board evaluations have been completed, the board president can mark step three complete. [Music] Super Eval automatically consolidates all of the school board's evaluation data into a single evaluation, saving time for the board president by eliminating the need to manually collect this data. The board will then need to review the consolidated evaluation, make any adjustments necessary, and prepare the final
048evaluation for the superintendent's review. This process is closed to the superintendent. Once step four is completed by the school board, it triggers an email to the superintendent permitting access to step five. Super eval compares the schoolboard and superintendent evaluation to present a data view that identifies areas of agreement and disagreement, providing an excellent catalyst for discussion. Superintendent have the option to add post evaluation reflections and comment. At the conclusion of these five steps, the superintendent and schoolboard president apply digital signature to finalize the evaluation. Once the document is signed, the evaluation is finalized and super eval generates a foil version of the superintendent's evaluation that can be used in response to any foil request. The evaluation is then stored in a digital archive that can be accessed at any time. Get the tool that's vital
049to So that video I think just gives a good inside look um of how userfriendly the platform is and how organized and clean the process really is. Um it streams streamlines it for everybody involved not only the superintendent but all of the board members as well. So, what I have on this screen here is the rubric that is the most popular by far by our superintendent in the state, but then also all of the districts that we work with as well. Um, this rubric you can see here, we have a total of 24 competencies under each of these standards. Um, these are all customizable, too. um in the sense of if we don't want to use the rubric in its entirety, we can narrow down the rubric to maybe two competencies from standard A, three
050from standard B. Maybe standard C isn't as much of a focus, so we pull one or two from there. Um but you can really decide how much or how little you would like to include from the rubric on evaluation. Um we do recommend narrowing down the rubric. Um, it's not required, but we recommend it because it allows the evaluation to be a little bit more customized to that particular district and superintendent with the areas of focus for that year. But then also it allows everybody to have a little bit more time to do that evaluation rather than spreading everybody so thin across rating every single competency across the 24 um and providing those ratings and um evidence for each of those. So it makes it a little bit more manageable as well. I also want
051to point out in that yellow section there, we can add any customized annual goals, whether those are district goals, contract goals. You can add as many or as little as you would like in that section. So again, really making sure that that evaluation rubric meets what you are looking for as district. So if you want to learn more about the rubrics, please let me know. They are also listed on our website. Just to go off of the superintendent rubric, we also have a variety of other leadership rubrics in our library that can also be found on our website. We have very general rubrics that fit a variety of positions. So, these general rubrics might fit, you know, the whole cabinet or the whole, you know, district leadership team. Um, those are really great because regardless
052of role, they seem to fit nicely with those leadership roles. And then we also have very specific rubrics that are for specific positions. So, think a rubric specifically for principles. Think a rubric specifically for your school business official. We have those as well. And again, if you decided to bring on your whole leadership team, district leaders and school leaders, you would be able to pick and choose which rubrics fit best for each individual person and or role. To go off of that, we have the new school leader paradigm rubric that is for our principles and assistant principles. Um, it is a great rubric. A lot of our districts are either adding principles on to use this rubric or switching their old principal rubric over to this one. Um, and I quickly just want to show
053you what that rubric looks like. It looks similar but different to what you saw before for the superintendent rubric. There's only three domains here, but you can also see that there's more competencies per domain. And there also is that customizable goal section as well. As we get to the end here, I just want to let you know that we are working with over 120 districts in the state and that number continues to grow. The feedback has been overwhelmingly positive about how streamlined this process is on our platform. Um, and really once a district starts bringing it on to use for their superintendent, a lot of times they end up bringing it on for other folks at the district as well. So, just know we are working with a lot of great districts in the state.
054Um, this is just a few that I wanted to point out today, but I know that peer feedback is really helpful as well. So, if there's any districts in your area that are using it and you want to connect with them, I encourage you to do so to see how their experience has been. Um, or if you wanted to ask me, hey, look, can you tell me the districts in my area that are um using this? I'd be happy to do a deeper dive and see what information we can get back to you. I'm sure you're wondering how much does this cost to bring it to my district. So, it is an annual an annual subscription that runs from July 1st to June 30th each year to go ahead and use the platform for your
055district. It will cost um a per year fee depending on the tier that your district falls into. So, either that 3 6 per year or $3,841 per year. And that's that initial cost that covers the district setup, but then also one evaluation. Typically, that is the superintendent um with the school board evaluating them. Um but after that, if you decided to add on more folks, you would be able to do so. That would just be a per license fee added on to that of $450. And then there is a one-time onboarding fee that covers training for anybody who needs it. You know, whether it's the superintendent, the school board, your principles, whatever that might look like. We do Zoom training so that everybody feels confident and comfortable using the platform and they are aware of
056the features and how they can customize it to their individual needs. So, that is what the price breakdown looks like. Um, and if you have any questions on that, I'd be happy to answer those. So, to wrap up today, this is the Super Evell platform on a highle overview. Um, it really is a great intuitive, user-friendly platform that can be customized to really whatever it is your district may need. Um, after this demo, if you need any more specifics, if you have any questions, you can reach out to me. I will include um my email when I send this over to so you can contact me at any time. Um if you'd like to move forward with bringing super eval onto your district, let me know and we can get you rolling quite quickly. Um
057and if you know there are no other questions then um I am going to wrap up now. Thank you so much. Bye bye. We're at the strategic action plan. Our strategic action plan timeline ended 2022. So if we are if the school district or the school board is interesting in reviewing it, I investigated three different organizations that you may be interested in. I've sent you their packets and they are listed here below for you to consider. Okay. So those three places are educational leadership solutions. It's one page uh strategic action plan at $13,900. SHW educational consultants comprehensive strategic plans with action goals of 175. And then we have next level core solutions with Dr. Nikia Hall at 28,500. >> We're at item I board reports. Does anybody have anything like >> I do. Um so
058I just wanted to report so over this past weekend I and a few other board members and the superintendent um we had the opportunity to attend the cube conference in Los Angeles. Um the cube con conference uh centered on equity innovation and student engagement. Uh some key takeaways for me include the importance of building self-awareness to increase student engagement, setting clear missions and metrics to guide our work and addressing hidden biases that can affect decision- making. Um I also attended sessions on using AI to support student growth and on building bridges between families and schools. Um, in addition to the sessions, we were able to network with board members and administrators from across the country just to learn different best practices and we met with many exciting vendors who had valuable resources to offer school
059district. So, um, my hope is that our board and superintendent we can meet soon to discuss the takeaways and consider how we can implement what we learned to strengthen our district. We're at Adam J administrative report of course Dr. Eric Milhouse is superintendent. >> I just want to bring to the community's foresight. On October the 2nd, we're going to have our first parenting university and the focus of that parenting universities on standardbased grading. The time has not been set for that as of yet. However, it we are of the opinion that it's important for our Nathan Hill and fifth graders or our kindergarten and fifth grade parents to come out because this will be the first time we are utilizing the standardbased grade report card system. So, we are doing this prior to the report
060cards coming out. So, if people need clarity and understanding on how to read it and what's the concept or how to analyze their students um perceived grades, that's what we're going to be doing. We're going to do a big overview, but if people need individual time to have someone sit with them to talk through it, we will make ourselves available on that. You need to do that as well. But please stay alert to your parent connect because that is something that's coming up and administratively we feel so of the utmost importance for our K5 families to attend. Okay. Thank you Dr. Lorie Owens assistant superintendent. >> I have nothing this evening. >> Thank you Mr. David Shreder chief school business official. You don't want to run through that again right? >> Unless you want me
061to. Nothing else I have. >> No thank you. Uh, Miss Julianne Green, director of special services. >> I have nothing to report tonight. >> Thank you. Dr. Mike McGawan, technology director. >> No report time. >> Mrs. Chantel Hendrick, Heritage Middle School. >> I'm the reporter. >> I'm coming. >> Good day, good people. How are you guys? >> Good. How are you? >> So, I want to start off with something a little bit different. Before the pandemic, um we were doing our announcements in the green room with the videos and all the things. Then the green room became part of the STEM room and we did the uh a lot of virtual reality stuff in that room. So this year we wanted to bring the announcements back. Before the announcements, we would just read them to
062the students. The house leaders would read them to the students during lunch. But I thought this would be better to go ahead and pull back from the archives and begin doing our announcements live um recording. So I just wanted to show you one of the one of the announcements so you can see what we're doing and what your kids are getting to see every day. Good morning heritage. I'm your eighth grader house leader from and I am your lovely house of either and here we are announcing for father and sister. There are no after school activities today. On Monday, cross country pencil is from 3 to 4:00 p.m. Student houses are meeting from 3 to 4:00 p.m. See you next week. >> Today we are having cinn for breakfast and cheese pizza or turkey pepperoni
063for lunch. On Monday we will have to call for breakfast and grilled cheese or chicken patties for lunch. and being the best you can be is really only possible when you deeply connect it to another. Bye. [Music] >> I tried to find a short one so that we can do it. And I just wanted to give you guys an idea of what it is that we're doing. So, we are back with the heritage announcements. I'm not posting them on YouTube, so they won't be um available to the public, but the kids have access to them and so they'll be able to see them. Um, house day is this Wednesday, our first house day. Our theme is house pride and students will be representing their houses through fashion. We will end our end our house day
064on Wednesday with a fashion show. So, that'll be fun. I wanted to say thank you to all the families who participated in the double goods fundraiser. We raised $11,0007 $11,754 to be exact to support the heritage houses. And so thank you families and community for that. That was awesome. Um in the spirit of be building leaders, our house leaders will travel to Iron Oaks to engage in team building activities and strengthen their sense of self on September 30th. Dosi is partnering with Alami. I just wanted to tell you guys this because I know some of you were in doi and we're having ice cream social on Friday, September 26th. Our clubs and athletics have jump started. We are in full gear all over again. If you guys go to the HMS web page and scroll
065to the bottom, if you click full calendar, you'll have a view of everything that's happening um at Heritage after school. I want to give a huge shout out to Dr. Pettis and the board for allowing us to have supper before clubs. That's been super helpful. The kids aren't starving. They're not running to my office asking for snacks. Thank you. Right. So, um that supper that supper idea was amazing. Fantastic. Um our school pictures are on Thursday the 25th, September 25th. Students should come dressed to impress. Um, and then I'm going to give you guys your seven mindsets. Attitude and gratitude. You are perfectly cast in your life. I can't imagine anyone but you to play the role. So, go play. Have a super Wait. Does anybody have any questions? >> I got one question, Miss.
066>> Yes. >> For the um announcements, are the students editing the video or >> No, we haven't gotten here yet. Baby steps. We walk, right? 1% more. 1% better. They They will be editing. Um I'm looking for the multi- media club to do the editing. They just haven't started yet. >> Yeah. But they will be. I'll let you know when it happens. >> Any more questions? >> Have a fantastic day. >> Thank you. >> Mr. Joseph K, principal Nathan Hill School. All right. Good evening every All right. I don't want anybody to to to zone out on me because I have a short presentation and I watched y'all turn around all night long and I promise you it is short and we will get on. But um let me just start off with back to
067the meeting place again. Big thanks to Dr. Fettis. Big thanks to the board for you all getting behind the re-imagining of what we're doing with the library and we thank you for everything you've been able to do with it. The agenda Oh, I have the clicker. I'm sorry. The agenda is short and sweet. Um, this is the final project proposal. Everything is ready to come together and this is the last time I am going to get up here and talk about this proposal other than coming back to you and saying, "Uhoh, y'all look what we did. It's done." Um, KI Furniture Projections. You should have received that in your packet. Tried to label everything on there. There's a book that I think a lot of us have read called Other People's Children. I think as
068an educator it makes a huge difference to me every day. One of the things that I have learned is to be as serious and respectful of other people's money. So I know when we're talking about furniture projections and MVC proposals, we are talking about a large sum of money. But what I can stand here and say, and you should have been able to see some of those things in your packet, is that every ounce of this goes towards the improvement of our kids. And that I'm 100% sure of. I put down furniture projections because those are separate. That's from AI furniture and the NBC proposal. That is separate as those are talking about the acoustic sound. Next page as presented again other people's money. I want you all to know that we are doing exactly
069what we said that we would do. Uh what we're looking at 2025 KI proposal came in at $166,000 in your packet because of tariffs. It showed that that went up. Tried to put in there and let you know that we don't go up because the tariffs go up. We asked for $166,000 and we are going to certainly not exceed that. The Zentra baffles on the bottom, those are the sound uh the sound baffles. They are $20,000 600 $20,624. And again, we stay within that budget because every step we make, regardless of what that is, our library becomes a better place for our students to reside. what works best for you. I just tried to be hopeful and lay that out. We have things to do uh if we're going to reimagine this the way we
070wanted to reimagine it. And if you remember the map when I first started, we talked about dividing the library up into five zones. Uh zone four, if you remember, we talked about the wall separation. When you talk about the $166,000 for furniture, you're talking about the zone one, two, three, and four and five. So again, just trying to put some perspective to it. Each of those zones carry carries a different character and a different piece for our students. What you're looking at right there is the mezzanine. Um, again, that is redone. There is furniture to go up there, too. Um, and again those baffles to kind of cycle the sound that is bouncing off the walls all over the place. I put there, don't expect you to read it, but it says, "Whatever your decision
071is to address the continued improvement of our project, we will be grateful and we will make it work for the benefit our students. Thank you for your support and consideration." Hey, I can tell you this right now. I didn't just let those kids lay on that floor by themselves. When I was in there with them, I was down on the floor with them. We've been all over that library. And today, as a matter of fact, it was international dot day. So, we found the library. There were mixed grades in there because they were celebrating the international dot. Don't know whether you know about that not or not but the fact of the matter is it is a book that was started by a gentleman by the name um excuse me sorry Peter Reynolds and it's
072called the dot and it's about making your mark and this was about a student that wouldn't want to or didn't want to draw anything and it was all about the teacher having him put that dot on the piece of paper next time and she had him sign it. The next time he came to school, it was in a frame up on the wall. This is about making your mark. Everything that we're doing right here is about making our mark and our kids are appreciating it. And if you remember that first presentation, we were talking about making this the hub of Nathan Hale. Well, we are on our way. And again, every piece of that library has been utilized. I mentioned making the dot making your mark because not only today was international dot day and
073it's celebrated on September 15th but also it's about our students. Sometimes they make their mark outside of school. I think if you think about the presentations Mrs. Shrader had showed you a picture of the eighth grade uh promotion ceremony and as those kids go on they begin to make their mark. Well, I'm feeling pretty proud up here today uh because and I'm going to claim her as our own journalist even though I know she works for Lancing. Miss Adess Salam, I hope I said that correctly. Uh had done a story, had done some research, had done some looking and came across a fourth grader by the name of Jeremy Green. And it says here the title, fourth grader vibes for your athlete of the year award. Check this out. A fourth grader at Nathan Hale
074Elementary School in Lancing Journey is also a competitive swimmer with Monster Swim Club in Indiana. At the end Indiana divisionals held August 1st through 3rd. Jouri placed third in the 50 meter backstroke and first in the 100meter backstroke. She also earned a medal in the 200 meter medal. At the end at the Indiana divisions in August, Journey Green placed third in the 50 meter backstroke and the first in the 100 meter backstroke. I only read that off to you because this right here should be a pro a poster because when we say our kids are great, I'm telling you our kids are great. This just happens to be a young lady that's making her mark right now and we thank you for finding her. So I do want to share this with you real quick
075and keep that on your refrigerator. This is so clear. I didn't know I was going to make my rounds, but uh that is just so very cool. And again, thank you for noticing our students. Our students are making their modesty. I love the way all of this came together because at the end of the day, I'm gonna end where Mr. Schrader ended and that's the idea that guess what? This is what Sunny Brook is all about. Starting at preK and coming all the way to 8th grade and that's what we're doing. Last thing I'm going to say, thank you to our great parents. September 11th, we held our first open house for third, fourth, and fifth grade. Parents turned out, teachers were wonderful. We are off to a wonderful school year. Make the hail picture
076day is on September 23rd and then shortly behind that on 25th we have our open house for our early childhood, our kindergarten and our first grade. So I say to you as I always have feel free to drop in, come lay on that library and let's help everybody make their mark. Have a good night. >> Thank you. We're at item K, recommend motions. I recommend motion to increase the 2025 2026 substitutes pay to $160 per day as present. Motion >> second. >> Motion by Ambrose, second by Terrell. Ambrose. >> Yes. >> Forel, >> yes. >> Smith, >> yes. >> He >> Burks, yes. Thompson, >> yes. >> Motion passes. We're at item two, recommend a motion to approve a 120day contract for reading specialist to Brady at $284.3 cents per day to work with the
077students at both Heritage Middle School and Nathan Hill as presented. >> Motion by Ambrose, second by Terrell. Ambrose, >> yes. >> Terrell, >> yes. >> He Burks, yes. Thompson, >> yes. Motion passes. Uh recommend motion to approve a contract for the 2025 2026 school year between ISC4 and Sunny Brook for the employment of a math coach two days a week for grades three through five in the amount of $50,000 as presented. Um before we take the motion, I'm going to motion that we table this uh motion here. Um only because uh board did ask for information regarding the math coach which we did receive today. Um I just don't think we've had sufficient time to review that information. So I would like to table it until the next board meeting or a special board meeting.
078A motion to table. >> Motion. >> Second. >> Motion by Terrell. Second by Smith. >> Yes. >> Smith. >> Yes. >> Works. Yes. Ambrose. >> Yes. >> Thompson. >> Yes. >> Motion to table pass. We're at item four to uh motion to approve Carol Kathy, I'm sorry, Martin as people services case manager for the 2025 2026 school year at the rate of $500 a day 120 school days. >> Motion >> second. >> Motion by second by Ambrose Burks.

Motion passed. before we vote on the on we just received this information today and there was other information presented to us at the uh conference about another tool that may work with some of the tools that we have. So I say that we table this until uh we get another uh another uh quote from other companies as well. Motion >> second. >> Motion by Terrell. Second by Ambrose. Terrell. >> Yes. >> Ambrose. >> Yes. >> Smith. >> No. >> Hill. >> No. >> First. No. Thompson. >> No. >> Motion. The table

Terrell, >> no. >> Smith, >> yes. >> He >> yes. Ambrose. for a vote. I would like to say we asked the school to come up with um counter offers and we also asked to be them to be fiscally uh responsible for the money that the district is spending. I don't know if that was done for this. My answer is no. [Music] >> Yes. And to counter off that, uh, our evaluations at this particular time have been inconsistent and they have not lacked any alignment of the district and they also have been heresy or hearsay versus anything being self-reflective in regards
082to what the superintendent does. So in order to make sure that we have some consistency in the evaluation and to be fair to our superintendent that we as a board need to fun we are functioning as one to make sure that we're done doing things in a timely manner. >> I disagree with uh the comment about things being done in a fair manner. Again, if we're talking about fair, this is one to two that only well that it was obviously discussed with everybody else. So, the information that I was presented with, I could not make a valid decision without seeing anything else. All right, moving on. Uh, item L. Oh, I'm sorry. If we decide on a company that's going to facilitate the strategic action plan, we table. >> Yeah, I table. >> Oh, we
083can table everything else. Great. >> What was the motion by? A motion to table by birth. Second by Thompson. >> Yes. >> Burks. Yes. Thompson. >> Yes. >> Forel. >> Yes. >> Smith. >> Yes. >> Ambrose. >> Yes. >> Motion on the table. Pass. Item A, visitor statements. Visitor statements will be limited to uh two minutes per person and a total of 30 minutes will be allocated for visitor comments. All comments about items uh will be addressed to the appropriate administrator. >> Okay. Yes, I'm right. Take your time. Take your time. >> That's proper. We got there on the floor. >> We got there. >> Let me get up here. I got to have something to lean on. >> Okay. >> My name is John C from Lynwood. I now have my fifth child through
084the school district is in sixth grade. And last time I addressed the board, it was to complain about picker school bus. So I'll start off with retracting what I said then with giving kudos to whoever has made the changes because from day one, Kicker has been within two minutes of the posted schedule time. And as a former school bus driver in my younger years, and it wasn't person, it was still two more air conditioners. That's an accomplishment that whoever has been responsible for that in this district have a pretty good idea who it is, but I don't want to point any cook fingers because I don't think I want any bad things. Uh because tonight is a congratulation night from the taxpayer. The second thing I wanted to point out to was uh that I
085had talked to Dr. Milhouse status about several things earlier and would you know if somebody would decide to chime in on my parade when I'm in the middle of something. Give me a second to go back to my agenda here. I was going to make individual comments about things on the budget uh and individual things that you passed tonight, but since you all seem to be in agreement, a majority of them and certainly in agreement with the taxpayer, I'm not going to do that except to say that we have several things that I think are very important. uh parent square and I may I may mention this to many staff members. I think that has been a huge improvement in communication with the parents and whatever that costs the school district is well worth the
086money. I haven't seen any of the security issues that were made in the doors, but I've talked to people in the office and I understand that that has also improved and after what we have seen throughout our country, it's unfortunate, but it's a necessity to survival. So, that's a good investment. the open house. Congratulations to everybody on the school board, the administration, the principles, the teachers, the students. I went away with such a feeling of this is not the same school that my birth daughter, who's now 40ome years old and a professor at a community college in Wisconsin, went to. This is a whole new beginning. It's beautiful inside and out. I also like the outside of Nathan Hale. I've not been over there inside, but if it's anything like this, great job. Good investment.
087Hope it looks this good 25 years from now. I will not be here to take care of that. I should congratulate about that. One thing specifically I did want to mention as Dr. Milhouse and I have spoken about this very briefly before the first meeting. Uh this this student service person hired and what the state apparently is mandating on this mental health evaluation. I know I'm going over two minutes, but I don't think there's a plethora of people pushing me off. I'm not against the program. Not against the concept. I'm against not against it, but I wonder who's going to pay for all this evaluation to look at the thousands and thousands of dollars you've got earmarked for this that and the other thing. And this evaluation that the state is now calling for, I
088have not seen how often it's going to have to be done. They say it's going to have to be done by the school district, which I don't think you got enough staff to do it. You're probably going to have to invest a bunch of money, but as I mentioned to Dr. Milhouse Pettis, who sets the standards? What happens to it if you come across somebody who does not meet the standards? as she and I have seen over the years when the school district came in how many years ago 15 more than like to believe how many how many families showed up out of 200 and some families that you were dealing with at that point 10 maybe 8 to 10 that's where the problem is every single student that has caused a problem in our
089society has had problems with their families you can evaluate all you want, but there's there's no provision to do something at home. It's going to be a waste of money. Maybe not. I hope I'm wrong. Again, kudos to everybody I wish they're doing. I'm proud to have my what I expect will be my last child in the school district. I'm certainly proud of the relationship I have with staff, uh, the superintendent, with the principles, present and past, and teachers, president. You're doing a great job. It's nice to see my tax money going into something well worth. Thank you for the job. >> Thank you. >> And the school buses are on top. That's the most important part, right?
