WEBVTT

00:00:04.966 --> 00:00:05.399
Okay.

00:00:05.399 --> 00:00:06.966
I'd like to go ahead and call this meeting
to order.

00:00:06.966 --> 00:00:09.966
Please rise for the Pledge of Allegiance.

00:00:12.599 --> 00:00:13.666
I pledge allegiance

00:00:13.666 --> 00:00:16.666
to the flag
of the United States of America.

00:00:16.933 --> 00:00:19.599
And to the Republic for which it stands.

00:00:19.599 --> 00:00:23.333
One nation under God, visible with liberty

00:00:23.333 --> 00:00:26.333
and justice for all.

00:00:27.633 --> 00:00:28.333
Roll call please.

00:00:28.333 --> 00:00:29.533
Cain.

00:00:29.533 --> 00:00:30.933
Here. Claire.

00:00:30.933 --> 00:00:32.766
Finnegan. Stout.

00:00:32.766 --> 00:00:34.533
Taylor. Yes. Galvin.

00:00:34.533 --> 00:00:36.266
Olson. Here.

00:00:36.266 --> 00:00:36.566
Okay.

00:00:36.566 --> 00:00:40.499
We'd like to begin this evening with the
recognition of, business partnerships.

00:00:41.799 --> 00:00:42.699
Good evening.

00:00:42.699 --> 00:00:47.266
We are really excited to continue
our business partner recognition program,

00:00:47.699 --> 00:00:51.066
which acknowledges businesses, businesses,
and organizations

00:00:51.066 --> 00:00:54.066
and individuals for their assistance
in building futures for our students.

00:00:54.133 --> 00:00:57.133
We can't do what we do
without the support of our community

00:00:57.166 --> 00:00:58.933
and certainly without our business
community.

00:00:58.933 --> 00:01:00.299
And so,

00:01:00.299 --> 00:01:03.299
tonight we're going to be recognizing
two local businesses,

00:01:03.466 --> 00:01:08.133
who help us with, providing job sites
and vocational sites

00:01:08.366 --> 00:01:11.933
for our students to be able to learn job
skills and gain

00:01:11.933 --> 00:01:13.933
independent skills that they'll need
when they leave.

00:01:13.933 --> 00:01:15.233
District 88.

00:01:15.233 --> 00:01:20.233
So, people may not know that here
in our facility and the district office,

00:01:20.233 --> 00:01:23.233
we have our transition program
in the lower level,

00:01:23.433 --> 00:01:27.399
which, is basically another school,
for our students.

00:01:28.066 --> 00:01:31.999
With us, our students with,
with special needs who will stay with us

00:01:31.999 --> 00:01:33.166
until they're 22 years old.

00:01:33.166 --> 00:01:35.433
So they leave,
they do four years at the high school,

00:01:35.433 --> 00:01:36.866
and then they come over to us.

00:01:36.866 --> 00:01:39.833
And in the transition program,
they learn independent living skills,

00:01:39.833 --> 00:01:41.833
they learn vocational skills.

00:01:41.833 --> 00:01:45.233
And we have students working on
many job sites throughout the community.

00:01:45.499 --> 00:01:46.766
And so we can't do that.

00:01:46.766 --> 00:01:47.599
And our students can't

00:01:47.599 --> 00:01:50.199
can't have those opportunities
without having business partners

00:01:50.199 --> 00:01:52.499
that are willing to open their doors
to our students.

00:01:52.499 --> 00:01:54.933
So we have two business partners
we'd like to recognize tonight.

00:01:54.933 --> 00:01:58.966
So the first one, is the owner
of Shoeless Joe's here in Addison.

00:01:58.966 --> 00:02:01.699
So, Mr. Joe Macchitelli
can you can you come up? Mr. Macchitelli,

00:02:03.299 --> 00:02:06.299
what's up?

00:02:10.133 --> 00:02:11.299
Over here.

00:02:11.299 --> 00:02:12.399
So I'm going to say a few things,

00:02:12.399 --> 00:02:13.866
and then you'll have a chance
to address the board.

00:02:13.866 --> 00:02:15.466
If you'd like some.

00:02:15.466 --> 00:02:17.466
So, at Shoeless Joe's,

00:02:17.466 --> 00:02:20.566
our students help prepare the dining room
before customers arrive,

00:02:21.133 --> 00:02:23.766
including taking down all the chairs,
setting up condiments,

00:02:23.766 --> 00:02:25.533
and wiping the tables, chairs, and menus.

00:02:25.533 --> 00:02:29.433
They also enhance their soft skills
such as communication, problem solving,

00:02:29.466 --> 00:02:32.599
time management,
quality of work, teamwork, and more.

00:02:33.266 --> 00:02:36.866
It's the perfect work site for students
who need a less busy environment.

00:02:37.233 --> 00:02:37.999
Transition.

00:02:37.999 --> 00:02:40.933
Our transition program department
head, Stephanie Nika,

00:02:40.933 --> 00:02:43.933
said that Joe and his staff
are incredibly accommodating

00:02:43.966 --> 00:02:46.999
to meet the needs of each student,
and she shared the following story.

00:02:47.833 --> 00:02:50.499
We had a student who was pretty adverse
to the idea of working,

00:02:50.499 --> 00:02:53.499
but Shoeless Joe's was the first site
he enjoyed going to.

00:02:53.766 --> 00:02:55.633
He even asked his family
to go there for dinner

00:02:55.633 --> 00:02:57.733
so he could show them where he worked.

00:02:57.733 --> 00:03:01.366
So we just want to thank you
for for this partnership.

00:03:01.633 --> 00:03:05.299
And thanks to partners like you,
who provide our students with structure

00:03:05.299 --> 00:03:09.299
and, promote dignity, contribution
and inclusion throughout our community.

00:03:09.699 --> 00:03:11.766
So our students are very proud
to go to their job

00:03:11.766 --> 00:03:14.033
sites and share where they work
and what they do.

00:03:14.033 --> 00:03:16.899
And we again, we couldn't do what we do
without you being willing

00:03:16.899 --> 00:03:19.399
to open your doors and,
and invite our students in.

00:03:19.399 --> 00:03:21.199
So thank you, Mr. Macchitelli. Thank you.

00:03:26.733 --> 00:03:28.466
Okay, presses.

00:03:28.466 --> 00:03:29.133
Oh, good.

00:03:29.133 --> 00:03:29.333
Yeah.

00:03:29.333 --> 00:03:32.833
No, I just want to thank,
I started this program with Jack

00:03:32.833 --> 00:03:36.133
back in 2017-18 before Covid hit.

00:03:36.933 --> 00:03:40.833
And it's grown to where, I have
two students two days a week come in.

00:03:40.833 --> 00:03:44.333
And it's a great, great opportunity
for us to meet some of the kids.

00:03:44.333 --> 00:03:47.966
I have a, sister was down
syndrome that we

00:03:47.966 --> 00:03:51.199
we went through the Addison
Trail, school program as well.

00:03:51.966 --> 00:03:54.299
So when she was,

00:03:54.299 --> 00:03:57.299
going through a program, I don't believe
anything like this was around.

00:03:57.599 --> 00:04:01.599
So it's great to see, I'm
extremely grateful for the opportunity

00:04:01.599 --> 00:04:04.733
to just be a small part of,
you know, what you guys are doing.

00:04:04.733 --> 00:04:06.566
We enjoy it.

00:04:06.566 --> 00:04:08.933
I love having the kids over to help.

00:04:08.933 --> 00:04:10.266
They seem to enjoy it.

00:04:10.266 --> 00:04:12.666
And they give me one last thing
that I have to do every day.

00:04:12.666 --> 00:04:16.433
So, so two days out of the week, it's,
it's nice to have them in,

00:04:16.433 --> 00:04:20.533
and they have their own routine, and,
we're we're grateful to be, partners

00:04:20.799 --> 00:04:25.299
with you guys and be able to,
to help along the way with all the kids.

00:04:25.833 --> 00:04:27.066
So thank you.

00:04:27.066 --> 00:04:29.499
Thank you. Thanks so much for.

00:04:32.133 --> 00:04:32.899
Coming to have the ball.

00:04:32.899 --> 00:04:34.966
We have this, quick awesome can.

00:04:34.966 --> 00:04:36.966
Is this a business partner? Awesome.

00:04:36.966 --> 00:04:38.599
Thank you very much I appreciate it.

00:04:38.599 --> 00:04:39.899
Thank you.

00:04:39.899 --> 00:04:42.899
Thank you guys.

00:04:43.033 --> 00:04:43.966
I should have added that Mr.

00:04:43.966 --> 00:04:47.533
Macchitelli is also a,
alumni of Addison Trail as well. So

00:04:49.066 --> 00:04:49.833
thank you.

00:04:49.833 --> 00:04:53.833
So tonight we also have

00:04:53.833 --> 00:04:55.366
Are they here? Yeah.

00:04:55.366 --> 00:04:58.366
They're both here.

00:04:59.233 --> 00:05:00.499
Oh they're there okay.

00:05:00.499 --> 00:05:03.299
Sorry. Big crowd tonight.

00:05:03.299 --> 00:05:06.533
So we also would like to recognize
Springhill Suites.

00:05:06.533 --> 00:05:10.999
So today we have Gina Lopez,
our guest service representative,

00:05:10.999 --> 00:05:13.999
and Kimberly Nichols, the general manager
from Springhill suites.

00:05:14.433 --> 00:05:16.433
Or. No, sorry. We did.

00:05:16.433 --> 00:05:17.733
That's okay. That's okay.

00:05:17.733 --> 00:05:19.466
Might sneak in in the corner.

00:05:19.466 --> 00:05:20.466
She was E.T.A.

00:05:20.466 --> 00:05:23.299
ten minutes, like, five minutes ago,
so she might sneak in.

00:05:23.299 --> 00:05:24.733
No problem, no problem.

00:05:24.733 --> 00:05:29.166
So we, have had students over
at Springhill Suites for quite some time,

00:05:29.866 --> 00:05:34.466
and, over when when they,
when they're on site, they're,

00:05:34.732 --> 00:05:36.799
we have students help with breakfast

00:05:36.799 --> 00:05:40.332
dining in the buffet area at the hotel
where they clean up and stocked items.

00:05:40.599 --> 00:05:42.499
They also make sure the hallways
and each floor

00:05:42.499 --> 00:05:45.399
and the gym area are tidy
by dusting and vacuuming,

00:05:45.399 --> 00:05:48.732
they enhance their soft skills as well,
such as communication, problem

00:05:48.732 --> 00:05:52.099
solving, time management,
quality of work, teamwork, and more.

00:05:52.566 --> 00:05:55.932
It's the perfect work site for students
who enjoy interacting with others.

00:05:56.099 --> 00:06:00.066
As they great guests throughout the hotel,
the Transition program department

00:06:00.066 --> 00:06:03.532
head Stephanie, Nika and Kimberly,
said sorry, said Kimberly.

00:06:03.532 --> 00:06:06.566
Gina and the other employees
at Springhill suites always provide a warm

00:06:06.566 --> 00:06:10.499
and friendly environment for our students,
and she shared the following story.

00:06:10.766 --> 00:06:14.666
We had a student who enjoyed working
at Springhill Suites so much he chose

00:06:14.666 --> 00:06:18.266
to take a hospitality vocational course
at the College of DuPage.

00:06:18.599 --> 00:06:21.632
Those courses are designed for adults
with intellectual disabilities,

00:06:21.832 --> 00:06:25.566
where they use the facilities to learn
basic, basic skills for employment.

00:06:26.299 --> 00:06:29.232
So again, we just want to say thank you.

00:06:29.232 --> 00:06:31.899
You've been a long time
partner, right? Yes. Yeah.

00:06:31.899 --> 00:06:34.399
It was, established
before I even got there.

00:06:34.399 --> 00:06:38.232
So it's this was a no brainer
to continue the partnership with you guys

00:06:38.532 --> 00:06:40.299
because the students are a joy to have.

00:06:40.299 --> 00:06:43.332
Obviously, some are a little bit
more challenging than others.

00:06:43.332 --> 00:06:46.966
But we work together
with, the coach that's with them,

00:06:47.599 --> 00:06:50.699
to find the right balance of what task
we give them.

00:06:50.699 --> 00:06:52.199
So, yeah, it's it's a no brainer.

00:06:52.199 --> 00:06:54.266
Just keep going with the program.

00:06:54.266 --> 00:06:56.366
Thank you so much.
Thanks so much for your partnership.

00:06:56.366 --> 00:06:59.299
We really appreciate. You're welcome.
Thank you.

00:06:59.299 --> 00:06:59.966
Thank you,

00:07:01.632 --> 00:07:02.832
thank you.

00:07:02.832 --> 00:07:03.699
Very kind.

00:07:03.699 --> 00:07:06.832
I was hoping that my service
representative, Gina, was going.

00:07:06.866 --> 00:07:11.399
She was, doing mom duty, running
kids, you know, but she'll pop in.

00:07:11.399 --> 00:07:13.132
She is amazing.

00:07:13.132 --> 00:07:16.366
She started with us in December,
and she has a little bit more knowledge

00:07:16.632 --> 00:07:20.532
on, assisting
and doing the right coaching methods

00:07:20.532 --> 00:07:22.266
with us students when they come into.

00:07:22.266 --> 00:07:27.199
So it's a great, you know, enhancement
of our own staff members to better assist

00:07:27.466 --> 00:07:31.032
as well as our guests when they come
in, if they are not aware of difference

00:07:31.032 --> 00:07:34.566
learning disabilities,
it gives them an opportunity to like,

00:07:34.566 --> 00:07:38.799
understand, what we, you know,
are trying to help with the student with.

00:07:38.799 --> 00:07:40.332
So thank you so much.

00:07:40.332 --> 00:07:44.799
Thank you, thank you, thank you.

00:07:44.799 --> 00:07:47.132
So yeah, if you want to wait
or when she comes at,

00:07:47.132 --> 00:07:50.366
you know, if there's a we can give an
opportunity for her to say something to.

00:07:51.132 --> 00:07:53.832
Sure.
Yeah. No. Absolutely. Okay. Thank you.

00:08:06.966 --> 00:08:07.466
Okay.

00:08:07.466 --> 00:08:09.032
Next we have, the

00:08:09.032 --> 00:08:12.766
recognition of district 18 successes
for the state and national recognition.

00:08:12.766 --> 00:08:14.632
So I'll turn this over. The principals.
Yeah.

00:08:14.632 --> 00:08:16.532
Good evening, everybody, and thank you.

00:08:16.532 --> 00:08:17.632
Thank you for being here.

00:08:17.632 --> 00:08:21.666
Before we kick it off, just want to from
on behalf of Addison Trail.

00:08:21.766 --> 00:08:23.532
I know Doctor Krauss will mention as well.

00:08:23.532 --> 00:08:25.199
Just congratulations.

00:08:25.199 --> 00:08:29.699
And tonight is one small recognition
of some pretty incredible hard work.

00:08:29.899 --> 00:08:32.299
We're going to hear more
from your coaches and sponsors

00:08:32.299 --> 00:08:36.699
and maybe even from yourself
about the time that you put in, to really

00:08:37.532 --> 00:08:40.532
meet or get to the elite status

00:08:40.532 --> 00:08:44.532
of being recognized, as a state,

00:08:44.532 --> 00:08:48.599
thespian athlete, whatever it may be
that you're being recognized tonight for.

00:08:48.599 --> 00:08:50.232
So just really congratulations.

00:08:50.232 --> 00:08:51.966
And, thank you for coming tonight.

00:08:51.966 --> 00:08:54.566
It's always one of our favorite nights,
especially during summer,

00:08:54.566 --> 00:08:57.732
because we miss students and seeing
everybody in the buildings every day.

00:08:58.066 --> 00:08:59.866
So thank you for being here.

00:08:59.866 --> 00:09:02.099
I'm going to go ahead and kick it off
with our first group

00:09:02.099 --> 00:09:05.032
one logistical or a few logistical things
before we get started.

00:09:05.032 --> 00:09:07.466
You guys are all going to come up
when we announce you, your sponsor.

00:09:07.466 --> 00:09:08.532
We'll say a couple things.

00:09:08.532 --> 00:09:12.432
Again, they may ask you to speak and then,
we are going to ask our director

00:09:12.432 --> 00:09:13.266
of community relations,

00:09:13.266 --> 00:09:16.499
miss Brink, is going to be taking a photo
of the whole group

00:09:16.532 --> 00:09:19.166
or the individual student,
over by the backdrop.

00:09:19.166 --> 00:09:22.099
So make sure you get that,
before you leave.

00:09:22.099 --> 00:09:22.632
All right.

00:09:22.632 --> 00:09:25.999
And then maybe this is a perfect time

00:09:25.999 --> 00:09:29.632
to interrupt
and bring Gina up from Springhill suites.

00:09:30.132 --> 00:09:32.799
As our first speaker tonight

00:09:32.799 --> 00:09:36.532
in business recognition, part two. Oh.

00:09:36.599 --> 00:09:37.666
So sorry, man.

00:09:37.666 --> 00:09:39.766
I was trying to say sorry. Sorry.

00:09:39.766 --> 00:09:40.866
Yeah. Sorry.

00:09:40.866 --> 00:09:42.866
I didn't realize I was, like,
talking or anything.

00:09:42.866 --> 00:09:44.899
I was like,
I got to be a couple minutes late,

00:09:46.299 --> 00:09:46.766
but. Yeah.

00:09:46.766 --> 00:09:50.666
So my oldest is also special needs,

00:09:50.666 --> 00:09:53.666
so this definitely is, place in my heart.

00:09:53.799 --> 00:09:58.599
And I'm actually part of the same troupe
that Dan Olson is involved with.

00:09:59.599 --> 00:10:00.099
Excuse me?

00:10:00.099 --> 00:10:03.099
I ran from the police, parking spot.

00:10:04.632 --> 00:10:06.266
I was like, what am I doing?

00:10:06.266 --> 00:10:07.966
And, so.

00:10:07.966 --> 00:10:12.632
And we had, another, scout
that has gone through the program.

00:10:12.899 --> 00:10:16.332
And so this is just really
it means a lot to me.

00:10:16.332 --> 00:10:19.332
And it, you know,
it really helps the students a lot.

00:10:21.632 --> 00:10:22.532
Yeah. Thank you.

00:10:22.532 --> 00:10:25.532
Thank you.

00:10:25.866 --> 00:10:29.432
You and a miss sprinkle want a photo?

00:10:29.432 --> 00:10:32.066
Yeah.

00:10:32.066 --> 00:10:33.099
All right,

00:10:33.099 --> 00:10:35.899
so we will kick things off, this evening.

00:10:35.899 --> 00:10:36.466
That's on trail.

00:10:36.466 --> 00:10:40.699
We'd like to ask, sponsor polio
as well as the entire Science

00:10:40.699 --> 00:10:44.066
Olympiad team to come forward,
for us to recognize them.

00:10:51.999 --> 00:10:55.432
Oh, what is the letter M?

00:10:55.632 --> 00:11:00.199
We have a student that's trying to get in,
but then I didn't see her outside,

00:11:00.199 --> 00:11:00.999
so I don't know.

00:11:00.999 --> 00:11:03.999
So hopefully she makes it in.

00:11:04.199 --> 00:11:05.266
Good evening, everyone.

00:11:05.266 --> 00:11:06.965

00:11:06.965 --> 00:11:11.165
Yeah, I am the Science
Olympiad, coach at Addison Trail.

00:11:11.432 --> 00:11:15.132
We were fortunate,
for the past two years

00:11:15.132 --> 00:11:19.532
to be able to compete at the state level
at McHenry College.

00:11:20.565 --> 00:11:22.832
And I'm gonna

00:11:22.832 --> 00:11:27.299
maybe just have everyone
introduce themselves and mention

00:11:27.299 --> 00:11:32.332
which event or event you competed in
and maybe what medals you received.

00:11:32.332 --> 00:11:35.332
So I'll, hand it off to Sean.

00:11:36.699 --> 00:11:39.265
My name is, Sean Eckel.

00:11:39.265 --> 00:11:42.799

and this is my partner, Eric.

00:11:45.499 --> 00:11:46.765
We did it together.

00:11:46.765 --> 00:11:49.999
You want to come down and say anything?

00:11:51.265 --> 00:11:53.532

And I just wanted to

00:13:03.732 --> 00:13:07.665
mention one more thing
that, most of the kids here are seniors.

00:13:07.665 --> 00:13:11.899
And all our seniors,
got medals at the state level,

00:13:11.899 --> 00:13:14.899
so which is a nice way to end the year.

00:13:15.732 --> 00:13:18.732
Thank you.

00:13:23.399 --> 00:13:26.532
Before I turn it over to Doctor Krauss,
I just wanted to double check.

00:13:26.532 --> 00:13:30.465
We do not have anybody from skills
USA Addison Trail here, do we?

00:13:31.165 --> 00:13:34.165
Anybody from skills USA for Addison Trail?

00:13:38.799 --> 00:13:39.132
All right.

00:13:39.132 --> 00:13:41.299
Perfect. Doctor Krauss for yours.

00:13:41.299 --> 00:13:42.099
Thank you so much.

00:13:42.099 --> 00:13:42.932
As, Mr.

00:13:42.932 --> 00:13:45.132
Andrews said,
congratulations to all the students.

00:13:45.132 --> 00:13:48.499
And certainly, for all the, families
that are here to join in

00:13:48.499 --> 00:13:49.732
and celebrate them.

00:13:49.732 --> 00:13:51.532
This is, a great night.

00:13:51.532 --> 00:13:55.132
Every year that we get a chance
to celebrate, your accomplishments,

00:13:55.132 --> 00:13:55.865
and all the hard work

00:13:55.865 --> 00:13:59.832
you put in to get to the, to the point
you were at your, competitions,

00:13:59.832 --> 00:14:02.565
but also to be recognized,
this evening together,

00:14:02.565 --> 00:14:04.565
I'm going to start
with one of our largest groups,

00:14:04.565 --> 00:14:08.665
who's consistently recognized,
at this board meeting year after year.

00:14:08.732 --> 00:14:12.532
And, our theater director, Miss Regina
Theater, will bring

00:14:12.532 --> 00:14:15.532
up the members of the cast and crew
who were able to join us this evening.

00:14:15.532 --> 00:14:15.932
Thanks.

00:14:17.532 --> 00:14:18.665
And I know you think.

00:14:18.665 --> 00:14:21.665
Give me.

00:14:27.332 --> 00:14:30.332
Thank you all for having us.

00:14:30.932 --> 00:14:31.999
And thank you, Doctor Coats.

00:14:31.999 --> 00:14:36.399
I would like to take a minute
to introduce the students who are

00:14:36.465 --> 00:14:38.099
who are able to attend this evening.

00:14:38.099 --> 00:14:41.065
Or would
you like to introduce yourselves?

00:14:41.065 --> 00:14:41.365
Okay.

00:14:41.365 --> 00:14:42.799
You can take a step over and say

00:14:42.799 --> 00:14:46.365
hi and tell them your name and what,
what you were read.

00:14:46.665 --> 00:14:48.365
Okay.

00:14:48.365 --> 00:14:50.165
Hello, I'm AJ Matthews,

00:14:50.165 --> 00:14:53.332
and I was on the flight crew
for all four years of high school,

00:14:54.465 --> 00:14:55.699
and I'm Mary Sutton.

00:14:55.699 --> 00:14:58.699
I was on construction
crew for the past three years.

00:14:58.732 --> 00:15:01.032
I'm Constantine Murano.

00:15:01.032 --> 00:15:04.032
I was the understudy for the contest play
this year.

00:15:04.899 --> 00:15:07.899
My name is Malachy Hannigan,
and I was on cast.

00:15:09.165 --> 00:15:10.499
My name is Rosemary Rosario.

00:15:10.499 --> 00:15:11.932
I was in Pan crew for one year.

00:15:13.799 --> 00:15:15.299
My name is Ian Frazier.

00:15:15.299 --> 00:15:18.299
I was on Pan crew
and have been for the past three years.

00:15:18.632 --> 00:15:22.032
Hi, I'm Sham Rodrigues and
this is my first time doing lights crew.

00:15:22.965 --> 00:15:25.665
I'm Levi Schmidt and I was on cast.

00:15:25.665 --> 00:15:28.665
I'm Sawyer was here
and I've been on sound crew.

00:15:29.065 --> 00:15:32.065
Thanks, guys.

00:15:32.065 --> 00:15:34.632
I want to take a minute
to thank our production staff

00:15:34.632 --> 00:15:38.532
who could not join us this evening
John Appel, Kim Jackson Petrella,

00:15:38.565 --> 00:15:42.732
Marcus Petrella,
Sarah Corkery, and Mary Kate Truman,

00:15:42.732 --> 00:15:45.899
have been amazing,
influential colleagues and,

00:15:46.632 --> 00:15:49.632
and wonderful teachers and leaders
for everyone on our team.

00:15:50.432 --> 00:15:53.765
62 students
participated in our state tournament.

00:15:53.999 --> 00:16:00.065
And for a play,
our play was things I know to be true.

00:16:00.599 --> 00:16:05.532
And it was a modern drama about a family
and their love for one another.

00:16:05.532 --> 00:16:11.265
And how that family dynamic changed
and evolved as the children's lives

00:16:11.532 --> 00:16:16.332
as they children got older, and as their
lives grew more and more complicated.

00:16:16.599 --> 00:16:21.432
Definitely something that I can relate to
as my son is, is growing up,

00:16:21.432 --> 00:16:24.965
and I think a lot of us as parents
can relate to that experience,

00:16:25.165 --> 00:16:29.565
and I think that is a testament
to how touching the play was, that

00:16:29.565 --> 00:16:33.299
there was never a dry eye in the house
in any of our performances.

00:16:33.399 --> 00:16:40.898
And we won the sectional tournament,
this year, which was wonderful.

00:16:40.932 --> 00:16:44.998
Four of our six cast members,
earned all sectional cast.

00:16:44.998 --> 00:16:47.998
And at the state tournament
this year, we took eighth overall.

00:16:48.032 --> 00:16:51.532
We won the tech award,
which was for teamwork

00:16:51.698 --> 00:16:54.965
in the setting up
and striking of our large set.

00:16:55.098 --> 00:16:58.498
So they recognize it for small, medium
and large cast sizes.

00:16:58.498 --> 00:17:02.132
And when we win this award, it

00:17:02.598 --> 00:17:06.732
you know, I'm so proud
because it really it's about

00:17:07.132 --> 00:17:11.698
working together and the collaboration
and the collegiality of that teamwork.

00:17:12.932 --> 00:17:14.765
And time and time again,

00:17:14.765 --> 00:17:18.132
I get comments from others teachers,

00:17:18.432 --> 00:17:23.098
some I know, some I don't, who recognize
how wonderful our kids are.

00:17:23.098 --> 00:17:26.132
And they're like, your kids work so well
together.

00:17:26.132 --> 00:17:30.265
The, the people who run the the audit,
the backstage auditorium,

00:17:30.265 --> 00:17:33.365
they're they're like union,
you know, stagehands.

00:17:33.698 --> 00:17:38.865
And year after year,
they tell me your kids are amazing.

00:17:39.365 --> 00:17:43.098
And I think that's just a testament
to their amazing work ethic

00:17:43.365 --> 00:17:46.498
and their willingness to to collaborate

00:17:46.498 --> 00:17:49.498
and hustle on that stage.

00:17:50.032 --> 00:17:52.665
I'm so proud of the risks
that the actors took.

00:17:52.665 --> 00:17:56.532
The gorgeous tech, an enormous tree

00:17:56.532 --> 00:18:01.132
that literally changed colors,
with the seasons.

00:18:01.432 --> 00:18:06.065
And Alex Maraniss was very modest,
saying he was an understudy,

00:18:06.065 --> 00:18:10.298
but he was also the guy
who hustled the top of the tree on.

00:18:10.298 --> 00:18:14.098
And it was we had
there were some trees at state, but ours

00:18:14.365 --> 00:18:18.098
was the biggest
and the prettiest in my opinion. But,

00:18:19.532 --> 00:18:22.565
we had
sound effects that created a backyard

00:18:23.565 --> 00:18:24.965
suburban environment.

00:18:24.965 --> 00:18:29.165
We had beautiful set theater,
as I said, is a collaborative art.

00:18:29.165 --> 00:18:32.432
Not only are these student artists
learning how to build sound, design,

00:18:32.432 --> 00:18:36.598
paint, light, costume, set design,
prop design, a show, working in tandem.

00:18:36.598 --> 00:18:38.265
But they're learning how to listen.

00:18:38.265 --> 00:18:41.265
They learn situational awareness
as we're taking it

00:18:41.832 --> 00:18:46.432
apart and setting it up,
they are learning and honing

00:18:46.432 --> 00:18:50.165
leadership skills as they problem solving,
and our students are

00:18:51.732 --> 00:18:52.832
doing it all.

00:18:52.832 --> 00:18:55.665
They had the

00:18:55.665 --> 00:18:57.465
I'll say it, hardest

00:18:57.465 --> 00:19:00.532
timeslot of the entire state series.

00:19:00.532 --> 00:19:02.798
We had to perform at 9 p.m.

00:19:02.798 --> 00:19:08.332
we were up and out the door
at 530 that day,

00:19:08.598 --> 00:19:12.765
and they spent the whole day performing
or watching other students and gassing up

00:19:12.765 --> 00:19:18.498
other teams from around the state
and being just amazing citizens and

00:19:19.598 --> 00:19:21.132
then they rallied.

00:19:21.132 --> 00:19:23.565
When the time came, they rallied
and they got it together,

00:19:23.565 --> 00:19:25.798
and they gave
a really beautiful performance.

00:19:25.798 --> 00:19:30.465
And the final key to that collaboration,
from the staff to the students,

00:19:30.765 --> 00:19:33.865
is the the work
and the effort involved by the parents.

00:19:33.865 --> 00:19:36.432
We had some wonderful parents
who are here tonight,

00:19:36.432 --> 00:19:39.298
who spent so much time
helping and supporting us,

00:19:39.298 --> 00:19:43.832
whether it was tech dinners
we had, we have you as as our school board

00:19:44.032 --> 00:19:47.098
and as our administration
who have been such amazing,

00:19:47.098 --> 00:19:50.098
support,

00:19:50.432 --> 00:19:54.932
I, we thank you so much,
John Apple, who's up in the U.P.

00:19:54.932 --> 00:19:58.898
right now, dealing with a, well, crisis
that is summer home

00:19:59.132 --> 00:20:02.798
said that, may try to get the trophy

00:20:02.832 --> 00:20:05.832
because we always try to bring the trophy
and the plaque and the and the

00:20:06.132 --> 00:20:09.132
and all the hardware,
but we can't, because it's

00:20:09.298 --> 00:20:12.465
under construction or auditorium
is under construction right now.

00:20:12.798 --> 00:20:16.532
And I said, well, that's just another,
you know, reason why we're grateful

00:20:16.532 --> 00:20:17.632
to be here today, right?

00:20:17.632 --> 00:20:22.298
Because we're going to be returning
to the, the school in the, in,

00:20:22.365 --> 00:20:25.332
you know, in August
with a brand new lighting system

00:20:25.332 --> 00:20:28.365
that we're really grateful for
and so excited to use.

00:20:28.732 --> 00:20:31.798
So just just be thankful for your support.

00:20:32.832 --> 00:20:34.198
It means a lot to us.

00:20:34.198 --> 00:20:37.198
Congratulations, everyone.

00:20:45.632 --> 00:20:47.698
We're going to bounce between,

00:20:47.698 --> 00:20:51.532
different groups, and coaches
and sponsors who are able to be here.

00:20:51.532 --> 00:20:54.565
So we're going
to, transition now to boys track.

00:20:54.798 --> 00:20:57.065
Coach Miller was not able to make it.

00:20:57.065 --> 00:21:00.898
But I'd like to ask Otis Powell, OJ

00:21:00.898 --> 00:21:03.898
to come forward.

00:21:11.932 --> 00:21:12.798
So I'll read.

00:21:12.798 --> 00:21:16.032
What? Coach Miller left,
on your behalf.

00:21:16.032 --> 00:21:18.098
But I also have a couple things
remaining of the

00:21:18.098 --> 00:21:20.965
to be at the state meet and watch him
compete. First, Mr.

00:21:20.965 --> 00:21:23.832
Miller, Coach Miller says, thank you,
everyone, for taking the time this evening

00:21:23.832 --> 00:21:25.232
to recognize one of our outstanding

00:21:25.232 --> 00:21:28.665
track and field athletes and students
who had a tremendous season this year.

00:21:29.165 --> 00:21:31.898
Who's Otis Powell first,
I'd like to thank Ed Sullivan personally

00:21:31.898 --> 00:21:34.165
for all he does to make
our athletic program second to none.

00:21:34.165 --> 00:21:36.098
The administrative team,
our district administration,

00:21:36.098 --> 00:21:38.832
the board of education,
our community, for all the support

00:21:38.832 --> 00:21:41.132
since our staff has led
the track and field team,

00:21:41.132 --> 00:21:43.198
they've seen tremendous
growth on the team.

00:21:43.198 --> 00:21:44.232
Not only have the numbers grown,

00:21:44.232 --> 00:21:47.232
but so has the camaraderie
and the abilities of our athletes.

00:21:47.365 --> 00:21:50.065
Also shows we have the athletes
make it down to state each year,

00:21:50.065 --> 00:21:51.498
and this number continues to grow.

00:21:51.498 --> 00:21:55.032
This year,
they not only had a OJ in the high jump,

00:21:55.232 --> 00:21:58.232
but also had teammates Jaden Royal,
who competed in the triple jump,

00:21:58.398 --> 00:22:01.398
triple jump, and Jake Couture,
both in the shotput.

00:22:01.465 --> 00:22:02.832
But for OJ, he's shown

00:22:02.832 --> 00:22:05.932
tremendous growth from his freshman year
through this year as a junior.

00:22:06.198 --> 00:22:08.098
OJ's always been a hard working athlete.

00:22:08.098 --> 00:22:10.432
This year
he is really developed as a high jumper

00:22:10.432 --> 00:22:13.831
and we expect his competence and skill to
develop even more during his senior year.

00:22:13.998 --> 00:22:18.098
This year, he was a sectional champion
with a jump of six foot ten inches.

00:22:18.665 --> 00:22:21.331
He then went on to the state
by state meet,

00:22:21.331 --> 00:22:24.598
making his mark with a seventh place
finish earning all state honors.

00:22:24.798 --> 00:22:27.031
Are extremely proud of OJ
and his accomplishments this year,

00:22:27.031 --> 00:22:28.898
and we look forward
to returning this meeting

00:22:28.898 --> 00:22:31.698
to recognize him again this year
with a little bit more hardware.

00:22:31.698 --> 00:22:33.265
Now we're just going to add
a couple of personal.

00:22:33.265 --> 00:22:37.231
I was at the state meet
and OJ cleared his height

00:22:37.231 --> 00:22:42.065
three different times on the bar
and at the very end his heel clicked it.

00:22:42.398 --> 00:22:46.431
He was already over three different times
he had jumped what the state Mark

00:22:46.431 --> 00:22:47.131
would have been.

00:22:47.131 --> 00:22:51.698
So as a junior, he's going he's going to
continue, the incredible success.

00:22:52.365 --> 00:22:56.898
But in addition, last year's
high jumper who qualified the state,

00:22:56.898 --> 00:23:00.331
Evan had set the school record
that had not been broken for

00:23:00.331 --> 00:23:04.331
I think it was 30, 40 years,
you know, so og broke with him one year.

00:23:04.531 --> 00:23:07.665
So, he now holds the school record
in the high jump.

00:23:07.665 --> 00:23:12.298
But OJ is no,
he's known throughout the building.

00:23:12.498 --> 00:23:15.131
Is an incredible student. He's
a member of the student leadership team.

00:23:15.131 --> 00:23:19.765
He's an incredible individual
and and just tremendously proud of you

00:23:19.765 --> 00:23:20.631
and your accomplishments.

00:23:20.631 --> 00:23:24.365
And, congratulations again
on what you accomplished thus far.

00:23:24.431 --> 00:23:26.965
But we're excited
to. You're only a junior here.

00:23:26.965 --> 00:23:27.965
There you go. So.

00:23:32.965 --> 00:23:35.565
I really would say,

00:23:35.565 --> 00:23:38.565
appreciate the support I have behind me.

00:23:38.965 --> 00:23:41.598
You know,

00:23:41.598 --> 00:23:43.831
I appreciate Coach Miller, my principal.

00:23:43.831 --> 00:23:46.631
For sure come down a sorts of support

00:23:46.631 --> 00:23:49.631
my family come to support,

00:23:49.998 --> 00:23:52.998
you know, so, I mean, track track.

00:23:54.331 --> 00:23:57.331
To be honest,
I thought I was, on a quick track,

00:23:57.465 --> 00:24:00.465
so I was, literally going to quit,

00:24:00.465 --> 00:24:04.965
like, a day before sectionals, and,
I went down there,

00:24:04.965 --> 00:24:08.931
and then I jumped 16
said the was first to start with indoor.

00:24:09.331 --> 00:24:09.665
Indoor.

00:24:09.665 --> 00:24:14.031
I set the indoor record of six eight
and then come in outdoor season.

00:24:14.031 --> 00:24:15.865
I was like,
you know what? I want to do this.

00:24:15.865 --> 00:24:17.898
And where, like, you know,
I got a sports deal.

00:24:17.898 --> 00:24:19.165
I don't really care.

00:24:19.165 --> 00:24:21.331
But then it was just like,
I came down here.

00:24:21.331 --> 00:24:22.365
I was feel good.

00:24:22.365 --> 00:24:25.231
I felt different,
you know, I felt different, felt like,

00:24:27.265 --> 00:24:27.965
and I went down

00:24:27.965 --> 00:24:30.965
in age of 16 and I was shocked myself
because I was this

00:24:30.998 --> 00:24:33.998
I was just about to quit the sport
that, you know, but,

00:24:34.831 --> 00:24:37.665
coach Bill, Toby told me a lot.

00:24:37.665 --> 00:24:42.831
I was like, you know, like, there's no,
like, the goal as athlete for me.

00:24:42.831 --> 00:24:44.731
I still definitely is to go Division one.

00:24:44.731 --> 00:24:47.731
That's like, I feel like it's everybody's,
you know, athletic goal.

00:24:48.165 --> 00:24:51.165
But, Coach Miller told me,

00:24:51.931 --> 00:24:54.831
later I was going to quit the after job.

00:24:54.831 --> 00:24:56.231
He was like, go quit now.

00:24:56.231 --> 00:24:58.631
I said, no, there is no point to quit.

00:24:58.631 --> 00:25:01.131
No, like, you know,
I got a lot of college in me.

00:25:01.131 --> 00:25:02.698
So now I just got

00:25:02.698 --> 00:25:06.165
wait till next season, you know, jump
higher to 16, hopefully seven foot.

00:25:06.731 --> 00:25:09.631
So, you know, just work on
improving basically.

00:25:09.631 --> 00:25:11.531
Yeah I think you spoke.

00:25:20.965 --> 00:25:22.098
All right.

00:25:22.098 --> 00:25:26.065
Our next a group of students would like
to recognize us for our SkillsUSA

00:25:26.165 --> 00:25:28.965
competition. And I'd like to have
our students come forward.

00:25:28.965 --> 00:25:32.731
I have, a couple of,
notes here from, Mr.

00:25:32.731 --> 00:25:33.698
Dunk as well.

00:25:33.698 --> 00:25:35.298
So, if Brayden, Cole

00:25:35.298 --> 00:25:38.298
or Luke have been able to make it tonight,
that would be great.

00:25:38.331 --> 00:25:41.331
Yeah.

00:25:45.531 --> 00:25:46.131
This is from Mr.

00:25:46.131 --> 00:25:46.531
Dunk.

00:25:46.531 --> 00:25:49.898
We are proud to recognize the outstanding
achievements of three of our automotive

00:25:49.898 --> 00:25:53.398
technology students who placed in the top
ten at the State Skills USA competition.

00:25:53.598 --> 00:25:55.798
These students demonstrated
exceptional technical skills,

00:25:55.798 --> 00:25:59.131
professionalism, and dedication while
competing against the best of the state.

00:25:59.531 --> 00:26:03.365
Braden matic achieved first place
in the automotive maintenance and light

00:26:03.365 --> 00:26:07.331
repair, showcasing advanced diagnostic
and repair skills along with a strong

00:26:07.331 --> 00:26:08.798
understanding of industry standards.

00:26:08.798 --> 00:26:12.898
Cole Krueger Place for IT automotive
maintenance and light repair demonstrating

00:26:12.898 --> 00:26:16.198
leadership, attention to detail
and high level of technical abilities.

00:26:16.331 --> 00:26:20.098
And then Luke Ringa earned seventh in
the automotive maintenance a light repair.

00:26:20.098 --> 00:26:22.031
If you ever have automotive maintenance
or light career

00:26:22.031 --> 00:26:24.665
issues in your vehicle, I think you want
to call it a little work auto department.

00:26:24.665 --> 00:26:27.731
So, this is where the area
that they excel for sure.

00:26:28.131 --> 00:26:30.165
And Luke excelled in both hands
on performance

00:26:30.165 --> 00:26:31.498
and problem solving under pressure.

00:26:31.498 --> 00:26:34.131
Their success reflects the high quality
instruction, rigorous training

00:26:34.131 --> 00:26:37.331
provided in our Automotive Tech
Automotive technology program.

00:26:37.331 --> 00:26:40.331
These accomplishments not only highlight
the student's individual efforts,

00:26:40.331 --> 00:26:41.931
but also bring great pride to our school.

00:26:41.931 --> 00:26:44.498
We commend these students
for their hard work and dedication.

00:26:44.498 --> 00:26:46.298
You want to go ahead, introduce yourself
and let us know.

00:26:46.298 --> 00:26:47.731
Yeah, I'm Brayden Minnick.

00:26:47.731 --> 00:26:49.498
I won first place, as you heard,

00:26:49.498 --> 00:26:53.931
I was I'm truly grateful
I took this, club skills USA.

00:26:53.931 --> 00:26:57.198
I wasn't going to at first,
but I decided to,

00:26:57.565 --> 00:27:01.731
we took a couple qualifying tests online,
and it turns out we all need.

00:27:01.731 --> 00:27:04.331
We all qualified for it.

00:27:04.331 --> 00:27:07.465
Our classmates and I,
and we headed down to Peoria,

00:27:07.465 --> 00:27:11.531
and we took a series
of, like, ten stations and

00:27:12.731 --> 00:27:14.698
it was hard.

00:27:14.698 --> 00:27:15.531
It was hard.

00:27:15.531 --> 00:27:17.798
And if it was easy, everyone would pass.

00:27:17.798 --> 00:27:20.931
But, I just tried my best.

00:27:20.931 --> 00:27:22.431
And look what happened.

00:27:22.431 --> 00:27:24.365
I tried my best, and I got first place.

00:27:24.365 --> 00:27:28.265
It was truly a shock,
you know, first place out of 500 kids.

00:27:28.398 --> 00:27:31.565
Try to take that online test
and then 60 kids that were there.

00:27:31.565 --> 00:27:35.131
I learned a lot about myself,
you know, winning or not,

00:27:35.131 --> 00:27:38.598
I learned that, you know, what I like
and what I don't like.

00:27:39.231 --> 00:27:42.465
And I truly connected
with a lot of people there.

00:27:42.465 --> 00:27:44.898
I didn't know everyone
I went to Peoria with.

00:27:44.898 --> 00:27:48.731
But, you know, having fun
in the hotel rooms and just like,

00:27:49.031 --> 00:27:50.631
going and competing with them,

00:27:50.631 --> 00:27:53.631
I think that was a truly good experience
to be a part of.

00:27:53.764 --> 00:27:57.464
And like Luke who and,
I'm good friends with them now.

00:27:57.464 --> 00:28:02.464
I actually worked with Luke, at ace,
and I just want to thank Mr.

00:28:02.464 --> 00:28:04.031
Dunn for being such a great teacher.

00:28:04.031 --> 00:28:07.164
Plan on taking automotive technology
three next year.

00:28:07.164 --> 00:28:10.631
And just keep on learning and try again.

00:28:11.064 --> 00:28:13.998
And next year for. Oh, so congratulations.

00:28:13.998 --> 00:28:14.331
Thank you.

00:28:17.931 --> 00:28:19.564
And great brains.

00:28:19.564 --> 00:28:20.364
Only a sophomore.

00:28:20.364 --> 00:28:21.231
So he'll be back.

00:28:21.231 --> 00:28:24.498
So yeah congrats on winning that picture
right.

00:28:24.898 --> 00:28:27.898
Thanks.

00:28:29.598 --> 00:28:33.498
I'd like to ask, coach Nick Hildreth
to come forward, to introduce,

00:28:33.498 --> 00:28:36.498
two of our softball players
who've been honored at the state level.

00:28:45.698 --> 00:28:49.798
And. I before I get

00:28:49.798 --> 00:28:52.831
started, LJ does a really good Coach
Miller impression.

00:28:52.831 --> 00:28:55.031
I think you could have

00:28:55.031 --> 00:28:56.898
you could have just had him read it,
and I think it would have been.

00:28:56.898 --> 00:28:57.898
It would have been spot on.

00:28:57.898 --> 00:29:02.531
Thanks for taking the opportunity
to, to, to recognize to these two

00:29:02.531 --> 00:29:06.231
and all the athletes and clubs and groups,
they deserve it.

00:29:06.231 --> 00:29:09.731
And, I will go through a couple of things
about them is not the reason

00:29:09.731 --> 00:29:12.731
why they are all state.

00:29:12.831 --> 00:29:14.731
They're all all state
based on what they did on the field.

00:29:14.731 --> 00:29:15.564
But it's no surprise,

00:29:15.564 --> 00:29:19.098
based on what they do off the field,
that this is the way that it goes.

00:29:19.098 --> 00:29:23.931
So last summer, I got the job late, just
before the season had started a year ago.

00:29:24.464 --> 00:29:26.898
So we try to do some additional summer
camps and things like that.

00:29:26.898 --> 00:29:30.498
So they each ran their own
individual summer camp for,

00:29:30.498 --> 00:29:31.898
youth, within our community.

00:29:31.898 --> 00:29:33.564
So Sony did one, for hitting.

00:29:33.564 --> 00:29:34.598
I did one for slapping.

00:29:34.598 --> 00:29:37.198
And it's not an easy process.

00:29:37.198 --> 00:29:38.231
You've got young girls in there.

00:29:38.231 --> 00:29:40.031
You may not get as many as you think
you're going to get.

00:29:40.031 --> 00:29:42.164
You've got some who've never played
before, some that are high level.

00:29:42.164 --> 00:29:44.198
But that's something that they took
the time to do in the summer.

00:29:44.198 --> 00:29:46.331
And I'm just there to supervise.

00:29:46.331 --> 00:29:48.098
But it's their camp
and they totally run it,

00:29:48.098 --> 00:29:50.198
which is a lot more meaningful
to the girls in our community.

00:29:50.198 --> 00:29:53.198
To do then later on, in the winter,

00:29:53.698 --> 00:29:57.131
we had a clinic through Woodville
Park Softball, and these were the two

00:29:57.131 --> 00:30:01.598
that I called upon again to go in there
to group of, adults and dads

00:30:01.598 --> 00:30:04.731
and not really like necessarily coaches
and some people that who may be new

00:30:04.731 --> 00:30:07.498
to the sport, new to attempting
to help out within the community

00:30:07.498 --> 00:30:08.564
and do those things from there.

00:30:08.564 --> 00:30:10.098
So these are the two that then,

00:30:10.098 --> 00:30:14.331
I called upon again to come in, run
that clinic, go through, both of them.

00:30:14.331 --> 00:30:16.998
It just everyday drills things off
the tee, just work and things

00:30:16.998 --> 00:30:17.664
along those lines.

00:30:17.664 --> 00:30:21.131
So like, they're investing within our
community in the girls, in our community.

00:30:21.331 --> 00:30:22.564
And that's the uniqueness of the sport,

00:30:22.564 --> 00:30:26.564
to get the rest of the young girls
within our community excited about it.

00:30:26.631 --> 00:30:28.564
What it is,
there's no two better represent,

00:30:28.564 --> 00:30:31.731
no girls to represent our program,
within our community than these two.

00:30:31.731 --> 00:30:35.431
So they do those things already,
then the games start,

00:30:35.431 --> 00:30:38.264
and then the rest of it
kind of takes care of itself.

00:30:38.264 --> 00:30:40.598
So it's no surprise of the success
that they've had.

00:30:40.598 --> 00:30:43.498
They've both been up here multiple times
now, as well.

00:30:43.498 --> 00:30:46.431
I mean, both have unique paths,
I think, to get to this point this year.

00:30:46.431 --> 00:30:50.598
I'll, I'll start with Ali,
who was, All-State last year as well.

00:30:50.798 --> 00:30:54.264
And I think, the hard part about this
game is you're going to prepare

00:30:54.264 --> 00:30:55.331
and do all these things,

00:30:55.331 --> 00:30:59.264
and then even if you hit 300, that means
you failed seven, 70% of the time.

00:30:59.431 --> 00:31:00.964
Like, it's miserable, like,
so you go out and you,

00:31:00.964 --> 00:31:02.331
you think you're ready
to do all these things.

00:31:02.331 --> 00:31:05.331
Well, and it is just failure after failure
after failure after failure,

00:31:05.464 --> 00:31:07.764
even if those numbers look good
compared to everybody else,

00:31:07.764 --> 00:31:09.998
you're just failing all the time.
All the time. So.

00:31:09.998 --> 00:31:10.931
So that's tough.

00:31:10.931 --> 00:31:11.698
That's a tough path.

00:31:11.698 --> 00:31:15.464
So, additionally, looking at it as the
season ends, I'm not looking very in-depth

00:31:15.898 --> 00:31:18.898
at the numbers when I'm going to nominate
athletes and things like that.

00:31:19.531 --> 00:31:22.098
And to Ali's credit,
she had hit a little dip

00:31:22.098 --> 00:31:23.431
throughout the season this year,

00:31:23.431 --> 00:31:26.564
and it really would have been easy
to probably take a different type of path.

00:31:26.564 --> 00:31:30.131
But instead of that, then I go back
and look at the numbers, and she's on base

00:31:30.131 --> 00:31:31.998
more than she was a year ago,
which I wouldn't have thought.

00:31:31.998 --> 00:31:32.831
She's walking more.

00:31:32.831 --> 00:31:34.231
She has almost triple

00:31:34.231 --> 00:31:36.298
the amount of stolen bases,
like all the other little things

00:31:36.298 --> 00:31:38.298
that are going to help
make our team better.

00:31:38.298 --> 00:31:39.198
She continues to do.

00:31:39.198 --> 00:31:41.564
And her numbers get into a spot
where I do that and feel comfortable

00:31:41.564 --> 00:31:43.598
nominating her at the state level
and put it up,

00:31:43.598 --> 00:31:46.698
and so proud that she, earned that honor
because she deserves it.

00:31:46.698 --> 00:31:48.698
And it wasn't. It's not easy.

00:31:48.698 --> 00:31:51.831
And it's a small sample size
when you play 31 games.

00:31:52.198 --> 00:31:53.864
They're going to play
a ton of games in the summer

00:31:53.864 --> 00:31:56.064
and have a ton more bats,
but it's a very small sample size.

00:31:56.064 --> 00:31:59.564
And to see, what she's able to accomplish
when she wasn't getting her best at bats

00:31:59.564 --> 00:32:02.998
and didn't probably play up
to her potential, but still be playing,

00:32:02.998 --> 00:32:03.698
at this level.

00:32:03.698 --> 00:32:06.064
So I'm just honored to
have been a part of it

00:32:06.064 --> 00:32:08.664
and seen it and seen the process,
that she's worked through.

00:32:08.664 --> 00:32:11.131
And do that and she's continuing
to give back to the community

00:32:11.131 --> 00:32:13.364
that at our camps the last three weeks
and then again, had

00:32:13.364 --> 00:32:15.131
our younger girls in there, today.

00:32:15.131 --> 00:32:17.031
And she's had all of those things
helping out.

00:32:17.031 --> 00:32:19.898
Our girls and, and doing a great job,
within the community.

00:32:19.898 --> 00:32:22.598
And then, Sonya.

00:32:22.598 --> 00:32:26.431
So Sonya is super, super simple
as far as, what her year was,

00:32:26.431 --> 00:32:28.031
I went back through all of our games.

00:32:28.031 --> 00:32:30.731
If you we we won 16 games.

00:32:30.731 --> 00:32:35.531
If you intentionally walked her every time
she stepped up, we win five games.

00:32:36.298 --> 00:32:37.431
It's that simple.

00:32:37.431 --> 00:32:39.864
I just stop it.
Just stop. Like, just stop pitching it.

00:32:39.864 --> 00:32:42.831
And then people kept doing it,
and I was like, okay, go for feel free.

00:32:42.831 --> 00:32:44.964
Like you throw a strike. She hit over 500.

00:32:44.964 --> 00:32:46.931
So when we talk about like, success
and sitting there

00:32:46.931 --> 00:32:49.764
and some of these are really, really good
players in 300 she's hitting over 500.

00:32:49.764 --> 00:32:51.964
Anything
that's in the zone, she's hitting it hard.

00:32:51.964 --> 00:32:55.731
The ball comes off her bat different
and people just I don't know

00:32:55.731 --> 00:32:57.598
why, I don't know.
I was happy when they did.

00:32:57.598 --> 00:32:58.798
If we played them, I wouldn't.

00:32:58.798 --> 00:33:01.698
I if you just looked at it
and went through and developed

00:33:01.698 --> 00:33:03.931
and created a scouting report,
I never would a pitcher.

00:33:03.931 --> 00:33:04.931
If we if we played against her.

00:33:04.931 --> 00:33:05.764
But people kept doing it.

00:33:05.764 --> 00:33:08.198
So I appreciate that.

00:33:08.198 --> 00:33:13.631
So, her path to this was she was hitting
608 games into our season last year.

00:33:13.831 --> 00:33:19.064
I won't go through the specifics
of the injury, the way that it happened,

00:33:19.064 --> 00:33:20.831
after a home run, someone else's home run

00:33:20.831 --> 00:33:23.231
coming out of the dugout,
she broke her foot, broke her ankle.

00:33:23.231 --> 00:33:24.764
Really, horrific injury.

00:33:24.764 --> 00:33:27.531
And it was a long, long process
and path to come back.

00:33:27.531 --> 00:33:30.331
And her and I talked a lot
just about the mental is coming back from,

00:33:30.331 --> 00:33:31.764
I think more so than the physicals.

00:33:31.764 --> 00:33:35.431
So again she's on a massive,
trajectory of where she was going to go

00:33:35.431 --> 00:33:36.397
and she's still going to be a Division

00:33:36.397 --> 00:33:40.064
one softball player at, University
of Indianapolis, Indiana at Indianapolis.

00:33:40.831 --> 00:33:44.531
But to get to that point and
to have that injury that really disrupted

00:33:44.531 --> 00:33:47.597
her entire high school year, barely
got any at bats in the summer season.

00:33:47.597 --> 00:33:51.731
Have to really come back from that long
path and physically and mentally fight

00:33:51.731 --> 00:33:55.064
through that whole process to come back,
and then have such a good season

00:33:55.064 --> 00:33:59.664
this year, and earn this accolade and,
and I'm sure more will be coming.

00:34:00.297 --> 00:34:03.864
It was, it was really impressive to see,
and to watch, this year.

00:34:03.864 --> 00:34:07.031
So, for me, it's just an honor
and a pleasure to be a part of,

00:34:07.031 --> 00:34:09.731
of her career, and Alex career
the last couple of years

00:34:09.731 --> 00:34:12.364
and going into her senior year,
well deserved honors.

00:34:12.364 --> 00:34:14.297
And like I said, not surprised at all
the air in this.

00:34:14.297 --> 00:34:16.064
And Mr. Andrews has kind of developed
something new.

00:34:16.064 --> 00:34:18.397
I haven't been at one of these
where you have the athletes talk.

00:34:18.397 --> 00:34:19.597
I'm sure this is an opportunity.

00:34:19.597 --> 00:34:22.364
You guys would love to step in
front of the mic and go, I'm just joking.

00:34:23.431 --> 00:34:25.164
Unless you want to.

00:34:25.164 --> 00:34:26.697
You. That's all you got?

00:34:26.697 --> 00:34:28.097
All right.

00:34:28.097 --> 00:34:31.097
Ali and you.

00:34:37.631 --> 00:34:38.731
The next two individuals we like to

00:34:38.731 --> 00:34:42.364
recognize are from our math team,
Asha Hussain and Haruki Yamada.

00:34:42.764 --> 00:34:44.964
I think only Asher's with us,
this evening.

00:34:44.964 --> 00:34:48.997
But they competed as a team, and,
the coaches, provided a few words.

00:34:48.997 --> 00:34:51.931
I know Asher was going to say a few words,
this evening as well.

00:34:51.931 --> 00:34:54.131
So Asher and her rookie
have been key members of the team

00:34:54.131 --> 00:34:55.031
for the past several years.

00:34:55.031 --> 00:34:57.464
They have qualified for state
in individual and team events.

00:34:57.464 --> 00:35:00.031
The two person
competition is very difficult,

00:35:00.031 --> 00:35:02.397
and we rarely have teams qualified
for state teams

00:35:02.397 --> 00:35:05.564
or to work together to answer questions
first within a set period.

00:35:05.731 --> 00:35:06.597
Set time period.

00:35:06.597 --> 00:35:09.631
Teams have to be fast at math
and have good teamwork to do well.

00:35:09.797 --> 00:35:13.464
Asher and a rookie have been competing in
to the two person event

00:35:13.664 --> 00:35:16.297
since they joined the team,
but they've never had the opportunity

00:35:16.297 --> 00:35:17.864
to work together until this year.

00:35:17.864 --> 00:35:21.031
They've been an amazing team this season
and we've received many compliments

00:35:21.031 --> 00:35:23.464
about them from our team, coaches
from other schools.

00:35:23.464 --> 00:35:24.097
We're so happy

00:35:24.097 --> 00:35:27.197
that their hard work has paid off
and they placed fifth in the state.

00:35:27.297 --> 00:35:29.797
It's a huge accomplishment
and congratulations.

00:35:29.797 --> 00:35:33.431
And as you know,
no stranger to the Board of Education

00:35:33.431 --> 00:35:36.131
as well as being recognized
as one of the best this year.

00:35:36.131 --> 00:35:38.831
But congratulations, Asher,
on a great season with the Mat team.

00:35:38.831 --> 00:35:39.697
Do you want to say a few words?

00:35:43.297 --> 00:35:45.064
Yeah,

00:35:45.064 --> 00:35:48.231
yeah, it's been an honor
representing the school throughout

00:35:49.331 --> 00:35:52.631
this competition because it helps me use
my helps me and many others

00:35:52.631 --> 00:35:57.731
use the abilities that we love so much
to show, to show other schools

00:35:57.731 --> 00:36:00.764
that Willowbrook has a community
that's passionate mathematics

00:36:02.264 --> 00:36:05.331
throughout our practice,
not only throughout this competition,

00:36:05.331 --> 00:36:09.731
but throughout our practices and meets
that have got us to the state we've.

00:36:11.331 --> 00:36:13.031
We've supported each other

00:36:13.031 --> 00:36:16.531
throughout, throughout our interest
and determination.

00:36:16.531 --> 00:36:18.497
And I'm going to miss us,
and I'm going to miss school

00:36:18.497 --> 00:36:21.864
for having such an opportunity,
because it really helped me.

00:36:21.864 --> 00:36:25.364
It will help me find a lot of people
that I can hang out

00:36:25.364 --> 00:36:28.364
with and, and be cool with.

00:36:28.431 --> 00:36:31.431
Thank you.

00:36:34.764 --> 00:36:36.531
I'm going to get a quick picture.

00:36:36.531 --> 00:36:37.397
I think I.

00:36:44.831 --> 00:36:46.331
Like I'd like to ask, Coach

00:36:46.331 --> 00:36:51.764
Andy Isaacson for our combined, co-op boys
gymnastics team, to come forward.

00:36:51.764 --> 00:36:55.931
And he's gonna introduce our two students,
and athletes that earned All-State

00:36:55.931 --> 00:36:58.931
honors at the state boys gymnastics meet.

00:37:08.364 --> 00:37:09.731
I can't speak as fast as Nick,

00:37:09.731 --> 00:37:12.731
so you have to bear with me a little bit.

00:37:12.897 --> 00:37:16.697
Hey, I want to, as a community manager,
you guys can come up here to just.

00:37:16.697 --> 00:37:19.231
These are always bittersweet
for the seniors, but to thank the board

00:37:19.231 --> 00:37:22.431
members for taking the time out
to recognize all of these kids.

00:37:23.397 --> 00:37:27.797
And it's really, a true measure
of a comprehensive, qualitative school

00:37:27.797 --> 00:37:28.297
district.

00:37:28.297 --> 00:37:32.197
And I also want to thank Charlie Hoehn,
the media guru

00:37:32.197 --> 00:37:36.131
here, who actually took the time out
to, motivate our kids.

00:37:36.131 --> 00:37:39.364
Being an Addison Trail alumni and a past
gymnast at Addison Trail,

00:37:40.431 --> 00:37:40.931
I want to thank

00:37:40.931 --> 00:37:44.331
Dan, who's not just there at events,
but he's actually there at events.

00:37:44.697 --> 00:37:47.397
He doesn't just show up to be there.

00:37:47.397 --> 00:37:50.631
And I want to thank Ed Sullivan
for his many pep talks for the kids.

00:37:51.131 --> 00:37:54.864
I've been doing this for 45 years,
so a lot of that really makes a difference

00:37:54.864 --> 00:37:57.864
for me.
He actually let us in team. Cheers.

00:37:58.397 --> 00:38:02.331
Ed was like an assistant coach,
and in my mind, Ed made every kid

00:38:02.331 --> 00:38:06.631
that went out for sports feel special
and needed in the programs that we had.

00:38:06.631 --> 00:38:09.631
He didn't just do his job,
he did more than his job.

00:38:09.731 --> 00:38:12.231
And again,
to thank the parents of Danny and Jay,

00:38:12.231 --> 00:38:15.231
who not only supported their sons,
but all of the kids on the team.

00:38:15.531 --> 00:38:20.531
Hey, Charlie, if you're back there
before I talk on behalf of Jay and Danny,

00:38:20.531 --> 00:38:21.564
if we have a

00:38:21.564 --> 00:38:24.997
clip of two of their a fraction
of what they did to earn their success.

00:38:25.364 --> 00:38:26.564
Charlie, if you can hear me.

00:38:29.197 --> 00:38:29.531
This is

00:38:29.531 --> 00:38:32.531
John Vault doing a double front
with a half turn.

00:38:33.564 --> 00:38:36.564
And gymnastics is hard, but doing it

00:38:36.564 --> 00:38:39.564
well is even harder.

00:38:46.264 --> 00:38:48.731
And there's countless of hours
that go into that.

00:38:48.731 --> 00:38:51.464
And next
you're going to see Danny on High Bar.

00:38:51.464 --> 00:38:53.930
And our guys here,
they didn't just do high school.

00:38:53.930 --> 00:38:56.597
They did college skills this year.

00:38:56.597 --> 00:38:58.764
And it's pretty hairy
standing under the bar.

00:38:58.764 --> 00:39:01.597
I have to admit, as an old man

00:39:01.597 --> 00:39:04.597
trying to catch him.

00:39:04.630 --> 00:39:07.630
I had a problem with my finger
that me too.

00:39:13.664 --> 00:39:15.097
A lot of hard work goes into this.

00:39:15.097 --> 00:39:16.064
Very talented kids.

00:39:16.064 --> 00:39:19.064
As you can see.

00:39:22.197 --> 00:39:24.164
See if it.

00:39:24.164 --> 00:39:26.164
Opens up. Charlie.

00:39:26.164 --> 00:39:27.064
That's all right.

00:39:27.064 --> 00:39:30.064
He's going to do a double backflip
for the for the dismount.

00:39:30.164 --> 00:39:31.764
That's something that's just.

00:39:31.764 --> 00:39:34.264
Hey, I want to talk about Jay.

00:39:34.264 --> 00:39:35.197
First year of jail.

00:39:35.197 --> 00:39:36.130
Come up to the front here.

00:39:36.130 --> 00:39:38.264
Jay was a state finalist for us.

00:39:38.264 --> 00:39:39.730
Now, you saw the double there.

00:39:39.730 --> 00:39:41.797
He's pretty pumped up.

00:39:44.197 --> 00:39:44.997
It looks easy.

00:39:44.997 --> 00:39:47.997
It's not easy to do. No.

00:39:48.297 --> 00:39:49.030
I get the shakes.

00:39:49.030 --> 00:39:52.264
Even now, at my age,
watching it, Jay was a state finalist.

00:39:52.264 --> 00:39:56.197
His freshman, sophomore and junior year
and multiple events.

00:39:56.197 --> 00:39:58.130
He's been numerous conference champion.

00:39:58.130 --> 00:40:01.130
He's an all state
vaulter, scored as high as a 9.5.

00:40:01.430 --> 00:40:04.264
And Jay was the first Illinois high school
athlete

00:40:04.264 --> 00:40:07.830
to do a triple back
dismount off high bar in that state meet.

00:40:07.830 --> 00:40:10.597
And I've been around a long time,
about a half a century.

00:40:10.597 --> 00:40:11.564
That's a college scale.

00:40:11.564 --> 00:40:14.464
He's the first kid to do that
in Illinois history.

00:40:14.464 --> 00:40:18.130
Next year, Jay should probably be
an All-State athlete on 3 or 4 events,

00:40:18.730 --> 00:40:21.730
and he actually should be
a potential state champion.

00:40:22.330 --> 00:40:26.597
Senior Danny Harvey here is always
bittersweet when you know they got to go.

00:40:26.597 --> 00:40:29.597
State finalists
all four years of high school

00:40:29.797 --> 00:40:34.230
all state, sophomore, junior, senior, year
finalist, second

00:40:34.230 --> 00:40:37.497
and voting by the Coaches Association
for the Senior Gymnast of the year.

00:40:38.197 --> 00:40:39.164
Very close.

00:40:39.164 --> 00:40:40.997
And Danny is the school record holder,

00:40:42.064 --> 00:40:44.864
including
five Willowbrook State champions.

00:40:44.864 --> 00:40:46.564
I've coached three of them.

00:40:46.564 --> 00:40:51.364
Danny's
high scoring floor is a 9.69.7 on vault

00:40:51.364 --> 00:40:55.230
and parallel bars, and a 9.55,
which are phenomenal scores.

00:40:55.897 --> 00:40:59.264
And for doing this for a while,
every coach likes to have accomplishments.

00:40:59.264 --> 00:41:00.664
These are my accomplishments.

00:41:00.664 --> 00:41:02.530
It's not the scores, it's not the skills.

00:41:02.530 --> 00:41:05.530
It's not the medals and the trophies
and the ribbons.

00:41:06.230 --> 00:41:07.797
It's because they these two were

00:41:07.797 --> 00:41:10.797
an inspiration to their teammates
and as well as myself.

00:41:11.830 --> 00:41:13.830
90% of our team

00:41:13.830 --> 00:41:16.630
that took sixth place in the state meet

00:41:16.630 --> 00:41:18.730
never did gymnastics before.

00:41:18.730 --> 00:41:21.264
They came out as a sophomore
in a junior in high school.

00:41:21.264 --> 00:41:24.264
So you can imagine to do a double backflip
offerings.

00:41:24.497 --> 00:41:27.497
It's pretty special
considering where they came from.

00:41:27.897 --> 00:41:30.730
In large part,
their success was due to these two people.

00:41:30.730 --> 00:41:33.430
They inspired them to do the things that
they wouldn't or couldn't do

00:41:34.530 --> 00:41:35.230
as young men,

00:41:35.230 --> 00:41:40.130
their determination, dedication
and leadership is an is the accomplishment

00:41:40.130 --> 00:41:44.264
that hopefully they'll take with them
after this is all said and done

00:41:44.830 --> 00:41:47.830
and that feeling,

00:41:48.230 --> 00:41:52.297
that determination can last a lifetime
as we go through life as we know.

00:41:52.797 --> 00:41:56.997
And they did prove the adage many times
this season, and I speak for the other

00:41:56.997 --> 00:42:00.264
people here, you don't have to have
the highest score to be a winner,

00:42:01.097 --> 00:42:04.097
and you don't have to take first place
to be a champion.

00:42:05.530 --> 00:42:07.097
You just have to be that athlete

00:42:07.097 --> 00:42:10.364
to get that team made,
to make our team, that team.

00:42:10.364 --> 00:42:11.764
And they did that.

00:42:11.764 --> 00:42:13.597
They both went through horrific injuries.

00:42:13.597 --> 00:42:15.330
A junior year,

00:42:15.330 --> 00:42:18.797
Jay tore completely, tore the ligaments
in his elbow, put a huge elbow brace on

00:42:18.797 --> 00:42:21.797
and did a round of flip flop
double back with the brace on.

00:42:22.264 --> 00:42:25.264
Right before the state meet,
Danny completely tore his left

00:42:25.430 --> 00:42:27.230
during the back uprights cross on rings.

00:42:29.764 --> 00:42:31.030
We had to pull him off the event.

00:42:31.030 --> 00:42:34.630
Every event as a parent
and he was geared up

00:42:34.630 --> 00:42:37.730
to do very well
on the team was geared up to make it so.

00:42:37.730 --> 00:42:40.364
This year they were on a mission

00:42:40.364 --> 00:42:43.364
and as a coach again
for doing this for quite some time.

00:42:43.930 --> 00:42:47.564
I, along with the others, are very,
very lucky and fortunate to have shared

00:42:47.564 --> 00:42:49.230
the journey with these two individuals.

00:42:49.230 --> 00:42:52.230
It never gets old how many,
how many years we've been doing this

00:42:52.830 --> 00:42:56.864
and in parting they will always be family
and I will always appreciate them.

00:42:56.864 --> 00:42:58.064
And the concept of I can.

00:42:58.064 --> 00:43:01.064
We will thank you very much for your time.

00:43:06.297 --> 00:43:09.664
I mean, coach,
I said pretty much what I wanted to say.

00:43:09.664 --> 00:43:11.230
I can really say put it better myself.

00:43:12.164 --> 00:43:13.997
And I'm super grateful

00:43:13.997 --> 00:43:17.264
to have flown the colors silver and blue
on my back for the past four years.

00:43:17.830 --> 00:43:20.830
Excuse me,
especially with the gymnastics program,

00:43:20.830 --> 00:43:21.364
because it's something

00:43:21.364 --> 00:43:24.364
it's like the main sport that I've done
pretty much my whole life

00:43:24.597 --> 00:43:27.597
since, like I can't remember one.

00:43:27.797 --> 00:43:30.530
But you get the opportunity
to meet some really, special

00:43:30.530 --> 00:43:34.097
people beyond just other athletes, beyond
just your teammates.

00:43:34.497 --> 00:43:37.764
You get to meet other coaches
and judges as well and get to connect.

00:43:37.764 --> 00:43:40.930
And we had the blessing
of having the support from

00:43:40.930 --> 00:43:43.930
pretty much the whole Illinois
high school gymnastics community,

00:43:44.030 --> 00:43:47.030
especially after the tragedy
that was last year.

00:43:47.264 --> 00:43:50.397
And for this year,
it was something really special,

00:43:50.397 --> 00:43:53.964
something that I'm really proud to go off
on, even though I didn't really perform

00:43:53.964 --> 00:43:54.930
my best.

00:43:54.930 --> 00:43:58.764
It's to look at as a major success
compared to last year,

00:43:59.730 --> 00:44:02.430
especially seeing with my injury,
his injury,

00:44:02.430 --> 00:44:05.564
and then, the drop in team morale
that followed that.

00:44:06.930 --> 00:44:13.997
But, yeah, to serve the school, like,
thank you to the principal, the,

00:44:13.997 --> 00:44:17.064
athletic director, the coaches, teammates
for all the opportunities

00:44:17.064 --> 00:44:21.797
and especially my family in the back
who have been my number one supporter.

00:44:22.164 --> 00:44:25.164
No matter how ugly things got.

00:44:31.397 --> 00:44:33.263
In the

00:44:33.263 --> 00:44:34.463
it also should be noted.

00:44:34.463 --> 00:44:36.230
I know he's incredibly humble about it.

00:44:36.230 --> 00:44:39.097
But Andy Isaacson was named
the Illinois High School Gymnastics

00:44:39.097 --> 00:44:41.363
Coaches Association Coach of the year
this year.

00:44:41.363 --> 00:44:44.363
So congratulations.

00:44:48.097 --> 00:44:48.797
Our next group,

00:44:48.797 --> 00:44:52.663
that we'd like to recognize is Science
Olympiad and like to ask our sponsor, Mr.

00:44:52.663 --> 00:44:53.930
Ben Penske, to come forward

00:44:53.930 --> 00:44:56.730
with the students who had competed,
at the state level this year.

00:45:05.563 --> 00:45:08.663
At the, Illinois Science Olympiad
individual tournament

00:45:08.663 --> 00:45:13.597
this year, we had eight
students from Willowbrook, to compete.

00:45:14.097 --> 00:45:16.397
Three are here with us today.

00:45:16.397 --> 00:45:18.197
It was with great pride.

00:45:18.197 --> 00:45:22.697
And speaking also for coach Cat Bush
and Schmidt that all eight students

00:45:22.697 --> 00:45:25.697
medaled at the, individual tournament.

00:45:25.930 --> 00:45:29.863
And, what we have here
is, is our rising juniors.

00:45:30.397 --> 00:45:31.930
I think that's what we call,
you know. Right.

00:45:31.930 --> 00:45:36.663
But the the seniors
all seem to have gone on their way, so

00:45:36.897 --> 00:45:39.797
but this is this is the core of the team.

00:45:39.797 --> 00:45:41.330
And I would say and

00:45:41.330 --> 00:45:45.397
I probably the other coaches would agree,
they push us harder than we push them.

00:45:45.397 --> 00:45:51.363
And, you know, they're always seeking us
out and asking to work together.

00:45:52.063 --> 00:45:54.363
I was lucky enough to work
with all three of these students

00:45:54.363 --> 00:45:56.297
and some of the events they're working on.

00:45:56.297 --> 00:46:00.130
And so I, I guess I'll let them do guys

00:46:00.163 --> 00:46:03.363
one, I'll have them introduce themselves
or do you want me to do it?

00:46:05.397 --> 00:46:07.330
For you, it's.

00:46:07.330 --> 00:46:10.563
Hello, I'm Claire Brennan,
and I did astronomy and,

00:46:10.563 --> 00:46:13.563
electric vehicle, and I placed third
in state for both of them.

00:46:14.330 --> 00:46:15.697
Hi, I'm Rosemarie Rosario.

00:46:15.697 --> 00:46:19.063
I placed fifth in entomology at state,
and I thought that studying.

00:46:19.063 --> 00:46:22.063
I never thought that studying bugs
would actually get me a medal at state.

00:46:24.763 --> 00:46:26.130
Hi, my name is Sharon Siddiqi.

00:46:26.130 --> 00:46:29.130
I did forensics and I got fifth place.

00:46:35.163 --> 00:46:38.697
It's a really good cross-section
of our our team abilities.

00:46:38.697 --> 00:46:42.130
Here. We have a build event, champion.

00:46:42.130 --> 00:46:46.597
And we have a study event and a lab event,
champion here too.

00:46:46.597 --> 00:46:50.097
So, this is a really nice
representative of our team.

00:46:50.430 --> 00:46:53.430
And like I said,
they are the core of our future. So.

00:47:02.030 --> 00:47:05.363
And our, final group to be recognized
this evening is fresh off

00:47:05.363 --> 00:47:08.363
their summer games,
at state for Special Olympics.

00:47:08.563 --> 00:47:11.397
So I like to ask Mr. Murphy,
and I think Mr.

00:47:11.397 --> 00:47:14.697
Dan Hay is here as well to come forward,
with our two

00:47:14.697 --> 00:47:18.230
outstanding athletes,
from the Summer games this past weekend.

00:47:22.597 --> 00:47:25.597
Looking.

00:47:26.563 --> 00:47:26.797
Okay.

00:47:26.797 --> 00:47:28.597
Camp here, right here in.

00:47:28.597 --> 00:47:29.430
Yeah. All right.

00:47:29.430 --> 00:47:31.530
We're locked in.

00:47:31.530 --> 00:47:32.263
Good evening.

00:47:32.263 --> 00:47:34.030
Thank you guys so much for having us.

00:47:34.030 --> 00:47:37.097
And recognizing us tonight
at this board meeting.

00:47:37.097 --> 00:47:42.163
It's it's so obvious
that district 88 is a trailblazer.

00:47:42.163 --> 00:47:45.163
Trailblazer.

00:47:45.730 --> 00:47:48.463
When it comes to inclusion, obviously,
it was pretty evident tonight

00:47:48.463 --> 00:47:50.997
to see all of the different ways
in which that's true.

00:47:50.997 --> 00:47:53.497
So thank you
to all of you for supporting that.

00:47:53.497 --> 00:47:57.963
Having it be important and,
continuing our success because,

00:47:58.430 --> 00:47:59.897
without all of you,
it wouldn't be possible.

00:47:59.897 --> 00:48:00.963
So thank you.

00:48:00.963 --> 00:48:03.630
We had a busy year

00:48:03.630 --> 00:48:06.630
this year with our, Special Olympics
track program.

00:48:07.097 --> 00:48:09.797
We hosted our third annual
track meet where?

00:48:09.797 --> 00:48:10.863
Mr. Cline, where?

00:48:10.863 --> 00:48:14.397
And a Sir Terence Miller and some of
these guys who are actually here as well.

00:48:15.063 --> 00:48:19.230
They helped us throw an amazing track meet
where, parents always come up and say

00:48:19.230 --> 00:48:23.063
they're so impressed with the way
that our student athletes, you know,

00:48:23.063 --> 00:48:27.763
look to help our Special Olympians
and make it a really inclusive place.

00:48:27.763 --> 00:48:32.363
So, our district eight students
are so lucky to have these opportunities.

00:48:32.363 --> 00:48:34.030
So thank you again for that.

00:48:34.030 --> 00:48:36.230
We have here with us today
two incredible young men.

00:48:36.230 --> 00:48:41.963
We have Ryan and we have Aiden,
and both athletes participated as Doctor

00:48:41.963 --> 00:48:44.963
Crawford at the Summer games at ASU
this past weekend.

00:48:45.130 --> 00:48:46.263
It was extremely hot.

00:48:47.563 --> 00:48:50.263
It was much like today, a very steamy day.

00:48:50.263 --> 00:48:51.930
And we made it through, with,

00:48:51.930 --> 00:48:56.030
some event cancellations towards, 1:00
and we made it right under the wire.

00:48:56.030 --> 00:48:57.830
So we got to compete in all of our events.

00:48:57.830 --> 00:49:00.230
So this is Ryan, Rincon.

00:49:00.230 --> 00:49:01.963
He participated in the softball throw.

00:49:01.963 --> 00:49:04.663
And as you can see here,
he earned a silver medal,

00:49:04.663 --> 00:49:08.397
which you can see, Ryan
is a ninth grader, and he participated

00:49:08.397 --> 00:49:10.930
in all of our special effects activities
this year.

00:49:10.930 --> 00:49:13.430
He, as you can
tell, is just a ray of sunshine.

00:49:13.430 --> 00:49:15.530
He is a friend to every single person.

00:49:15.530 --> 00:49:18.397
He was, shouting to Aiden
across the way in the back

00:49:18.397 --> 00:49:20.130
there, making sure
that these two connected,

00:49:20.130 --> 00:49:23.563
really beautiful part of the weekend
was just seeing these two

00:49:23.730 --> 00:49:25.763
find a friendship that they have in class.

00:49:25.763 --> 00:49:27.897
But we're able to further it out at ICU.

00:49:27.897 --> 00:49:31.263
So, Ryan's lovely family was with us.

00:49:31.263 --> 00:49:31.663
His mom.

00:49:31.663 --> 00:49:34.663
His dad has two little sisters,
and they had a really wonderful time.

00:49:34.663 --> 00:49:37.663
He really carries an infectious spirit.

00:49:37.663 --> 00:49:38.430
This young man.

00:49:39.563 --> 00:49:42.930
And. And,

00:49:42.930 --> 00:49:46.330
you know, just really excited to have him
with us for the next few years.

00:49:46.330 --> 00:49:48.497
So congratulations to Ryan.

00:49:48.497 --> 00:49:50.663
And then, over here, we have Aiden.

00:49:50.663 --> 00:49:51.863
Aiden participated in

00:49:51.863 --> 00:49:54.863
both the 50 meter assisted race
as well as the tennis ball throw.

00:49:54.897 --> 00:49:57.830
And he received
not one but two bronze medals,

00:49:57.830 --> 00:50:00.430
as you see, adorned around his neck
as well.

00:50:00.430 --> 00:50:03.663
Aiden, similar to Ryan
as a friend to everybody, he made friends.

00:50:03.663 --> 00:50:08.030
And the restaurant that we went out to
with some of our torch and police officers

00:50:08.296 --> 00:50:11.463
and, pretty much anyone he encountered,
he found a friend.

00:50:11.463 --> 00:50:14.730
And so it was really fun to have these two
spirited young men with us this weekend.

00:50:15.730 --> 00:50:19.830
Aiden had, a year last year
that was, tough.

00:50:19.830 --> 00:50:22.630
On him physically and medically.

00:50:22.630 --> 00:50:26.130
And so to see him be able to come back
and, and,

00:50:26.130 --> 00:50:29.996
go to state and earn some bronze medals
was, I think, a really beautiful thing

00:50:29.996 --> 00:50:32.596
for his, lovely parents,
as well as some of his

00:50:32.596 --> 00:50:34.796
teachers, assistants
who came down to watch him.

00:50:34.796 --> 00:50:37.796
And of course, of course,
the coaching staff as well.

00:50:38.130 --> 00:50:41.130
On the way home, Linda Landis,
who is his one on one,

00:50:41.130 --> 00:50:41.996
and I were talking about

00:50:41.996 --> 00:50:45.163
how blessed we are
just to have these athletes in our lives

00:50:45.163 --> 00:50:48.196
and how people like Aiden and Ryan make us

00:50:48.196 --> 00:50:51.396
to see the world in a beautiful way,
and so we appreciate them for that.

00:50:52.963 --> 00:50:55.063
As always, I see it was a wonderful time.

00:50:55.063 --> 00:50:57.430
We explored the campus, stood
all the things.

00:50:57.430 --> 00:50:59.430
Doctor Krauss and Mr.

00:50:59.430 --> 00:51:01.996
Ed Sullivan came down to see.
So thank you to both of them.

00:51:01.996 --> 00:51:04.096
Thank you to Mr. Coach.

00:51:04.096 --> 00:51:04.696
Hey, here.

00:51:04.696 --> 00:51:09.330
Who has been a mainstay and started
working with our Special Olympians

00:51:09.330 --> 00:51:09.696
as well.

00:51:09.696 --> 00:51:13.463
It's, awesome to see the wealth spread
because these are the best guys.

00:51:13.463 --> 00:51:15.430
So congratulations, Raheem.

00:51:15.430 --> 00:51:18.430
Aiden, you guys are the best staff.

00:51:22.563 --> 00:51:24.096
You can

00:51:24.096 --> 00:51:26.296
open your,

00:51:26.296 --> 00:51:27.096
Oh, no.

00:51:27.096 --> 00:51:30.096
Thank you.

00:51:39.096 --> 00:51:39.396
That.

00:51:39.396 --> 00:51:43.063
I would say that
that's our final group of the evening.

00:51:43.063 --> 00:51:45.130
But that's exactly what you saw there.

00:51:45.130 --> 00:51:45.696
We saw it.

00:51:45.696 --> 00:51:48.896
I assume all weekend was the two of them
high fiving and fist bumping

00:51:48.896 --> 00:51:52.263
not only each other, but everybody else,
throughout the experience.

00:51:52.263 --> 00:51:54.030
So congratulations to them both.

00:51:54.030 --> 00:51:56.030
And congratulations to everyone tonight

00:51:56.030 --> 00:51:59.296
again on just incredible accomplishments
and so glad you got to be here.

00:51:59.863 --> 00:52:00.996
So we can honor you in person.

00:52:08.430 --> 00:52:11.396
On behalf of the Board of Education,
like to congratulate all the students.

00:52:11.396 --> 00:52:14.463
I think all the parents and the staff who,
support

00:52:14.463 --> 00:52:17.463
our students to be able to accomplish
everything they've accomplished.

00:52:17.696 --> 00:52:19.396
At this time,
we'll take, like, a ten minute break.

00:52:19.396 --> 00:52:20.763
We have refreshments over here.

00:52:20.763 --> 00:52:23.096
Please do not leave without something.

00:52:23.096 --> 00:52:25.696
Otherwise,
we'll have to eat them as a as a board.

00:52:25.696 --> 00:52:28.463
And if you don't
want to have to do that. So.

00:52:28.463 --> 00:52:30.230
But thank you and congratulations
everybody.

00:52:30.230 --> 00:52:33.596
And for those of you who aren't seniors,
we look forward to seeing you next year

00:52:33.596 --> 00:52:34.796
because I'm sure you'll be back.

00:52:34.796 --> 00:52:38.830
And those of you who are seniors,
good luck to you as your future endeavors,

00:52:38.830 --> 00:52:39.530
and we look

00:52:39.530 --> 00:52:42.530
forward to hearing great things
about what you've been able to accomplish.

00:52:42.530 --> 00:52:43.063
Thank you.

00:52:50.063 --> 00:52:50.863
Okay,

00:52:50.863 --> 00:52:53.863
we'll call the meeting back to order
a roll call, please.

00:52:53.996 --> 00:52:55.796
Cain, here.

00:52:55.796 --> 00:52:58.096
Finnegan, you're out here.

00:52:58.096 --> 00:52:59.130

00:52:59.130 --> 00:53:02.096
Kelvin Olsen here.

00:53:02.096 --> 00:53:05.463
Okay, I will begin with any petitions
and hearings, if there's any.

00:53:05.463 --> 00:53:07.563
This is a threat
to the Board of Education

00:53:07.563 --> 00:53:10.296
and provide a place on the agenda, for

00:53:10.296 --> 00:53:12.463
and welcome
any comments and suggestions from public.

00:53:12.463 --> 00:53:15.463
Do we have any e-cards this evening?

00:53:15.830 --> 00:53:16.396
Good evening.

00:53:16.396 --> 00:53:18.930
At this time
we do not have any comments submitted.

00:53:18.930 --> 00:53:19.896
Thank you.

00:53:19.896 --> 00:53:22.896
Then we'll move along to,

00:53:23.596 --> 00:53:26.596
the public hearing on the amended budget.

00:53:27.396 --> 00:53:30.996
I would, in there, chain a motion
to open the public hearing.

00:53:31.896 --> 00:53:33.430
I move to open the public hearing.

00:53:33.430 --> 00:53:36.430
Second. Okay.

00:53:36.496 --> 00:53:37.296

At this time, I declare that meeting open
for public hearing on the district

00:53:50.930 --> 00:53:53.930

school year

00:53:54.230 --> 00:53:57.796

It is also noted that the amended budget
has been on display for public inspection

00:54:06.496 --> 00:54:09.630

as of Tuesday, May 20th and 25,

00:54:13.130 --> 00:54:16.130

00:54:16.230 --> 00:54:20.430
At this point, I will turn it off to Doug
Berman and, Mr.

00:54:20.530 --> 00:54:24.963
Mackey for any other updates
they want to provide, if any.

00:54:24.996 --> 00:54:27.563
None of them. Okay.

00:54:27.563 --> 00:54:30.696
Then I, I'd open up to the Board
of Education for any comments

00:54:30.996 --> 00:54:32.996
or questions they may have.

00:54:34.430 --> 00:54:35.130
Seeing none.

00:54:35.130 --> 00:54:38.130
Then I'll open up to the public
if there's any comments from the public.

00:54:38.630 --> 00:54:39.663
Nope.

00:54:39.663 --> 00:54:43.196
So at this time,
I want to turn a motion to close

00:54:43.596 --> 00:54:46.496
the public hearing
and move to close the public hearing.

00:54:46.496 --> 00:54:48.396

And the public hearing is now closed.

00:54:59.596 --> 00:55:00.130
Okay.

00:55:00.130 --> 00:55:04.030
Next up, we move on to the,
motion to establish consent agenda.

00:55:04.830 --> 00:55:08.963
All these items are either
items that previously, been discussed

00:55:09.363 --> 00:55:12.430
or, are routine action items.

00:55:13.230 --> 00:55:16.363
I just like to, share with the board
that your station, as well

00:55:16.363 --> 00:55:19.363
as in the board book is an update,
a revised personnel report.

00:55:22.963 --> 00:55:25.530
I moved to establish
the consent agenda so I can.

00:55:26.530 --> 00:55:27.763
Okay.

00:55:27.763 --> 00:55:28.930
Any questions or comments?

I move to approve the consent agenda.

Next, we have the budget status report

00:56:50.063 --> 00:56:52.496
The comparing apples,

00:56:52.496 --> 00:56:54.396

00:57:16.096 --> 00:57:17.563

For state

00:57:36.796 --> 00:57:40.596
aid collections are currently trending,
down 4.77% from the prior year,

00:57:40.896 --> 00:57:45.396
with $6.77 million received,
or roughly 90%.

00:57:45.863 --> 00:57:48.996
And we have seen all the planned
federal money,

00:57:49.263 --> 00:57:52.163
come through to us

00:57:52.163 --> 00:57:54.563
for the Ed Fund expenses.

00:57:54.563 --> 00:57:57.563
They are trending down
compared to last year, 0.93%.

00:57:57.863 --> 00:58:00.063
Salaries are down 1.4%.

00:58:00.063 --> 00:58:02.496
Benefits are up 1.1%.

00:58:02.496 --> 00:58:05.296
Contractual services down 3.4.

00:58:05.296 --> 00:58:08.763
Supplies are up 16.6, which has been
the constant trend for the year.

00:58:09.263 --> 00:58:11.863
Capital outlay is down 6.2%

00:58:11.863 --> 00:58:14.863
and tuition expense is down 2.9%.

00:58:16.096 --> 00:58:17.363
For the O&M fund

00:58:17.363 --> 00:58:22.529
revenues of or at 60.61% collected
or approximately 4.9%,

00:58:22.896 --> 00:58:25.896
slightly down 3.3% year over year.

00:58:26.196 --> 00:58:29.196
Investment income is at 99.5% of budget.

00:58:29.429 --> 00:58:32.696
The only state revenue expected in
this fund is at $50,000

00:58:33.029 --> 00:58:35.796
for maintenance grant,
which we have received.

00:58:35.796 --> 00:58:38.263
And there is no federal revenue
expected in the open, fund

00:58:39.396 --> 00:58:39.996
in regards to

00:58:39.996 --> 00:58:43.563
expenses, activities
currently at 92.4% expended,

00:58:43.929 --> 00:58:47.196
up approximately 12.9% versus
the prior year.

00:58:47.696 --> 00:58:50.196
Salaries are down 1.25%

00:58:50.196 --> 00:58:53.063
and benefits are down 6.48%.

00:58:53.063 --> 00:58:57.063
The main drivers have been the utilities
and purchase service expense,

00:58:57.096 --> 00:59:01.263
which is up 23% year over
year, and supplies, which is up 20.9.

00:59:01.863 --> 00:59:04.929
As we talked about, mostly due to
unexpected repairs that we've discussed.

00:59:05.396 --> 00:59:07.296
And then the utilities
are trending a roughly

00:59:07.296 --> 00:59:10.296
about 18.8% higher compared to last year.

00:59:11.429 --> 00:59:14.796
Capital expenses are at 96.9% expended.

00:59:15.229 --> 00:59:18.396
Those projects included the female locker
replacement, referee coatings,

00:59:18.396 --> 00:59:21.396
boiler refurbishment and the ten year
health, safety and long range plan.

00:59:21.496 --> 00:59:24.796
With just a little bit left to pay out
on that long range facility plan

00:59:25.896 --> 00:59:30.396
for the transportation fund, revenue
of approximately $4.56 million,

00:59:30.696 --> 00:59:33.596
or 61.8% of budget, down

00:59:33.596 --> 00:59:36.596
17.6% compared to this time last year.

00:59:36.663 --> 00:59:39.663
Most of that is due to a timing
with the state.

00:59:40.096 --> 00:59:43.129
While other look revenues, investment

00:59:43.129 --> 00:59:48.129
income of 334,258
is currently at 223% of budget.

00:59:48.663 --> 00:59:51.796
As we can try to continue
to build this fund balance back up.

00:59:52.563 --> 00:59:55.563
As previously mentioned, state aid,
no real changes

00:59:55.896 --> 00:59:58.896
we had budgeted to receive
for categorical payments.

00:59:59.329 --> 01:00:02.329
And as of May, we only received third.

01:00:02.763 --> 01:00:06.363
But I did check with this morning to see,
where the state was at

01:00:06.363 --> 01:00:07.563
in releasing the payment.

01:00:07.563 --> 01:00:10.296
And they did release the final fourth
categorical payment

01:00:10.296 --> 01:00:12.263
on June 17th to last week.

01:00:12.263 --> 01:00:14.429
So we should have
that booked in this fiscal year.

01:00:15.796 --> 01:00:18.796
And again, no federal revenue
in the transportation fund.

01:00:19.196 --> 01:00:22.763
In regards to expenses,
approximately $5.32 million

01:00:23.063 --> 01:00:26.063
trending slightly, up
0.79% over the prior year.

01:00:27.296 --> 01:00:31.696
And then finally, I am our pension
fund revenue of just over $1.4

01:00:31.696 --> 01:00:34.696
million, or 63.7% of budget,

01:00:34.796 --> 01:00:37.763
up 6.47% year over year.

01:00:37.763 --> 01:00:42.229
And then expenses 1.9 million,
or 85.9% of budget,

01:00:42.596 --> 01:00:45.429
slightly up 2.37% year over year.

01:00:45.429 --> 01:00:46.196
So overall,

01:00:46.196 --> 01:00:50.529
everything is kind of tracking similar
throughout the year as it is right now.

01:00:50.896 --> 01:00:54.696
We look to close up here next Monday
and we'll bring the board

01:00:54.696 --> 01:00:57.696
a final report in August.

01:00:59.963 --> 01:01:00.396
I move that

01:01:00.396 --> 01:01:04.163
the Board of Education approve the budget
status report as presented. So,

01:01:05.463 --> 01:01:08.029
copies where?

01:01:08.029 --> 01:01:09.029
Yes, again?

01:01:09.029 --> 01:01:09.829
Yes. So.

01:01:09.829 --> 01:01:10.729
Yes. Taylor.

01:01:10.729 --> 01:01:13.729
Yes. Shelby. Olson. Yes.

01:01:14.229 --> 01:01:16.429
Yes. Motion is approved.

01:01:16.429 --> 01:01:19.796
Next, we have item
C, adoption of the amended budget

01:01:19.796 --> 01:01:22.796
for fiscal year 2024 2025.

01:01:22.896 --> 01:01:26.096
At the May 19th board meeting,
the amended budget for

01:01:26.096 --> 01:01:29.362
2425 was discussed and authorized
to present for public review.

01:01:29.896 --> 01:01:32.462
The public notice was published
on May 20th

01:01:32.462 --> 01:01:34.729
in accordance with the 30 day requirement.

01:01:34.729 --> 01:01:37.262
To date, there have been no inquiries
regarding the proposed method.

01:01:37.262 --> 01:01:38.262
Budget.

01:01:38.262 --> 01:01:40.729
We are recommending adoption
of the amended budget

01:01:40.729 --> 01:01:43.962
for fiscal year 2425
by approving the attached resolution.

01:01:44.496 --> 01:01:47.062
The recommendation to amend
the budget is being made again

01:01:47.062 --> 01:01:48.729
to reflect the corrected transfer

01:01:48.729 --> 01:01:52.729
from the Working Cash Funds
to the Capital Projects Fund for the 2526

01:01:53.096 --> 01:01:57.296
sorry projects as we pre fund the next
fiscal year facility projects.

01:01:57.962 --> 01:02:01.562
Due to accrual accounting requirements
that we are required to follow.

01:02:02.129 --> 01:02:06.396
The contracts are to cover
the difference.

01:02:06.396 --> 01:02:09.729
So we had originally a budgeted
$2 million to transfer.

01:02:10.162 --> 01:02:12.862
And as we went through and bid
the projects and awarded some other ones,

01:02:12.862 --> 01:02:16.229
the projects came in at 2,360,641.

01:02:16.562 --> 01:02:21.362
So this amendment is for to add
in an additional $360,641.

01:02:22.496 --> 01:02:23.096
Also,

01:02:23.096 --> 01:02:27.296
the amendment is also made to reflect
the teachers on behalf contributions

01:02:27.662 --> 01:02:30.529
in the amount of $21,050,000.

01:02:30.529 --> 01:02:32.862
This is an annual amendment
that is required to meet the state board

01:02:32.862 --> 01:02:34.229
requirements for an accurate budget.

01:02:34.229 --> 01:02:36.762
That reflects this on behalf contribution.

01:02:36.762 --> 01:02:39.629
This contribution represents
the state's share

01:02:39.629 --> 01:02:42.629
of the annual contribution to the teachers
pension fund for our district.

01:02:42.896 --> 01:02:45.662
There is a corresponding revenue
and expense added to our budget.

01:02:45.662 --> 01:02:47.496
So the net impact is $0.

01:02:47.496 --> 01:02:49.129
But it's still required in accordance

01:02:49.129 --> 01:02:52.129
with the accrue accounting
standards of Gasb 68.

01:02:55.896 --> 01:02:59.129
It means that the Board of Education
adopt the resolution to adopt

01:02:59.162 --> 01:03:02.962
amended annual budget for 2024 2025. So

01:03:04.329 --> 01:03:06.162
okay any questions?

01:03:06.162 --> 01:03:07.962
Seeing none. Roll call please. And again.

01:03:07.962 --> 01:03:10.762
Yes. Yes. Taylor. Yes. Calvin.

01:03:10.762 --> 01:03:12.396
Yes. Olson. Yes.

01:03:12.396 --> 01:03:14.162
Yes. In. Yes.

01:03:14.162 --> 01:03:15.729
Motion is approved.

01:03:15.729 --> 01:03:18.196
Next.

01:03:19.362 --> 01:03:22.229
Item D authorization

01:03:22.229 --> 01:03:26.596
for the placement of the tenant budget
for 2025 2026 for public display.

01:03:27.929 --> 01:03:30.929
All right, Charlie, can I take over?

01:03:33.662 --> 01:03:35.096
Sounds dangerous.

01:03:35.096 --> 01:03:37.629
No, I was my backup

01:03:37.629 --> 01:03:41.129
in case I get kicked off again. So.

01:03:46.296 --> 01:03:47.396
All right.

01:03:47.396 --> 01:03:49.629
Tentative budget, 2526.

01:03:49.629 --> 01:03:52.662
So it's that time of the year
where we start putting together,

01:03:52.662 --> 01:03:55.662
kind of a staged, budget.

01:03:56.929 --> 01:03:58.762
So we follow a move,

01:03:58.762 --> 01:04:01.762
see if I can make this full screen.

01:04:02.096 --> 01:04:02.729
There we go.

01:04:02.729 --> 01:04:06.762
We follow, a similar timeline,
where we present

01:04:06.796 --> 01:04:09.796
the tentative budget to the board
and June 2nd meeting in June.

01:04:10.829 --> 01:04:13.896
To get authorization
for placing that budget for public review.

01:04:14.496 --> 01:04:17.196
We have to post a public notice,

01:04:17.196 --> 01:04:20.196
in the paper so that notice
is going to be scheduled for July 9th.

01:04:20.429 --> 01:04:24.062
Basically, letting the public
know of the public hearing

01:04:24.062 --> 01:04:26.396
and when the adoption
is going to take place.

01:04:26.396 --> 01:04:30.496
Hearing and adoption
meeting is September 22nd, 2025,

01:04:30.896 --> 01:04:33.762
where we will review the final budget,
including any changes

01:04:33.762 --> 01:04:37.329
from this tentative budget,
and then conduct the public hearing

01:04:38.396 --> 01:04:41.396
prior to the board adopting.

01:04:41.662 --> 01:04:43.029
Some quick highlights.

01:04:43.029 --> 01:04:48.396
So this budget includes salary benefit
adjustments, with a weighted formula

01:04:48.462 --> 01:04:52.162
we will go through right now as we've been
finalized, the hiring and staffing.

01:04:52.662 --> 01:04:55.262
And then we will budget by FTE.

01:04:55.262 --> 01:05:00.196
So we go person by person, to get the
the final number of what everyone's salary

01:05:00.196 --> 01:05:03.896
will be to get kind of the largest portion
of the budget completed.

01:05:04.896 --> 01:05:07.162
We also reduced the corporate
personal property

01:05:07.162 --> 01:05:10.162
replacement tax CPB by about 28%.

01:05:10.562 --> 01:05:13.562
That calculation
will has not been determined yet.

01:05:13.629 --> 01:05:14.696
It comes out in August.

01:05:14.696 --> 01:05:16.262
Right now
we're taking a conservative approach

01:05:16.262 --> 01:05:19.262
because the last two years it's
been cut about a third.

01:05:19.796 --> 01:05:22.196
We removed the carryover Esser revenue.

01:05:22.196 --> 01:05:26.662
We had so about $222,000
that we had this fiscal year's budget.

01:05:27.329 --> 01:05:30.296
Was removed,
as we have claimed, all those dollars.

01:05:30.296 --> 01:05:34.162
And we'll have no more carryover
or any of that extra federal revenue.

01:05:34.362 --> 01:05:39.262
With Esser, we increased
the vocational tuition through TCD.

01:05:39.262 --> 01:05:43.329
And then we are still continuing
our tuck point in concrete

01:05:43.329 --> 01:05:44.796
and parking lot maintenance plans.

01:05:46.829 --> 01:05:48.062
So for the operating

01:05:48.062 --> 01:05:51.096
funds, we have revenue of $88.4 million,

01:05:51.096 --> 01:05:54.996
which is about an increase of $2.6
million, or a little over 3%,

01:05:55.529 --> 01:05:58.596
property tax revenue,
which is about 79% of revenue,

01:05:58.896 --> 01:06:01.896
is about $3.8 million, or an increase.

01:06:02.429 --> 01:06:05.596
This represents two tax levies
December 24th and 25.

01:06:05.996 --> 01:06:09.862
You have September 2025 collection,
which is about 50.2%

01:06:09.862 --> 01:06:12.862
of actual extension, which was a 3.84%.

01:06:12.862 --> 01:06:15.862
And then June 2026, the 49.3.

01:06:16.096 --> 01:06:19.229
Always maintaining our 99.5 property

01:06:19.229 --> 01:06:22.229
tax collection rate,
which has been our historical trend.

01:06:22.862 --> 01:06:25.862
The property
tax section for 2025 was final at 3.84,

01:06:26.029 --> 01:06:29.196
and that's when we collected June 2025
and September 2025.

01:06:31.862 --> 01:06:32.962
The upcoming property

01:06:32.962 --> 01:06:37.296
tax levy in December,
is estimating at approximately

01:06:37.296 --> 01:06:41.629
$2.28 million of an increase,
or roughly 3.31%,

01:06:42.029 --> 01:06:46.395
and that is based on the 2.9 CPI,
which is what CPI came in last year.

01:06:46.895 --> 01:06:50.062
And then, that extra 4.1

01:06:50.062 --> 01:06:53.795
or 0.41 is the additional increase

01:06:53.795 --> 01:06:56.962
for the estimate of new property,
which is around $15 million.

01:06:57.429 --> 01:07:01.295
Once we get closer to levy
season will be with the assessor's again,

01:07:01.595 --> 01:07:05.395
fine tuned that number to see where
that number is going to finally come in.

01:07:05.395 --> 01:07:08.862
And, but right now
we're hedging our beds around 15 million.

01:07:09.995 --> 01:07:13.295
Evidence
based funding we held at a level.

01:07:13.729 --> 01:07:16.029
The governor just passed his budget.

01:07:16.029 --> 01:07:17.662
Within the last two weeks.

01:07:17.662 --> 01:07:21.795
So we have not yet seen the calculation
for the Eb5 formula yet.

01:07:22.262 --> 01:07:24.629
So right now
we're reclaiming it as a hold.

01:07:24.629 --> 01:07:25.062
Harmless.

01:07:25.062 --> 01:07:27.995
So everything we got this
year, we'll get for next year.

01:07:27.995 --> 01:07:31.129
We just don't know if we're going
to get any other additional allocation.

01:07:31.495 --> 01:07:34.962
Based on our tier two allocation.

01:07:35.962 --> 01:07:39.095
So other than that, other state aid,
conservatively

01:07:39.095 --> 01:07:42.462
using the prorated amounts
for 2025 budget.

01:07:43.062 --> 01:07:45.362
And the same for categorical payments.

01:07:45.362 --> 01:07:48.395
However, we are reducing
the transportation category receipts.

01:07:48.862 --> 01:07:52.562
Due to how things were,
you know, came to light

01:07:52.562 --> 01:07:55.829
this year where they prorated
it down quite severely.

01:07:59.195 --> 01:07:59.895
Federal revenue.

01:07:59.895 --> 01:08:00.795
So the

01:08:00.795 --> 01:08:04.262
federal title and other grant funding
is budgeted to remain level at this time.

01:08:04.795 --> 01:08:08.495
However, there are reports about certain
title grants.

01:08:08.662 --> 01:08:10.429
Specifically two and three.

01:08:10.429 --> 01:08:13.229
Not being funded that we are monitoring

01:08:13.229 --> 01:08:16.395
and may need to make some adjustments
throughout the summer.

01:08:16.395 --> 01:08:19.595
So, we are hearing title two and title

01:08:19.595 --> 01:08:22.595
three haven't gotten allocation
at this point.

01:08:22.895 --> 01:08:26.495
We're still going to apply
for those grants in the hopes that they do

01:08:26.495 --> 01:08:27.495
get funded.

01:08:27.495 --> 01:08:30.929
And then we are also monitoring
our carryover allotment,

01:08:30.929 --> 01:08:35.229
as there are rumors right now that,
there will be no carryover.

01:08:35.229 --> 01:08:38.662
So we're keeping a close eye
on the federal funds

01:08:38.662 --> 01:08:41.662
at this point in time.

01:08:42.662 --> 01:08:45.129
Again, I just put the numbers in there,
to kind of show

01:08:45.129 --> 01:08:48.729
the past two years and then what
I'm estimating for this year.

01:08:49.029 --> 01:08:52.862
I'm hoping that it comes
in, you know, with no reduction.

01:08:52.862 --> 01:08:55.829
But I want to be it
at least a third right now.

01:08:55.829 --> 01:08:58.462
But the final number
is being released in August.

01:08:58.462 --> 01:08:59.629
So once we get those numbers,

01:08:59.629 --> 01:09:02.762
they will be incorporated
into the final budget in September.

01:09:03.795 --> 01:09:04.895
Interest income.

01:09:04.895 --> 01:09:07.795
I budgeted around $2.24 million.

01:09:07.795 --> 01:09:11.395
Conservative
estimate, down from FY 25 actual year

01:09:11.395 --> 01:09:15.395
to date dollars,
but up from where we budgeted FY 25.

01:09:15.795 --> 01:09:19.162
So depending on future
investment elections

01:09:19.162 --> 01:09:22.962
that we'll be looking at here
as the tax levy money starts rolling in.

01:09:23.029 --> 01:09:25.662
We have seen start to roll in.

01:09:25.662 --> 01:09:28.529
We'll see if we can lock in some
some good interest rates

01:09:28.529 --> 01:09:31.529
for some long term revenue.

01:09:31.695 --> 01:09:33.262
Other local revenue remained at normal

01:09:33.262 --> 01:09:36.262
trend levels,
so we kept them relatively flat.

01:09:38.595 --> 01:09:39.429
For the operating funds

01:09:39.429 --> 01:09:42.829
expense expenditures, $92.1 million,

01:09:43.329 --> 01:09:47.195
which is an increase of about $2.7
million, or a little over 3%.

01:09:47.662 --> 01:09:50.795
Student enrollment
as Italy is slightly down

01:09:51.062 --> 01:09:55.895
at 3827
or 57 less students than the prior year.

01:09:56.495 --> 01:10:00.095
Staffing level at 291.6
certified or teaching

01:10:00.095 --> 01:10:04.029
FTE positions, which is a reduction
of 4.8 from the prior year.

01:10:06.829 --> 01:10:08.562
Salaries in total right now

01:10:08.562 --> 01:10:12.229
projected increased 3.3%
or just under $1.8 million.

01:10:12.895 --> 01:10:16.295
We do have 48 staff members
that are on the retirement track

01:10:16.295 --> 01:10:20.229
and to be retired by, fiscal year 2031.

01:10:20.795 --> 01:10:23.429
There's a couple large years in there.

01:10:23.429 --> 01:10:26.429
In 2029,
you have 14 staff members going out.

01:10:26.562 --> 01:10:31.295
And then 31, 27 and 28,
all roughly around 8 or 9 staff members

01:10:32.095 --> 01:10:34.529
for the, non-certified staff

01:10:34.529 --> 01:10:38.395
you have for, employees going out
at the end of this year or upcoming year.

01:10:38.829 --> 01:10:43.295
And then you have, two going out in 27
and three going out in 28.

01:10:43.895 --> 01:10:47.195
All of this is pending final staffing
and purpose and budgeting in August.

01:10:49.262 --> 01:10:50.562
For benefits.

01:10:50.562 --> 01:10:54.429
Projected increase
just under $700,000, or 6.22%.

01:10:54.929 --> 01:10:58.895
As a reminder, the medical rates for PPO
are increasing 6.9%

01:10:59.295 --> 01:11:01.995
and 5.2% for the HMO.

01:11:01.995 --> 01:11:06.562
Dental rates for the PPO are going up
7.1 and remaining flat for the HMO.

01:11:07.529 --> 01:11:08.295
They're just in and out.

01:11:08.295 --> 01:11:09.395
Migration of retirees

01:11:09.395 --> 01:11:12.562
and replacement staff over the summer,
which will determine a more accurate

01:11:12.562 --> 01:11:15.562
benefit enrollment budget
for this upcoming year.

01:11:17.429 --> 01:11:18.862
Contractual services are projected

01:11:18.862 --> 01:11:22.695
to increase 4.4%, or just over $550,000.

01:11:23.129 --> 01:11:25.762
The transportation service
contract has a rate increase

01:11:25.762 --> 01:11:28.895
of 6.75, or roughly $376,000.

01:11:29.629 --> 01:11:32.329
The homeless transportation budget
we increased last year

01:11:32.329 --> 01:11:36.029
is now going to be flat at this year
at 325,000.

01:11:37.195 --> 01:11:40.195
Food service contract rate
increased to 3.6%.

01:11:40.595 --> 01:11:43.562
Workman's comp declined 24%,

01:11:43.562 --> 01:11:46.562
going down by about 46,850 bucks.

01:11:47.762 --> 01:11:51.929
And then our property casualty liability
insurance stayed relatively flat.

01:11:51.929 --> 01:11:55.095
Just increasing a little less
than $6,000.

01:11:55.862 --> 01:12:00.462
Again, as mentioned, we have $100,000 for
asphalt, brick and concrete maintenance.

01:12:00.995 --> 01:12:05.262
And then, in the contract
is the contract with the under base?

01:12:09.462 --> 01:12:10.395
Supply budget increased

01:12:10.395 --> 01:12:14.062
$138,440, roughly 3.26%.

01:12:14.562 --> 01:12:17.262
Primarily
due to new copier printer agreements.

01:12:17.262 --> 01:12:19.728
And then the utility cost increases.

01:12:19.728 --> 01:12:21.228
We are for utility.

01:12:21.228 --> 01:12:23.095
We still are with Illinois
Century Network.

01:12:23.095 --> 01:12:25.162
So our current cost is zero.

01:12:25.162 --> 01:12:27.662
We do have a new refuse contractor.

01:12:27.662 --> 01:12:30.495
District
45 went out and got a new contractor.

01:12:30.495 --> 01:12:33.495
So we are now with SBC Waste Solutions.

01:12:33.662 --> 01:12:36.628
And then we are being told by our energy
consultant, Scott Pollock,

01:12:36.628 --> 01:12:39.862
that we should expect to see
a large increase in electricity pricing.

01:12:40.495 --> 01:12:43.728
As a reminder,
we did start up that energy shed program.

01:12:43.728 --> 01:12:44.428
So we are hoping that

01:12:44.428 --> 01:12:47.428
some of that rebate money will help offset
some of these costs.

01:12:47.562 --> 01:12:51.262
We just had our first test,
last week with that company.

01:12:54.928 --> 01:12:57.295
We do have a big
decrease coming out of the capital outlay.

01:12:57.295 --> 01:13:01.895
Roughly 29% or $118,903.

01:13:02.362 --> 01:13:07.828
That's because the basically the total
amount of projects we're doing right here

01:13:08.195 --> 01:13:11.528
equals the culinary arts project
that we just are wrapping up.

01:13:12.162 --> 01:13:16.828
So the company switch at Addison
Trail, $70,452.

01:13:17.262 --> 01:13:20.162
Happy to say is just about wrapped up.

01:13:20.162 --> 01:13:22.662
The hot water tank replacements
round in the corner right now.

01:13:22.662 --> 01:13:24.328
The tanks are now in,

01:13:24.328 --> 01:13:28.562
well, in the contractors hands,
so about three weeks ahead of schedule.

01:13:28.895 --> 01:13:31.695
That project cost 325,000.

01:13:31.695 --> 01:13:34.495
The practice turf field
should be done tomorrow at the tune

01:13:34.495 --> 01:13:37.495
of just or just under $181,000.

01:13:37.828 --> 01:13:41.795
And then the auditorium, catwalk
and lighting, 923,500.

01:13:42.162 --> 01:13:46.362
And the DLP light skills renovation
at 251,000 are all on track right now.

01:13:47.495 --> 01:13:49.262
With their current schedules,

01:13:49.262 --> 01:13:53.328
we did have a reduction of $125,000
for bus cameras, as we were able to outfit

01:13:53.328 --> 01:13:57.695
the entire fleet with cameras this fiscal
year with the money that we have,

01:13:57.695 --> 01:14:03.095
and we have been informed by, Midwest Bus
that we'll need to wait for summer 2026,

01:14:03.595 --> 01:14:07.362
for to start our bus replacement program.

01:14:08.228 --> 01:14:10.228
The busses that they had were only new.

01:14:10.228 --> 01:14:11.128
They were too expensive.

01:14:11.128 --> 01:14:16.428
So we got in line, to start
getting busses on a one year lease deal.

01:14:16.895 --> 01:14:19.962
That's where we see the best value
in terms of buying our busses.

01:14:20.728 --> 01:14:24.062
And then we are currently waiting on a
quote for a new tractor at Willowbrook.

01:14:24.395 --> 01:14:27.528
That is currently not represented
in the tentative budget.

01:14:27.662 --> 01:14:30.662
I'm trying to push Mister Maker
on whether or not

01:14:31.028 --> 01:14:35.195
this needs to happen this summer,
or if we can wait and do it next.

01:14:36.695 --> 01:14:38.428
And then lastly, for tuition and special

01:14:38.428 --> 01:14:41.895
ed vocational alternative programs
increased by 283,000.

01:14:42.328 --> 01:14:45.328
7 or $8, or roughly just under 6%.

01:14:45.862 --> 01:14:48.428
Primarily driven by, DCD enrollment.

01:14:48.428 --> 01:14:54.128
Additional 30 students or $160,000,
for an estimated total of 212 students

01:14:54.128 --> 01:14:57.128
attending the program,
or a little over $1.1 million.

01:14:59.428 --> 01:15:01.795
So revenue minus expenses, you're

01:15:01.795 --> 01:15:05.195
looking at just under $3.7
million of operating deficit.

01:15:05.762 --> 01:15:09.595
Our operating fund balance
is estimated to be about $61.5 million.

01:15:10.195 --> 01:15:13.762
This does not include the estimated
$4 million of working cash bond proceeds

01:15:14.128 --> 01:15:17.362
assigned for capital improvements
through summer 2028.

01:15:17.928 --> 01:15:21.195
So fund balance, net of early June,
property taxes and working cash

01:15:21.195 --> 01:15:27.062
bond proceeds $30.3 million,
or roughly 32.9% of operating expenses.

01:15:27.062 --> 01:15:30.795
So staying above our 30%
threshold that we have for our policy.

01:15:32.395 --> 01:15:34.562
This is a terrible graph
that you probably can't see very well.

01:15:34.562 --> 01:15:38.428
So if I zoom in,
here's where you're going to see

01:15:38.428 --> 01:15:42.028
our budgeted revenues
$88.4 million in budgeted revenues.

01:15:42.995 --> 01:15:45.995
If I slightly go to the right
without changing anything.

01:15:46.328 --> 01:15:50.428
Expenses at 92.1, giving you that $3.6

01:15:50.428 --> 01:15:53.428
million deficit.

01:15:59.328 --> 01:16:00.628
There we go.

01:16:00.628 --> 01:16:02.595
Different way of looking at the graph.

01:16:02.595 --> 01:16:05.495
Here is the operating revenue budget.

01:16:05.495 --> 01:16:08.962
So what you're going to see
is about 79% of our operating

01:16:08.962 --> 01:16:13.628
revenue comes from property taxes,
which is about $69.7 million,

01:16:14.328 --> 01:16:17.328
out of the $88.4 million budget.

01:16:19.528 --> 01:16:21.062
Here is a little,

01:16:21.062 --> 01:16:25.295
year over year comparison
in terms of property taxes.

01:16:25.295 --> 01:16:28.562
So you can see this year
we're looking at 69.7.

01:16:29.062 --> 01:16:31.495
And last year it was at 65.8.

01:16:31.495 --> 01:16:35.962
So at $3.8 million increase, for property
taxes.

01:16:36.528 --> 01:16:39.862
Overall total operating funds 88.4.

01:16:40.828 --> 01:16:43.228
And then last year was 85.8.

01:16:43.228 --> 01:16:47.128
So just under $2.6 million of an increase

01:16:47.495 --> 01:16:50.495
or roughly 3%.

01:16:56.295 --> 01:16:59.295
I swear I'm getting something.

01:17:02.228 --> 01:17:03.695
Here we go.

01:17:03.695 --> 01:17:07.028
So for the education fund budget program,

01:17:07.028 --> 01:17:10.628
you have instructional
and instructional support.

01:17:11.128 --> 01:17:13.795
76.2% of your Ed fund

01:17:13.795 --> 01:17:17.162
budget is going to support
educational programs.

01:17:17.728 --> 01:17:22.595
Basically,
it means $0.76 of every dollars

01:17:22.962 --> 01:17:25.962
going to instruction.

01:17:28.628 --> 01:17:29.595
And really tough to see

01:17:29.595 --> 01:17:32.595
on a big screen. But.

01:17:34.028 --> 01:17:37.262
This basically shows you
where salaries and benefits

01:17:37.328 --> 01:17:40.928
benefits
are the main drivers in your expenses.

01:17:41.262 --> 01:17:44.495
For a combined 74%, salaries are at

01:17:44.495 --> 01:17:47.495
61%, benefits are at 13%,

01:17:47.595 --> 01:17:51.695
purchase services, 14 supplies, five.

01:17:51.695 --> 01:17:55.461
Capital and tuition
two and five, respectively.

01:17:55.595 --> 01:17:58.595
So overall.

01:17:59.628 --> 01:18:01.295
Different way to look at it.

01:18:01.295 --> 01:18:03.595
Big piece of that pie is salaries.

01:18:03.595 --> 01:18:06.295
And the other
big piece over here is your benefits.

01:18:06.295 --> 01:18:08.761
So 74%

01:18:09.995 --> 01:18:12.661
are coming out of that.

01:18:12.661 --> 01:18:16.128
And just another way to look at it again,
if you're more of a table person

01:18:16.561 --> 01:18:19.628
you can see year over year,
where the increases are

01:18:20.195 --> 01:18:23.695
the big one and this year is in benefits.

01:18:24.661 --> 01:18:28.895
And that's because we got some higher
premium increases this year.

01:18:29.528 --> 01:18:31.161
Salaries were at 3.31.

01:18:31.161 --> 01:18:32.628
But as mentioned again,

01:18:32.628 --> 01:18:35.261
you know, we'll go through the summer
after the hiring is complete

01:18:35.261 --> 01:18:39.561
and then budget by person
to get the final change,

01:18:40.195 --> 01:18:43.195
that we'll bring back in September.

01:18:44.595 --> 01:18:47.595
Okay.

01:18:54.095 --> 01:18:55.028
I have a question.

01:18:55.028 --> 01:18:55.261
Yeah.

01:18:55.261 --> 01:18:58.895
You mentioned title two and title
three grants.

01:18:58.895 --> 01:19:00.428
Sorry. Yep.

01:19:00.428 --> 01:19:01.461
Can you tell me what that is?

01:19:01.461 --> 01:19:02.495
Title two and title three.

01:19:02.495 --> 01:19:05.361
So title three is your bilingual grants.

01:19:05.361 --> 01:19:08.361
They go to help support
some of our running programs.

01:19:08.695 --> 01:19:12.095
And title two is more or less,
professional development for teachers.

01:19:12.895 --> 01:19:15.995
If I might have a little more information
as she kind of oversees that.

01:19:16.828 --> 01:19:17.495
He's right.

01:19:17.495 --> 01:19:20.428
Title two is really professional
development entitled

01:19:20.428 --> 01:19:22.595
is to support our English. English
learners.

01:19:22.595 --> 01:19:24.028
Okay. Thank you. Yeah,

01:19:25.595 --> 01:19:27.461
I had a take off question from that.

01:19:27.461 --> 01:19:28.161
I wrote it down.

01:19:28.161 --> 01:19:31.228
So do you know what the dollar impact of
that is roughly.

01:19:31.461 --> 01:19:35.428
We calculated it today,
and my calculations were based off

01:19:35.428 --> 01:19:37.861
of the non carryover.

01:19:37.861 --> 01:19:43.228
And it also included a little bit
of estimates of where the title funding.

01:19:43.861 --> 01:19:47.061
That we have seen looks to be decreasing.

01:19:47.195 --> 01:19:49.828
So we've put together a nice spreadsheet
this morning.

01:19:49.828 --> 01:19:53.895
I believe title funding for title
one is down roughly 15%.

01:19:54.528 --> 01:19:57.761
And then title two,
I think she zeroed out.

01:19:58.695 --> 01:19:59.561
She's going to pull it up.

01:19:59.561 --> 01:20:01.461
So that way I'm not in my head.

01:20:01.461 --> 01:20:05.928
It's like 220, 240.

01:20:06.095 --> 01:20:07.561
It's under 250.

01:20:07.561 --> 01:20:09.195
It's right around that, though.

01:20:09.195 --> 01:20:12.195
It's 62, 68.

01:20:13.395 --> 01:20:16.295
So most of our federal funding
is entitled one.

01:20:16.295 --> 01:20:16.561
Yeah.

01:20:17.795 --> 01:20:20.061
That's where the lion's share comes from.

01:20:20.061 --> 01:20:20.895
Thank you.

01:20:20.895 --> 01:20:22.961
In a well yeah.

01:20:22.961 --> 01:20:24.261
For for title.

01:20:24.261 --> 01:20:25.628
Yeah. Title one.

01:20:25.628 --> 01:20:28.628
Yeah.

01:20:33.261 --> 01:20:34.128
Okay.

01:20:34.128 --> 01:20:37.128
I move that the Board of Education
authorize the administration

01:20:37.228 --> 01:20:42.261
to publish the tentative budget
for fiscal year 20 2526 for public review.

01:20:42.928 --> 01:20:44.195
Second.

01:20:44.195 --> 01:20:44.728
Okay.

01:20:44.728 --> 01:20:47.728
Any other questions? Okay.

01:20:48.295 --> 01:20:51.361
So I just noticed it
on the very last page of this, the packet

01:20:51.361 --> 01:20:55.061
we had, it's blank for the fire prevention
and safety fund. Yep.

01:20:55.961 --> 01:20:58.028
We don't levy in that fund.

01:20:58.028 --> 01:21:00.095
So why is it included here?

01:21:00.095 --> 01:21:02.628
I guess I'm just it's confused.

01:21:02.628 --> 01:21:04.695
It's part of, education fund.

01:21:04.695 --> 01:21:07.761
And so it's just to represent

01:21:07.761 --> 01:21:11.461
that there is the fire life present,
but we don't want it,

01:21:11.595 --> 01:21:14.595
but we don't levy in it,
and we don't operate out of it.

01:21:14.895 --> 01:21:15.828
So it's just like a placeholder.

01:21:15.828 --> 01:21:18.195
It's just a placeholder because I
had never heard of it and then was blank.

01:21:18.195 --> 01:21:19.361
I'm not sure. Yeah.

01:21:19.361 --> 01:21:22.195
Just before you pass it
and it's not supposed to be. Okay. Yep.

01:21:22.195 --> 01:21:23.061
All right. Zero.

01:21:25.161 --> 01:21:25.728
Okay.

01:21:25.728 --> 01:21:27.595
Any other questions?

01:21:27.595 --> 01:21:28.761
In a roll call, please.

01:21:28.761 --> 01:21:29.761
Oh, yes.

01:21:29.761 --> 01:21:32.761
Taylor. Yes. Calvin. Yes. Olson. Yes.

01:21:33.161 --> 01:21:35.261
Yes. You. Yes.

01:21:35.261 --> 01:21:37.461
Yes. Motion's approved.

01:21:37.461 --> 01:21:40.461
Let's move on to,

01:21:42.128 --> 01:21:45.028
item E, the resolution

01:21:45.028 --> 01:21:49.661
providing for the issue of lack to exceed
6.5 million.

01:21:49.661 --> 01:21:53.061
General obligation
limited to school busses.

01:21:54.661 --> 01:21:57.528
So the administration is presenting
the attached bond resolution.

01:21:57.528 --> 01:21:58.995
It's quite lengthy.

01:21:58.995 --> 01:22:02.261
To be signed as the next steps
towards the $4 million work

01:22:02.261 --> 01:22:04.195
working cash fund bond issuance.

01:22:04.195 --> 01:22:06.695
You'll notice
the resolution is for $6.5 million

01:22:06.695 --> 01:22:09.728
and not the $4 million,
as there is some extra money included

01:22:10.095 --> 01:22:13.861
to refund, to buy maturities
that carry a 4% interest rate.

01:22:14.195 --> 01:22:17.028
In the case the market gets to a level
where it will allow us

01:22:17.028 --> 01:22:20.395
to refund those bonds, for savings.

01:22:20.395 --> 01:22:23.961
So if the market gets favorable again,
that extra $2.5

01:22:23.961 --> 01:22:26.961
million could help refund
those bonds at a lower interest rate.

01:22:28.595 --> 01:22:30.095
Do I see it happening?

01:22:30.095 --> 01:22:30.761
Probably not.

01:22:30.761 --> 01:22:34.028
But, it's just there as a as a safeguard.

01:22:34.028 --> 01:22:37.028
If the opportunity presents itself,
we could jump on it at that point.

01:22:37.795 --> 01:22:41.261
The resolution was prepared by our bond
counsel, Chapman and Cutler LLP.

01:22:42.495 --> 01:22:44.728
If you didn't ask for it, it would happen.

01:22:44.728 --> 01:22:45.428
That's it.

01:22:45.428 --> 01:22:48.428
So it's all your fault
if it doesn't happen.

01:22:50.161 --> 01:22:52.761
But, yeah.

01:22:52.761 --> 01:22:56.628
I move that the Board of Education
approve the work in cash bond parameters

01:22:56.628 --> 01:23:01.628
resolution providing for the issue
of not to exceed 6,500,000.

01:23:01.895 --> 01:23:03.095
General obligation.

01:23:03.095 --> 01:23:06.095
Limited taxable bonds.

01:23:06.261 --> 01:23:06.961
Okay.

01:23:06.961 --> 01:23:08.995
Any questions or comments?

01:23:08.995 --> 01:23:09.761
Seeing none.

01:23:09.761 --> 01:23:11.661
We'll call police. Taylor.

01:23:11.661 --> 01:23:14.428
Yes. Calvin Olsen. Yes.

01:23:14.428 --> 01:23:15.595
Yes. Yes.

01:23:15.595 --> 01:23:18.595
Stout. Yes.

01:23:18.895 --> 01:23:20.794
Yes. Sorry.

01:23:20.794 --> 01:23:21.094
Thank you.

01:23:21.094 --> 01:23:24.094
So, Gene. And like way for the show.

01:23:24.494 --> 01:23:27.494
Motion carried.

01:23:28.294 --> 01:23:29.428
Next move on to,

01:23:30.628 --> 01:23:32.061
final construction.

01:23:32.061 --> 01:23:34.128
Pay off the application.

01:23:34.128 --> 01:23:37.328
So the administration is presenting
the final application from Troop

01:23:37.328 --> 01:23:38.294
Contracting, Inc.

01:23:38.294 --> 01:23:41.494
for the culinary arts
renovation work at ASM trail in the amount

01:23:41.494 --> 01:23:45.094
of $118,983.90.

01:23:45.561 --> 01:23:47.094
The application and appropriate

01:23:47.094 --> 01:23:50.094
final line waivers were reviewed
and approved by our associates.

01:23:50.561 --> 01:23:52.894
The contractor has finished all their work
and is assisting us

01:23:52.894 --> 01:23:55.261
with any of the warranty issues
that have arisen

01:23:55.261 --> 01:23:58.028
as a result of the liquidated damages
clause in the contract,

01:23:58.028 --> 01:24:00.994
and not needing the full amount
of contingency allowance for this project.

01:24:00.994 --> 01:24:04.694
We have received a final change order
and the final pay application

01:24:04.694 --> 01:24:08.061
of $60,563.74.

01:24:08.728 --> 01:24:15.194
Thus, the final adjusted price for
this project is $2,320,708.26.

01:24:17.561 --> 01:24:20.728
I move that the Board of Education
approve the final pay application

01:24:20.994 --> 01:24:27.128
from Troop Contracting, Inc.,
in the amount of $118,983.90.

01:24:27.861 --> 01:24:29.661
Second. Okay.

01:24:29.661 --> 01:24:31.294
Any questions? I have one.

01:24:33.428 --> 01:24:35.394
The change order credit? Yep.

01:24:35.394 --> 01:24:38.394
Are you happy with that number?

01:24:40.661 --> 01:24:43.661
Yes or no?

01:24:43.661 --> 01:24:46.761
Right now we are still dealing
with, a flooring issue.

01:24:47.294 --> 01:24:50.528
So we're debating on

01:24:50.861 --> 01:24:55.361
asking them for further
help in regards to that floor.

01:24:55.828 --> 01:24:59.194
So I'm not sure if I'm going
to release this check right away to them.

01:24:59.628 --> 01:25:03.028
In holding it,
it's a little bit of more leverage,

01:25:03.028 --> 01:25:06.628
to kind of get that work remedied in the,
the way I'd like to see it done.

01:25:07.994 --> 01:25:11.994
Right now there are a few where spots
at certain stations

01:25:11.994 --> 01:25:16.228
that look like the floor has just
it looks like an old, worn gym.

01:25:16.461 --> 01:25:18.794
Certain areas where it looks faded.

01:25:18.794 --> 01:25:22.561
Definitely not what you would expect
for a six month old floor.

01:25:22.894 --> 01:25:25.594
Where we have floors

01:25:25.594 --> 01:25:28.394
throughout the district, whether it's
that little auditorium downstairs

01:25:28.394 --> 01:25:33.994
and transitions that have been poured,
a while ago that looked brand new.

01:25:35.494 --> 01:25:36.528
And so if

01:25:36.528 --> 01:25:39.928
right now there's some questions
back to the contractor as well

01:25:39.928 --> 01:25:43.428
as, to the subcontractor
of who did the work.

01:25:43.861 --> 01:25:46.428
To get some clarification on
when that work was done

01:25:46.428 --> 01:25:49.694
and who authorized that work as well as,

01:25:50.194 --> 01:25:53.528
if we can't get them on esthetics,
I have a feeling that we can get

01:25:53.528 --> 01:25:58.161
some warranty work done based on the grit
that you have in a proxy floor,

01:25:58.594 --> 01:26:02.094
where your foot kind of
has a little more traction

01:26:02.694 --> 01:26:05.794
right now when we're cleaning it
and when we've been cleaning these spots.

01:26:06.861 --> 01:26:09.161
It's almost like smoothing out a rock
where it's starting

01:26:09.161 --> 01:26:12.161
to get a smoother texture,
which is not what you want in the kitchen.

01:26:12.594 --> 01:26:15.194
So, we're still working
through some of the warranty work.

01:26:15.194 --> 01:26:18.728
It's it's now more so with the sub
to make sure that they come through and

01:26:18.961 --> 01:26:19.694
follow up.

01:26:19.694 --> 01:26:22.494
As we do
have a year on that work to be done.

01:26:22.494 --> 01:26:26.194
So it was important for us to get in there
right away

01:26:26.194 --> 01:26:28.961
and do a kind of the building,
the ground deep clean at the start

01:26:28.961 --> 01:26:31.394
and at the start of the summer
end of the school year,

01:26:31.394 --> 01:26:34.094
once we can get in there
so that we can start this process.

01:26:34.094 --> 01:26:34.694
Right off the bat.

01:26:35.828 --> 01:26:36.328
Thank you.

01:26:36.328 --> 01:26:37.661
I could have worded that better and asked

01:26:37.661 --> 01:26:40.661
if it was a satisfactory resolution,
which is what I'm.

01:26:41.128 --> 01:26:44.194
Yeah, what I said,
I feel like they were not happy

01:26:44.428 --> 01:26:45.994
that we were asking for anything.

01:26:45.994 --> 01:26:48.094
And they were not pleased.

01:26:48.094 --> 01:26:51.094
When we were in that room, how

01:26:51.994 --> 01:26:52.994
it went down.

01:26:52.994 --> 01:26:55.994
So that gave me a little satisfaction.

01:26:58.394 --> 01:26:59.361
Safety first.

01:26:59.361 --> 01:27:02.194
That's it. Seriously?

01:27:02.194 --> 01:27:04.094
Okay. Any other questions?

01:27:04.094 --> 01:27:06.194
Roll call please.

01:27:06.194 --> 01:27:07.294
Galvin.

01:27:07.294 --> 01:27:08.561
Olsen. Yes.

01:27:08.561 --> 01:27:11.361
Yes. Again. Yes. Stout. Yes. Taylor.

01:27:11.361 --> 01:27:14.361
Yes. Pink. Yes. Motion is approved.

01:27:14.361 --> 01:27:18.528
Item G and DuPage Area
Occupational Education

01:27:18.528 --> 01:27:21.528
System board appointment.

01:27:22.528 --> 01:27:24.561
This is actually the,

01:27:24.561 --> 01:27:27.561
second time
we're going to do this, for next year.

01:27:27.761 --> 01:27:30.528
We have made the decision to have

01:27:30.528 --> 01:27:33.894
Yvonne Sigala serve
as the board representative.

01:27:34.561 --> 01:27:38.528
The reason being that the board
is really been shifting quite a bit

01:27:38.528 --> 01:27:42.594
to be comprised of more assistant
superintendents for curriculum

01:27:42.594 --> 01:27:44.161
and college and career readiness

01:27:44.161 --> 01:27:47.961
and essentially advance
in, counterparts in other districts.

01:27:48.261 --> 01:27:52.094
And since she really works heavily
in this area, this is her area of,

01:27:52.394 --> 01:27:55.894
specialty, it makes sense for her
to step onto this board.

01:27:56.561 --> 01:27:59.528
My role there has been,
the co-op has gone through

01:27:59.528 --> 01:28:02.528
a lot of changes in the last,
the last three years.

01:28:02.761 --> 01:28:05.794
And now are is in the hands
of a new executive director

01:28:06.094 --> 01:28:09.694
and with, some very sound,
you know, vision

01:28:09.694 --> 01:28:13.394
going forward and, and very excited
about the expanded opportunities.

01:28:13.394 --> 01:28:15.461
So I think this is a perfect opportunity

01:28:15.461 --> 01:28:17.628
for Yvonne
to step in to represent the district.

01:28:17.628 --> 01:28:21.194
And so we're recommending that she
be appointed as the deals, representative

01:28:21.361 --> 01:28:21.994
going forward.

01:28:24.361 --> 01:28:26.761
I move that the Board of Education
appoint Yvonne

01:28:26.761 --> 01:28:30.261
Sigel as DuPage High School
District 88 board representative

And, again, this is just for discussion.

01:31:11.794 --> 01:31:15.194
These are still evolving. But,
yeah, this.

01:31:15.194 --> 01:31:16.427
I wanted to share those tonight.

01:31:26.727 --> 01:31:30.327
And,

01:31:32.361 --> 01:31:32.827
Good evening.

01:31:32.827 --> 01:31:33.627
Thank you.

01:31:33.627 --> 01:31:38.527
So school or summer school
is wrapping up this Thursday.

01:31:38.527 --> 01:31:40.294
We're still finalizing
some of our numbers

01:31:40.294 --> 01:31:42.294
to see how many credits have been earned.

01:31:42.294 --> 01:31:43.461
Throughout summer school.

01:31:43.461 --> 01:31:47.794
But we also run our extended school year
program, with students who have IEPs.

01:31:48.327 --> 01:31:50.394
We have about 100 students
who participated in that.

01:31:50.394 --> 01:31:53.494
But, just wrapping up a great summer
and thanks to all the staff

01:31:53.527 --> 01:31:56.494
and support of our buildings and grounds
to keep the building up

01:31:56.494 --> 01:31:58.594
and running as well,
just during the summer months.

01:31:58.594 --> 01:32:01.394
Summer camps are again off and running.

01:32:01.394 --> 01:32:03.894
It is still not too late to join.

01:32:03.894 --> 01:32:05.661
We do have some camps that even start,

01:32:05.661 --> 01:32:09.661
in July, as well
as, when fall sports start.

01:32:09.994 --> 01:32:12.761
Our athletic department
just wanted to remind all athletes

01:32:12.761 --> 01:32:14.494
that there is no better time than now

01:32:14.494 --> 01:32:17.494
to start to get those,
sports physicals up to date,

01:32:17.494 --> 01:32:21.927
because you can not try out, or even,
come out to practice that first day.

01:32:21.961 --> 01:32:24.961
So get that checked off
for the summer list.

01:32:25.561 --> 01:32:28.694
And then just always as a reminder,
we are sending out information about,

01:32:28.694 --> 01:32:30.761
registration for next school year.

01:32:30.761 --> 01:32:32.461
You can stop by Addison Trail.

01:32:32.461 --> 01:32:34.727
You can give us a call,
and we'll be able to help you with that.

01:32:34.727 --> 01:32:37.394
I know some more information.
Will be coming out as well.

01:32:37.394 --> 01:32:41.194
As far as, paying for some student
fees, material pick up and all of that.

01:32:41.427 --> 01:32:42.627
Coming here soon.

01:32:42.627 --> 01:32:45.094
But that's it for tonight. Thank you.

01:32:47.227 --> 01:32:48.594
Just about just about.

01:32:48.594 --> 01:32:49.161
Ditto.

01:32:49.161 --> 01:32:50.361
In terms of,

01:32:50.361 --> 01:32:51.627
things happening in the summer,

01:32:51.627 --> 01:32:54.194
we'll be wrapping up summer school
this week as well.

01:32:54.194 --> 01:32:57.194
Excited for the amount
accredited students have earned thus far.

01:32:57.494 --> 01:32:59.794
A lot of students
coming in to finish up, incompletes.

01:32:59.794 --> 01:33:01.927
And courses and final exams.

01:33:01.927 --> 01:33:06.994
Summer camps, are ongoing and certainly,
summer temperatures arrive.

01:33:06.994 --> 01:33:09.694
So, making sure that all of our outdoor
camps

01:33:09.694 --> 01:33:13.894
are adhering to the different protocols,
as we go forward, especially this week.

01:33:14.194 --> 01:33:17.794
You met a couple of the athletes
that have been recognized here in the last

01:33:17.794 --> 01:33:18.694
week.

01:33:18.694 --> 01:33:22.594
So certainly, Ali and Sonia
being recognized all state for softball.

01:33:22.861 --> 01:33:25.627
But, you know, Rayhan and Aiden
speak for themselves

01:33:25.627 --> 01:33:28.661
in terms of their accomplishments
and, super excited for them.

01:33:28.661 --> 01:33:31.161
And they probably wore their medals
to school today.

01:33:31.161 --> 01:33:34.227
You know, to show off with their friends
and all their friends were excited

01:33:34.227 --> 01:33:35.061
when to hear all about it.

01:33:35.061 --> 01:33:37.127
So, always a great time.

01:33:37.127 --> 01:33:40.561
And, as we go through the, month of July

01:33:40.594 --> 01:33:41.327
or transition

01:33:41.327 --> 01:33:43.727
of the month of July, just reminder,
the Village Park 4th of July parade

01:33:43.727 --> 01:33:46.727
is actually going to be a combined bands
performance. So,

01:33:47.061 --> 01:33:50.227
the Willowbrook and Addison Trail bands,
I think first rehearsal is tomorrow.

01:33:50.561 --> 01:33:52.994
If I'm not mistaken,
they're going to, participate.

01:33:52.994 --> 01:33:53.627
And they're actually,

01:33:53.627 --> 01:33:57.561
I think, doing their first concert
on Wednesday night at the gazebo.

01:33:57.561 --> 01:33:59.494
So it'll be both bands performing.

01:33:59.494 --> 01:34:02.827
So if you want to come on out Wednesday
night, I think it's 630 performance,

01:34:02.827 --> 01:34:03.427
for that one.

01:34:03.427 --> 01:34:04.594
And then at the end of July,

01:34:04.594 --> 01:34:07.027
we have our progress program
for incoming ninth grade students.

01:34:07.027 --> 01:34:10.827
And that's when we really start to feel the transition into the 25, 26 school year.

01:34:15.027 --> 01:34:15.461
Okay.

01:34:15.461 --> 01:34:16.227
Thank you.

01:34:16.227 --> 01:34:19.761

01:35:01.327 --> 01:35:01.527
All right.

01:35:01.527 --> 01:35:02.094
Good evening.

01:35:02.094 --> 01:35:04.760
At this time, we do not have
any public comments submitted.

01:35:04.760 --> 01:35:07.327

The public body, or, I guess, a legal

That's true.

01:36:12.660 --> 01:36:13.727
