justice for all. >> We'd like to take a moment of silence for a U46 employee who recently passed away. Elio Rosco Jr. was a technology specialist at Elgen High School and had joined the district in 2022.
LEO played an important role in bringing several student centered projects to life at Elgen High, including the kindness hotline where students could call in to hear short motivational messages from teachers. Co-workers will say that they will
remember him for his deep faith and how it served as a foundation of everything that he did. He approached life with generosity, compassion, and a sincere desire to serve others. Elio passed away on February 27th. He
has survived by his wife, son, mother, and siblings. A funeral service was held March 6th at Elgen Evangelical Free Church. We also remember Ariela Gaitan, who was an eighth grade student at
Abbott Middle School. Ariela was an honor student known for her strength, resilience, and bright spirit. She was deeply creative, especially through her art, and her intelligence and playful personality
brought joy to those around her. Ariela was actively involved in cheer, volleyball, soccer, and the mariachi band, embracing school life with enthusiasm. Ariela passed away on March 6th. She is
survived by her parents, siblings, and cousins. A funeral mass was held on Friday, March 13th at St. Joseph Catholic Church in Elgen. We will keep the families and friends of Ariel, Ariela, and Elu in our thoughts and
hearts. Thank you everyone. Hey, the first item on our agenda this evening is accent on achievement. Dr. Johnson. Thank you, President Owens. Uh this evening, uh we are going to begin with Illinois State Board of Education those

South Elgen High School. >> Another round of applause for the people. Okay, the next item on our agenda is strategic plan report. Dr. Johnson, >> uh this evening we have a a facility planning update. Dr. Anne Williams,
deputy superintendent of operations, will present to the board of education an update on facility planning. There it is. Okay. Okay. Good evening and thank you for another opportunity to provide the board
of education with an update on our facilities work. Before we get into the individual project updates tonight, I want to step back for just a moment. When we look across these projects, what we're really seeing is the district's long-term
commitment to creating learning environments that support safety, belonging, and academic success for every student. Tonight, I'll walk through construction updates at each of these sites, and then we'll close with a few community milestones, including the Glen Brook groundbreaking, the upcoming
topping out ceremony, and the progress on the Larkin Athletic Complex project. With that overview in mind, I'll start with construction updates across several several of our major sites. I'll walk through each project and highlight where
things stand today. This evening, we will start our middle school updates with a drone video that shows the scope and scale of the work being done on the Legacy Middle School site. Amazing to think that we broke ground on this project less than one year ago. Building administrators have
been on site multiple times and are extremely excited about our progress. As a reminder, this project remains on schedule with substantial completion anticipated for late this fall, leaving plenty of time to move in and have the building fully ready to welcome students
and staff in August of 2027. Okay, let's move next to Kimell Middle School in Elgen, which is a much different type of project. Unlike Legacy, this one involves both a new addition and extensive renovations to the existing building. On the exterior,
masonary work on the second floor is wrapping up and the captorium brick on the west side has been completed. Window installation is ongoing and we are starting slab preparation this week for the next phase of interior work.
Inside the building, major systems are coming together. The sprinkler system and stage work are complete. Drywall installation is underway in the second floor classrooms and those areas are now weathertight. Speaking of weather, it has been a bit
of a factor in recent weeks with high winds delaying our roofers just a couple of days, but overall progress remains steady. Operationally, we're also we've also made adjustments to the bus dropoff pattern and those changes have gone
smoothly thus far. We are continuing to coordinate closely with the school team as we prepare for the transition this summer. Teachers are scheduled to return to the building on August 17th. So, the team is carefully sequencing work to meet that timeline.
The project continues to move forward with strong progress across multiple trades. Staying with our middle school projects, the next update is Kenyon Woods Middle School in South Elgen, where the addition is moving into the final stages and the building is really starting to
take shape inside. Inside the new addition, flooring installation is progressing through classrooms and corridors. Crews are also installing the active walls, doors, and hardware, and building signage. One important milestone that is coming
up for this project is the physical connection between the new addition and the existing building. That opening will occur over spring break, which allows us to minimize disruption to students while making that transition safely.
We are also utilizing a small portion of contingency funding related to the network room to ensure the building's technology infrastructure is properly aligned to a long-term functionality. Site work will restart in the next couple of weeks as weather continues to
improve. Crews will focus on final utilities and restoration work around the building. Overall, Kenyon Woods remains in a very strong position to be completed early this summer. Shifting now to our elementary projects,
the next update is Century Oaks and Streamwood. This project continues to move forward with several key initiatives now underway. Geothermal well drilling operations have begun and are expected to continue through late spring as crews complete the geothermal
field that will support the building's heating and cooling systems. At the same time, structural steel erection for the classroom addition has started, marking an important milestone as the building begins to take its full shape. Exterior masonry work is also
progressing, allowing crews to prepare for installation of the face brick in the coming weeks. Underground utility work continues around the site, including coordination with KMed. The team is planning to use spring break to perform the permanent
power changeover, which will allow the building to transition from temporary power to its permanent electrical service. Looking ahead, the roofing contractor is scheduled to mobilize next week with rooftop mechanical units targeted for
installation in midJune. From a scheduling standpoint, the project has been tracking slightly behind earlier projections. However, we expect to regain significant momentum this month with several major work streams, including structural steel,
utilities, and masonry all being online at once. Overall, the project is advancing across multiple fronts, and we expect construction activity to continue accelerating as additional trades come online this spring.
And finally, on the construction side, I want to provide an update on the new elementary school planned in Elgen, which is still in the early stages of the process. On February 25th, we received approval from the city council in Elgen, and we are now working with
city staff on the permitting and zoning side. In the meantime, just this morning, we conducted the pre-bid meeting with approximately 25 attendees, which was a great showing, and they walked the interior and the exterior of the site.
The bid opening for this project is scheduled for early early April with a plan to present results to the board of education in May. We are also working through the required environmental review process related to demolition of the existing structures on this site.
That process includes coordination with state agencies and consultation with historical organizations. It requires public notification and documentation of opportunities for public input which we have already provided. Assuming these steps proceed as
expected, we would anticipate demol demolition and early site work beginning midyear with formal groundbreaking for the new building planned for this fall. The current construction schedule targets substantial completion in early 2028, positioning the building to open
for the 2028 2029 school year. This project represents a major investment in expanding highquality elementary learning spaces in Elgen and remains aligned with the unite46 capital plan and long-term enrollment strategy.
Next month we will bring to you our first video of the interior planned for this site. Now that you've heard the updates from each site, I want to share a visual look at our progress overall. Alex Barlo from
our communications team put together a wonderful video that shows how far these projects have come over the past year. What you're about to see shows the incredible progress at Kimble, Kenyan Woods, and Legacy Middle School as we approach the one-year mark since
breaking ground on these projects. The video then wraps up at Century Oaks, where the amount of work completed since this past December is absolutely remarkable. When you see the pace of progress across these sites, it really highlights the amount of coordination happening behind
the scenes as we do this important work. Let's take a look. Hey, hey, hey. How awesome was that? What a difference a year makes. Okay, it's pretty remarkable to see that
progress that progress all come together. In addition to construction milestones, we're also had several important community milestones tied to these projects. These projects continue to include opportunities for community engagement through ceremonies, naming
processes, and public updates. Over the past few weeks, we've celebrated two groundbreings. We've scheduled our first topping out ceremony, and we're also almost ready to receive questions and comments about the new name of the
Larkin Athletic Complex. On March 3rd, we held a very successful groundbreaking ceremony at Glen Brook Elementary. We had a great turnout from staff, students, and families, as well as the village presidents, and other representatives from the village,
including the police department and the fire department and others. Thank you to Principal Chararma and assistant principal Garcia for their leadership and hospitality and making this a really fun afternoon. Next month, we will bring you our first construction update on
this project. Next, I want to share a milestone we're planning at Legacy Middle School. On Wednesday, March 25th, we will hold a topping out ceremony at the site. Topping out ceremonies are a longstanding construction tradition that
mark the moment when the structural frame of the new building reaches its highest point. Because Legacy is a new build, it gives us the opportunity to celebrate that milestone in a way that renovations and additions typically do not. As part of the ceremony, future Legacy
students from Hilltop Elementary and Ellis Middle School will have the opportunity to sign the final construction beam before it is lifted into place at the top of the building. It's a great opportunity to involve the students who will ultimately call this building home to give them a chance to
see the to see the progress on their future school firsthand. Also shown on this slide is the is the recently approved mascot logo for Legacy Middle School, the lynx. The lynx is a native
species of bobcat found in our region. And the name also plays on the idea of links to the past and meaning behind the name legacy. And frankly, it's a pretty fierce looking cat, which we think will resonate well with our middle school
students. We're excited to celebrate this milestone and continue building momentum towards opening the Legacy Middle School. Next, I want to share a few highlights from the Larkin Athletic Complex groundbreaking ceremony. First, I'd like
to remind everyone that this is not a UniteU46 project. This improvement is funded separately and reflects the district's continued commitment to maintaining and enhancing our existing facilities. We held the groundbreaking on February 24th and I will say it may have been the
coldest ceremony we've hosted yet, but the energy from the Larkton community absolutely carried the day. Students, staff, alumni, and community members showed up in full force. The band was there, student athletes were there, obviously the mascot was there, and you
could really feel the pride across the entire campus. Construction on the complex began that same week, and we are targeting completion for this fall with the goal of being ready for the 2026 27 athletic seasons.
Meeting this timeline will require discipline, coordination, clear milestones, and steady oversight, but that work is already underway. Throughout construction, we'll continue working closely with school leadership as well as our community neighbors to
ensure the project progresses safely, efficiently, and with minimum disruption. Even in the cold, what you see in these photos is exactly what we hoped for, a community excited about investing in spaces where students can compete,
perform, and build school pride. Our final update for this evening addresses a question we've been hearing more and more lately, and that is, how will the new athletic complex be named? As a
reminder, board policy states that the board of education holds the authority for naming or renaming school facilities, including portions of the facility, such as athletic comp complexes. That said, the policy also allows the board to solicit recommendations from
the community and anyone in the U46 community can submit a nomination to the superintendent for the board's consideration. Given the level of community interest already surrounding this project, we will be opening the nomination pro process this spring so community members
have an opportunity to submit their suggestions. Once nominations are received, the district will follow the process outlined in the board policy, which includes holding a public hearing to gather community feedback before bringing recommendations forward to the board of education for consideration.
So, if anyone watching tonight has ideas for a name, please keep an eye out for additional information in the coming weeks about how to participate in this process. And with that, I'll close by connecting these projects back to our broader goals
for the district. They represent our commitment to the goals outlined in the U46 strategic plan, creating safe, inclusive learning environments, supporting academic growth, and preparing students for the future. The work happening at these sites reflects
careful planning, responsible stewardship of our resources, and a shared commitment to providing our students with the facilities they deserve. We appreciate the continued partnership of the board, our staff, and our community as we move these projects
forward. Thank you, and I'd be happy to address any questions you have at this time. >> Thank you, Dr. Williams, for the presentation. And please thank Alex Barlo also for the the video. That was really cool to see the the progression over the past year. Do board members
have any questions or comments? >> Okay. Thank you very much. >> Thank you. >> Okay. The next item on our agenda is comments from the audience. Dr. Johnson, >> there are no public comments this evening, President Owens. >> Okay. Thank you. We'll move then to
other business board member and superintendent update if necessary. Do board members have any updates they would like to share? And again, I'd just like to to reiterate my thanks to the the staff and the community members, um the the officials
from the village of Streamwood, everybody that came out for the Glen Brook um groundbreaking. That was a little bit of a nicer day than we had at uh at Larkin Athletic Field. Um, but
it was great to see um I don't it's great to see the pictures of the the students um that were in that presentation just a short time ago, but the energy at that at that event was incredible with all of the all of the the participation, especially all the
students that were really really excited to to get this work underway. Um so my thanks goes out to everybody that was involved in in getting that to happen. Dr. Johnson, did you have anything? >> I I do this evening. So, um, while we had winter in February, we still had
winter today as well. Uh, as a reminder, in northern Illinois, this happens in, uh, March still. So, I I have some thank yous, uh, for all of the effort and work that, uh, went into making today possible. And these teams are working
right now also to make sure tomorrow is uh, safe for our team members also. So, I want to thank our plan operations team uh who worked tirelessly uh throughout much of yesterday afternoon and then straight through midnight and uh through
the start of the school day today, making sure that our sidewalks and our buildings were going to be warm and ready to uh welcome our students. our grounds team uh that was out doing doing unbelievable work to move a varying
amounts of snow across our 90 square miles blowing snow um trying to make sure all parking lots and sidewalks were cleared and they're back at it tonight as well. So anything that we weren't able to get cleared, they weren't able to get cleared today, uh they're going to make sure is cleared tonight. So
great appreciation for them. Thank you to our transportation team who was also in as well making sure that our buses were going to be ready uh to roll today. Uh when we talk about flexibility and responsiveness uh that that team uh was
was just outstanding today. I know that many people were asked to pick up additional routes, additional responsibilities, the combination of routes as well. So thank you to our transportation team. Um, again, working just around around the clock while others are sleeping. We have hundreds of
people who are awake doing this work. And a thank you to our communications and community relations team as well who um always seems like they're just waiting for us to contact them and ask them to push out messaging at all hours of the day and night. So, um, I want to
I want to thank everyone uh for that effort today. And as I said, I know that that work is continuing right now and will continue through the through the night. Uh so thank you to our operations team uh for for making all this possible today. >> Thank you.
>> Okay, the next item on our agenda is for your requests. >> Uh this evening we have 10 Freedom of Information Act requests. Uh they are currently available on the public domain of Bordox and will be available on the U46 website later this week. Okay, that
moves us to consent agenda. Dr. Johnson. >> Thank you, President Owens. This evening on consent agenda, we have personnel report and workers compensation cases, minutes of board meetings, January 26, 2026.

Thank you, President Owens. Our item this evening, January financial report. Robin Cornelison, executive director of financial services, will review the attached financial report and to respond to questions from the board of education. >> Hi, good evening. Tonight, I will be
presenting the January 2026 monthly financials. January closed with a monthly deficit of 32.2 2 million, bringing the year-to-ate deficit to 106.5 million with an overall ending fund balance of 729.1
million. The current plan deficit is primarily due to theiteu 46 expenditures and the general obligation school bonds totaling approximately 87.4 million, which will be recorded as revenue in February. The bond payments will help
reduce the overall deficit balance. As of the end of January, Unite U46 expenditures total 61.4 million. January revenues totaled approximately 64.9 million, bringing the year-to-ate revenue excluding financing sources to
410.1 million. This represents 50.1% of the annual non financing revenue budget. Compare compared to the prior year revenues show a $6.3 million decrease in local revenue primarily due to the delay
in property tax revenue from Cook County along with 24 million reduction in federal funding. Cook County has now processed the final distributions for the tax year 2024 second installment with 11.3 million of additional payments
received in February and March. The 2025 tax year first installment payments will be due from taxpayers to Cook County by April 1st with school districts expected to receive funds within approximately 30 days of collection. As of the last business day in January,
the state of Illinois owes the district just over $883,000 for various state grants. This balance was due to normal and customary grant expenditure reimbursements. January expenditures totaled approximately 97.1 million, bringing the
year-to-ate spending to 516.8 million or 53.7% of the annual non- financing expenditure budget. Compared to the prior January year-to- date actuals, expenditures increased 67.2 million. The majority of
this variance is attributed to capital improvements, which account for 39.9% or 59% of the difference. Salaries and benefits reflect a $32 million increase primarily due to January being a three-month payroll, a three payroll
month. The remaining variance is distributed across the other expenditure categories. Overall financial year revenues and expenditures remain on track to meet the projected budget. As of January 31st,
2026, the district held cash and money market balances of 360 306 million investments of 477.1 million for total liquid assets of 783.1 million.
The district currently has 293 days of cash on hand, allowing it to operate approximately 9.77 months without additional revenue, which exceeds the common benchmarks for financial stability. This calculation is based on
available cash and investments relative to total budgeted operating expenditures for all funds. For comparison, measuring cash on hand using the ending fund balance for all funds relative to the total budgeted revenue, the district
would have 10.68 months of cash on hand. When limited to operating funds only, which would be fund 10, 20, 40, and 70, the district would have approximately nu uh20 months of cash on hand. This cash
on hand comparison methodology aligns with board policy and the Illinois financial profile. Beginning with the February monthly financial reports, this measurement will be presented using the formula instead of the historical data based on cash and investments.
As of January 31st, 2026, the district had $4.1 million in student activity funds throughout all schools with year-to-ate receipts exceeding dispersements by approximately $454,000. Various receipts and expenditures
continue to be focused around fundraisers, field trips, outdoor ed, student payments, and athletics. I now welcome any questions you may have. >> Do board members have any questions? Okay. Thank you.
>> Thank you. >> Okay. The next item uh next this evening work session. Our first item is Academy Honors Physical Science Curriculum and Resource Proposal. Deb McMullen, coordinator of K12 science
and planetarium, and Frankie Valencia, secondary science instructional coach, will present the Academy Honors Physical Science Curriculum and resource proposal, and we'll respond to questions from the board of education. Administration recommends approval of the Academy Honors Physical Science
Curriculum and Resource Proposal in the amount of 75,722.7 and requests authorization for district administration to execute related documents. This expenditure will be charged to the education fund. The cost is included in the budget for the 2025
2026 fiscal year. >> Thank you. The uh purpose of our presentation is to ask for the funding as uh Dr. Johnson just outlined to bring forward an academy honors physical science course
for our international balorate or IB we'll refer to it as IB often um at Elgen High School. I wanted to we wanted to include this to kind of help everyone understand the IB pathway. Um so freshman year in science
our IB students will be taking academy honors biology. That course is also available um currently at Elgen or sorry Bartlett High School. And then the new course that we would like to have for sophomore year is that academy um
physical science honors physical science course. And that course will then allow students to make a choice for one of three uh pathways either chemistry, physics, or uh environmental science. And they would be in that pathway for
two years. So we kind of see that sophomore class as a pretty critical time for them to kind of explore chemistry, physics, earth, and space science, which is why we're bringing this integrated uh approach to you. This proposal aligns to goal three of
our strategic plan which is academic growth and mastery. The rationale for this proposal includes vertical alignment establishes clear conceptual and skills-based bridge supporting enrollment in diploma program science courses. Equity and access provides all
students with access to IB aligned practices before committing to IB science pathway. Science skill development explicitly teaches expire uh experimental design, data analysis and scientific communication modeled after
IB assessments and interd disciplinary coherence. It integrates chemistry, physics and earth and space science concepts to reflect how science is applied in real world context. >> The team that worked on this uh proposal was actually pretty large and uh
diverse. was uh quite a few um admin a lot of administrative support and then we had IB teachers as well as honors teachers in uh at Algen High School and so we had a pretty good team uh to put this proposal together. the process timeline. We we started this work
actually a little bit before April of 25, but that was when we kind of really got together and started working. And so by November, we had an outline finalized of what we wanted. And um now we're in front of you. 26 27 the teachers um will
be participating in professional development and they also can opt into teaching this curriculum and then as early adopters and then 2728 is when we would have full um implementation. Uh all right so the standards um first
of all this course is built on NGSS and we want the next generation science standards sorry and uh we would like to utilize they would like to utilize open sciad chemistry and physics units and then in addition to that there was a lot of research and a lot of conversation
around how does this course really work as a springboard for IB and so we did a very exhaustive search of what kids would be doing in um chemistry, physics, or earth and space science in that junior year and that senior year to look
for any gaps. We actually didn't identify too many gaps except for uh wanting to make sure that we align to IB's really their learner characteristics. Um I ran ironically non-ironically actually um NGSS meets
those goals. And so um the other thing that they looked at are high impact researchbased instructional routines. Um, and NGSS Open SIAD really did mark all um, check all of those boxes. We also looked at IB's diploma program practices to make sure those were
incorporated and that students will be intentionally taught those practices so they're ready for junior and senior year. And then we plan to use our district common assessment data for student performance in order to make shifts or change trends as we need to. So the teachers analyzed the chemistry
and physic frameworks and identified shared concept conceptual threads, skills, and assessment practices. The academy honors physical science is a fullear laboratory course combining the core physics concepts, chemistry
concepts, earth and space contexts. Instruction is organized around anchoring phenomenon and each semester culminates in a student design capstone investigation. So we bring before you uh the ask of adopting open sad. It is an open
resource uh educational resource and we want they want to use the mo models of chemistry and physics or portions of those. Uh it's a high quality researchbased science curriculum. It's designed to align to the framework and and to the next generation science st uh
science standards as well. The implementation um this year is for us to get everything put in place, everything purchased, get everything lined up for next year. Next year we'll start with the professional learning. We have a pretty good professional learning plan. Um and the teachers helped to
design that. They were were very frank with what they thought they wanted to have as job embedded. And so we listen to that. Um and then we will utilize our resource data. I think our department is pretty good at that in order to make shifts as they're needed to support the teachers and the students. And then 2728
would be a repeat of 2627 um in that we're still monitoring and and taking in data and making sure that the um professional plan that they have in place is taking place. So professional learning
I didn't I didn't photocopy this well sorry. Um the professional learning uh plan is going to be curriculum focused. That's very important and that's how open siad is actually built. We currently have teachers um that are
there are potentially slotted to teach this course attending open siad this year with our chemistry and physics teachers. So, we already have some people experiencing that and we'll have an ongoing job embedded coaching model from um an organization that has very
extensive NGSS curriculum writing and instructional practice experience working with these teachers kind of um almost privately you could think of like the those just those they're they're those three teachers is who they're going to work with. And this will incorporate structured feedback and
reflection um so that the teachers are really getting a a great experience and kind of a unique experience to make this course pull forward and do great things for kids. The cost includes print materials, lab materials, supplemental supplies, professional learning, and it totals
$75,722.7. And there's a detailed breakdown of the costs in the board proposal. The estimated annual cost for consumable materials is $1,500. The estimated per pupil cost over six
years is $126.20. And professional learning cost includes provider and substitutes. And because we are collecting our evidence to make sure that we are um evaluating our our change properly for goal three, we're going to be using
common formative common summitive assessment also capstone projects. So the students each semester will be experiencing a capstone that they'll have to do similarly um once they're in their pathway students student enrollment and then also the persistence
in Ivy. So in other words, are they entering the pathway and are they completing the pathway? Uh and then also teacher feedback and uh implementation with fidelity and make sure that that we're hitting everything we need to. >> And that concludes our presentation.
>> Thank you both. Do board members have questions, Sue? So we have the IB program now. What are these students taking in 10th grade currently? um in in 10th grade they are taking it's a it's a physical science class that
we've had in place since when I was there >> forever >> and and so that's what they're that's what they're doing. So they just want something they they don't they don't have a set curriculum necessarily. They it's we need to fix that that gap. >> Right. Right. >> Yeah. Okay. Thank you.
>> Y >> any additional questions? So kind of taking along um with Sue's question. So they're they have the the class that they're taking now in 10th grade. Are they deciding a pathway at this point towards either chemistry or physics or
earth science? >> Yes, because they'd have to make that decision. Um I don't know what month that's in, but I could I could definitely find that out for you. But they have to make that decision so that they can start enrolling in their junior year. >> Is that something that IB is like is that part of the IB program
that they have to have a a pathway in science for those two final years? Well, yeah. Yes. Because be it it's the two it's the two-year because they do an extensive research project. They have to do a very authentic >> um and almost individualized research
project or small group. So that's why they need the two years. The first year they're kind of learning and setting up that and then that last year is true research. >> Okay. >> It's um pretty rigorous. >> Okay. Okay. So, I'm assuming then embedded in this course for the the sophomore year, there's there's also the
opportunity for some guidance for the students, right? To to really make sure that that they are individually prepared to to tackle that. >> Yes. And that's the that's the gap we sort of identified was being intentional in the in the like open sad has what
they need, but being intentional about the vocabulary of the learner characteristics. And so when they we when we designed this, we made a grid >> and uh we had we had of course all the content kinds of things but we had the skills and then we also had things like
risktaker, >> perseverance so that those were intentionally put into as thought of as a gap content gap but put in and what's kind of nice is open sad because of the way it's designed it it offers that. So,
>> um, it wasn't a huge stretch other than just being super intentional so that the students hear in sophomore year the same learner characteristics they're going to hear junior and senior year. >> Okay. Okay. Thank you. >> Yeah. Any other questions, Shondaanda? >> Thank you for this presentation. This
looks exciting. Um, so how are students guided in their 10th year to make sure that the pathway they're on because it's so extensive for the first or the yeah that first year and that second year um so that you're not having students you know what I really don't want to do the chemistry pathway anymore.
>> I don't and I and I don't know what happens or if that happens but I can I could certainly find out for you. Um and so I think it's just it's about making sure kids are exposed to all of those. So one of the one of the gaps that we
identified and I think we brought this forward last year when we um brought forward open sad. One of the things that was happening for a very long time here is our kids were never our our kids were on the you know the AP track were never exposed to earth and space
science. >> They just weren't. And so part of this is to fix is to fix that. So number one is to make sure that they are getting exposed to earth and space science and earth and space science is one of the very cul culminating sciences. You have
to utilize chem and you have to utilize physics in order to understand how our earth works. Um and so I think just naturally having students kind of check those things out. I think another thing that happens is that students start talking to the other students. So they talk to students that are in the um
current IB environmental program. I see them out doing things in the on the nature trail or doing the national biology to teach in and then the chemistry kids listen. So I think they kind of talk to each other but the first step is for us to give them exposure to
all of the things that that they could learn about all the possibilities. So I don't know if I answered your question. >> No, you answered it. Okay. Thank you. >> Any other questions? Okay. Next. Okay.
>> So, uh, Deb McMullen and Frankie Valencia are going to continue to present, uh, this evening. Next, we have the chemistry curriculum and resource proposal, and they are also going to be here to, of course, respond to questions from the board of education.
Administration recommends approval of the chemistry curriculum and resource proposal in the amount of $174,299.64. 64 cents and requests authorization for district administration to execute related documents. This expenditure will be charged to the education fund. The
cost is included in the budget for the 2025 2026 fiscal year. This proposal seeks funding for the adoption of new resources and professional learning for chemistry and physics courses across all U46 high schools. This proposal aligns to goal three of
our strategic plan, academic growth and mastery. The rationale. The current chemistry and physics resources are nearing contract expiration or are out of print. Comprehensive needs assessment for the courses revealed significant challenges
in aligning teaching practices assessments and curriculum with the next generation science standards and the U46 science curriculum. Key issues identified include misalignment with NGSS standards, insufficient use of phenomenon based instruction, and a
critical need for professional learning to support effective implementation of the board approved curriculums. We wanted to bring back we we were here of course last year and we wanted to review that we had a a good group of teachers who were working to bring
forward open sed. So this was the first group of teachers and then these were the teachers this year who focused on uh physics and chemistry as an opt-in option. And so you can see the names of the of the teachers who participated in that. Um April of 2025 last year
teachers provided notice to me of wanting to opt in next year for openside chem or openside physics teachers. Um these teachers that were on that list, they participated in the regular um open sciad chem and physics professional
learning opportunities. They also participated in our meetups and the meetups were used to provide feedback and to problem solve. We had no problems. Um data has been collected and shared to measure how the two groups of stu of teachers are aligning to the
board approved curriculum. Um, and so what we did was we we uh used information to look at how what were students being exposed to in the opt-in group open sed. And in your board proposal, we listed some pretty extensive information that
we found. The standards that support our proposal are the next generation science standards. And many of you are familiar with them. They are threedimensional including the science and engineering practices, disciplinary core ideas and the cross cutting concepts.
>> Uh there are no changes to the objectives, content, grade level or pre prerequisites for chemistry and physics that we brought from last year. Freshmen are still enrolled in biology. They're taking open sciad biology. Sophomores are typically enrolled in chemistry. So
some of our students were enrolled in open sciad chemistry. and juniors are typically enrolled in physics and so some of our students were enrolled in open science physics. Science courses are required for high school graduation and our goal is to ensure our science curriculum prepares students for
postsecary success. This slide shows the sequence of the open siad units and currently the um freshmen are receiving the biology and earth and space and you can see the lines that connect them. the biology are connected to the chemistry standard or
units and the chemistry units are connected to the physics units. So um the alignment will go from biology to chemistry to physics and they'll receive all the NGSS. So our recommended resource here is uh
to adopt open sed open educational resource model for chemistry and physics. It's a high quality researchbased science curriculum designed to align with the K12 framework for science education and the next generation science.
The implementation plan 2526 we had a group of of teachers who who opted in in both chemistry and physics. They had job embedded professional learning and support. They utilized common assessment data to make shifts in our instruction and professional learning. We utilized
resource data to make sure to make sure the shifts in instruction in PL were happening and we offered voluntary summer professional learning and we also reviewed the chemistry and physics um pilots. We kind of opt them in then a pilot but we reviewed those to to see
make sure that all the systems were working. Um 26 27 it's kind of a repeat of of uh 25 26 um and then 2728 is full implementation. So next year with approval um all students will be
experiencing uh open open sciad chemistry and physics uh go ahead >> cost includes the ECA kits for open we skipped one I think professional learning let me do that sorry my fault professional learning um again they
attended curriculum focused professional learning um the act they were active learning to engage um the educators in hands-on practices We had ongoing coaching which was um really really important for um biochem
and physics for everyone and we incorporated structured feedback and reflection so that we were um I was kidding earlier. I'm sure you knew that when that we had no problems. We we were very we tried to be very responsive and we also built kind of a whole system of like how are we going to solve our
problems and um and it worked really well in our meetup system. >> So sorry now the the cost um ECA kits for openside chemistry and physics and the total is $322,2420. Now, some of the chemistry and physics
books were purchased already because of the opt-in that we did this past year. So, the estimated per pupil cost for chemistry is $174,29964. Estimated 43
56 chemistry students over six years equals $401. The estimated per pupil cost for physics with 147,72456 and the estimated enrollment is 300
$3,366 for the next six years and that comes to $4388. And the annual cost of consuming materials is $1,500 for each school and and each course
>> should put that uh our plans for evaluation um of goal three to make sure that we are hitting our um our goals is to use our common formative data, use our common subjective data, resource use re usage which also uh includes the
discussions that we have in our professional learning and then also So, uh, during our meetup sessions and so we'll take all of those into account as we make changes and make sure that we're um we're on target. >> And that concludes our presentation.
>> Thank you both for that presentation. I just want to note that um for those of you following along at home um this presentation covered both agenda items 16B and C. Um so because they are two
technically separate um programs we'll be you know we list them as as two separate items on the agenda. We'll be voting on the county industry and the physics separately um just combine them into one presentation >> and I'll read the second one into record after your
>> question. Very good. Uh and then uh given that if I'll take any uh questions for the presenters Sue. >> So thank you for the presentation. I love this. I love this program. I wish they they had it when I was in high school. Um, a couple qu questions on
your proposal. One, for the chemistry, you mentioned that the the classes that didn't opt in use instructional materials that emphasize things such as unit conversion, density calculations, the things I remember my kids learning. >> Um, and you you say that it's important,
but it should be taught in middle school. So, my question is, are we teaching it in middle school? >> We we are. We we are um so >> because open sad is instructionally clear what
what teachers have to do what students have to do the expectations are there and when you're a teacher and you're looking at the next generation science standards they're very they're huge and I wondered if sometimes teachers weren't
sure what the standards were asking them to do. Um, and so what's happening is there our our teachers are reteing items that were taught in eighth grade or sometimes fifth and just didn't
realize it. Um, and so part of what's really important about this open side problem program, probably the most important part of it is the professional learning. That that is that is so key to this. um if we don't provide our teachers with
that professional learning, it's not going to matter what we give them, uh I I fear that we would stay not in our lane, per se. >> And so this is going to really help our teachers know what we we're finally
giving them instructional clarity and we're supporting them with the professional development that's going to help them understand it um even even better. >> Thank you. One one more quick question. We seem to have had more buyin for the chemistry than the physics in terms of
teachers opting in. Do you have any concerns about that? >> No. And it's actually it's very that's interesting because the buyin is actually more physics than chemistry. And so what's really interesting about that chemistry list is some of the folks on there were some of the loudest objectors.
>> But I but I I mean it was great because they they joined it and now they feel differently about it. So um that's that's what happened with chemistry and that's a that's a national trend. Um nationally chemistry teachers do you
know they the next generation science standards >> they want to keep teaching un >> they want to do math. Yeah they want to do math. Yeah. >> Okay. Thank you. >> Yep. >> Any other questions? >> Just to to clarify on the implementation is it a full implementation
>> full implementation next year? Yes. >> Okay. Okay. Thank you. >> Y >> All right. Thank you for the presentation. >> Thank you. >> So I will go ahead though and read the proposal just into record. So we have physics curriculum and resource proposal
again presented by Demick Mullen coordinator of K12 science and planetarium and Frankie Valencia secondary science instructional coach uh who presented the physics curriculum and resource proposal and responded to questions from the board of education. Administration recommends approval of
the physics curriculum and resource proposal in the amount of $147,72456 and requests authorization for district administration to execute related documents. The expenditure will be charged to the education fund and the cost is included in the budget for the 2025 2026 fiscal year.
>> Thank you, Dr. Johnson. And we can move on to the next item. >> Yes. Our next item, renewal of school district U46 high school membership in the Illinois High School Association IHSA 20262027. Uh Dr. Annette Asdo, assistant
superintendent of schools will present a request to the board of education to certify the renewal of membership in IHSA. IHSA membership will not require payment of dues. The district's five high schools participate in this organization and the district will submit five signed
membership copies due by June 30th, 2026. >> Do board members have any questions for Dr. Oavo. >> Okay. >> Thank you. >> Thank you. >> That brings us to work session resolutions. Dr. Johnson.
>> Thank you, President Owens. Our first item, resolution authorizing the submittal of serious safety hazard findings to the Illinois Department of Transportation. Uh, this resolution is required annually annually by the Illinois State Board of Education. The attached resolution confirms that
district administration and the transportation routing team have completed a comprehensive review of the newly established attendance boundaries for the 2026 2027 school year. These locations will be submitted to the
Illinois Department of Transportation once approved by the Board of Education and students who reside within the designated areas during the 2026 2027 school year will be provided free transportation services. The district will request reimbursement from the
state for transportation services provided. Elizabeth Lapa, assistant director of transportation will present the resolution and will respond to questions from the board of education. Administration recommends the board of education adopt the resolution authorizing the submittal of serious
safety hazard findings to the Illinois Department of Transportation. >> And just a reminder, this is round three of the resolutions that we have had on the hazardous area designations. Um, so the the first two resolutions were covered in previous board meetings. Do
board members have any questions on this resolution? >> Okay. Thank you. >> Thank you. >> Uh, next we have a resolution authorizing individuals to act on behalf of plan 403b. Dr. Dr. Kyle Vonzy, Deputy
Superintendent of Operations, and Robin Cornell, Executive Director of Financial Services, will review the resolution authorizing individuals to act on behalf of plan. Administration recommends the board of education approve the resolution. >> Do board members have any questions on
this resolution? Okay, move to the next one. >> Next resolution authorizing individuals to act on behalf of plan 457b. Again, Dr. Kyle Vonese, deputy superintendent of operations and Robin Cornellison, executive director of
financial services will review the resolution authorizing individuals to act on behalf of plan. Will um and that's it. Administration recommends the board of education approve the resolution. >> Do board members have any questions on this resolution?
>> Thank you. That moves us to work session bids and proposals. Dr. Johnson. >> Thank you, President Owens. Our first item, bid plant operations, South Elgen High School exter exterior door replacement and secure vestibule project
number 283-26. Sheila DS, assistant superintendent of operations, and Jolene Linaman, capital project coordinator, will present the attached proposal summary and respond to questions from the board of education. Administration recommends award to the lowest responsible bidder, Northwest
Contractors Incorporated, in the amount of 1,883,576 and request authorization for district administration to execute related documents. This expenditure will be charged to the operations and maintenance fund. The cost is included in the budget for the 2025 2026 through
2027 2028 fiscal years. >> Do board members have any questions on this bid? Okay, thank you. Thank you. >> Next is a proposal postsecary AVID regional training. Michelle Chapman, director of postsecary success and Elizabeth McKini, your coordinator of
instructional programs and student supports will present the attached proposal summary and respond to questions from the board of education. administration recommends propo approval of the proposal from AVID not to exceed $90,000 and requests authorization for district
administration to execute related documents. This expenditure will be charged to the education fund. The cost is included in the budget for the 2025 2026 fiscal year. >> Do board members have any questions on this proposal? >> Thank you. Thank you.
there. >> We're staying for the next. >> Yes, you are. >> My apologies. >> We will then move to work session contracts over 35,000. Dr. Johnson, >> thank you, President Owens. First up, contract renewal, postsecondary success,
Ed Menum. Again, Michelle Chapman, director of postsecary success, and Elizabeth McKenna, coordinator of instructional programs and student supports will present the attached proposal and respond to questions from the board of education. Administration recommends approval of the contract renewal with Ed Menum in the amount of
$712,500 and requests authorization for district administration to execute related documents. This expenditure will be charged to the education fund. The cost is included in the budget for the 2025 2026 through 2028 2029 fiscal years.
>> Do board members have any questions on this contract? >> Okay. Thank you. a next contract for post-secondary success school links. So Michelle Chapman is still here but now she is joined by Dominic Zoe lead
counselor to present the attached proposal and respond to questions from the board of education. Administration recommends approval of the contract renewal with school links in the amount of $669,469.75. requests authorization for district district administration to execute
related documents. This expenditure will be charged to the education fund. The cost is included in the budget for the 2026 2027 through 2030 2031 fiscal years. >> Do board members have any questions on this contract?
>> Okay, thank you. >> Next contract specialized student services training and materials. Amanda Leatherbeby, director of specialized student services, and Jennifer Walker, special education administrator, will present the attached proposal and will
respond to questions from the board of education. Administration recommends approval of the contract with Grafton School Incorporated, DBA, Grafton Integrated Health Network, in the amount of $197,470, and requests authorization for district
administration to execute related documents. This expenditure will be charged to the education fund. The cost is included in the budget for the 2025 2026 fiscal year. Do board members have any questions? Kate. >> Um yeah, I just have one question. I'm
actually a crew trained in my um day job. Um this obviously includes the training, but have we accounted for the pads? >> Yes. >> Okay. And that's included in all this? >> Yes. Okay. Perfect. >> Any other questions? Shondaanda. >> Um I just had a question. um in the
contract. So, it's designed as a train the trainer and Grafton has the sole discretion on like qualifying our trainers, but then when our trainers train the U46 employees, do the trainers have the sole discretion to say that an employee has successfully passed or does
Graphin have to come back in to do that? >> You would have that autonomy to make that determination if someone really struggled through that training process. >> Okay. Okay. And then when they renew for if they choose to renew for the next year or they renew for the next year, then they would still be trained by our trainers.
>> Yes. And our train the trainers um would have to be retrained um by Grafton. >> Okay. Thank you. >> Any other questions? Okay. Thank you. >> Thank you. >> That moves us to work session change orders. Dr. Johnson. >> Thank you, President Owens. We have a
change order. Plant operations. South Elgen High School pool mechanical upgrades. Sheila DS, assistant superintendent of operations and Jolene Litman, capital projects coordinator, will present the attached change order and respond to questions from the board of education. Administration recommends
the board of education approve the change order from MG Mechanical Contracting Incorporated in the amount of $60,37. This expenditure will be charged to the operations and maintenance fund. Do board members have any questions about this change order?
>> Okay. Thank you. >> Thank you. >> Thank you. >> Hey, that is the last item on our agenda. I will take a motion to adjurnn. >> So moved. >> Second. >> Roll call, please. >> Miss Kerr, >> yes. >> Miss Nolan,
>> yes. >> Miss Schwarz, >> yes. >> Miss Thomas, yes. >> President Owens, >> yes. >> We are journed at 8:22 p.m. >> Thank you, everyone.
