hopes we all share for our students. I look forward to sharing the work already underway, and the support we're building for all of our District 211 students. At this time, I'm going to turn it over to Mr. Joshua Shoemaker, assistant superintendent of curriculum

to you the coach of the Hoffman Estates High School esports team, Gonzalo Bullan. Gonzalo Bulljan has been a member of the Hoffman Estates special education department for the past 24 years and he's been a champion of the growing area of esports and a critical part of
developing this sport in the Midsuban League Conference. Wisconsin. Good evening. Uh I would like to start off by saying thank you to the board of education and Hoffen administration for all the support that they have shown uh this young and growing esports program.
Our uh our esports team had a very successful season. The team won many awards and accolades. Uh, but when I look at those guys, what I'm most proud of is the culture that they helped create in our team. Um, here with us tonight are our Mario Kart and Rocket League teams. Mario Kart finished the
season first in conference, second in sectionals, and fourth in state. Our Rocket League team finished first in conference, first in sectionals, and third place at state. It is my honor to introduce our esports members. Starting with Mario Karts. Here with his parents,
Samantha Rodwell is Xavier Demansky. Here with his parents, Jonathan and Jessica Bose is Ethan Bose. Here with his parents, Jenny Lopez, is Matthew Lopez.
Here with his father Jorge Prito is Jorge Prietto. Introducing our Rocket League team. Uh here with his parents, Aniko and Doru is David Galloo. Also here with his parents, Brandon and
Kate Johnson, is Troy Johnson. Thank you very much. Thank you so much. Thank you to everyone. Thank you for the staff uh to the staff for supporting our students and their achievements and certainly thank you to the parents for supporting
their achievements as well. Um I spent a lot of time playing Mario Kart in high school and I really would have loved a chance to compete back in the day, but I don't think it's worth it now. So, I'm sure I'm sure I could learn a few things or two, but thank you. Thank you. It's an incredible achievement. I love to see
such a flourishing, growing program. It's fantastic. So, thank you to everyone. And I want to um on behalf of the board, welcome Dr. Campbell. We're so excited to have you. And um we're so excited to go on with the rest of the evening with you at the table. Thank you
so much. Uh we've gotten pictures done already, so there's no need to do our usual recess for more additional photos. We are going to continue on with the business portion of our meeting, including public comment. Everyone is more than welcome to stay, of course, but that is a personal choice. That is
not an obligation. So, I leave it up to you to judge um what you'd like to do with your time this evening. Next on our agenda is public comment. The board welcomes you and is pleased to listen to your comments this evening. It is important that you know this is a
public board meeting and not a dialogue. So the board members will not be responding to your comments or answering questions at this time. As a reminder, this board meeting is being taped and livereamed. We ask that you value the procedures and decorum of our meeting and be respectful of those at the podium
so that they may be heard. When I call your name, please come forward to the podium and state your name for the record. Though not required, you may state if you are a resident of the district. Please limit your comments to 5 minutes. You will receive a notification when you have one minute remaining. Any individuals unused time
or place in order may not be deferred to another individual. If you wish a response from the superintendent, please leave your name and phone number with Mr. Teniper. Again, there's five minutes allotted for public comment. We did not have anyone sign up to speak, but the invitation
still stands if anyone feels moved to make comment. Yes. Apologies for not getting to the signup sheet here. Welcome, Superintendent Campbell. Hello again, Mr. Schumacher, Vice President
Cavl, board, staff, and community. I'm Lee Bennett, whose dramatic skills peaked early in grade school. It's not fair, Billy. There's no place to play that
game, Mom. All my friends get to do it, son. It costs too much money. But everyone else is doing it. Performing this skit in 2023 was a memorable way I introduced the District
15 board to a hypothetical seventh grade boy wishing to play volleyball for his junior high team. For the record, my son demonstrated significantly more maturity when expressing similar feelings a few years earlier, but that's far less fun to
reenact. Billy's cohort was the last class of district 15 boys denied this opportunity last year. Billy's class did finally get to play interolastic volleyball at Palatine and FM as freshmen. Their
access to a school uniform this year is rather uncertain as our program has very limited opportunities for sophomores. District 15 built the space and funded the opportunity for the boys behind Billy. They now offer interscolastic
boys volleyball like all other MI middle schools in the North Cook region. We should also accommodate this pipeline of interest for the sophomores as other nearby conferences do. As I've acknowledged, evaluating the fairness of the larger high school
athletics program is more complex. Our program relies on fully accommodating female interest in sports to comply with Title 9. boys interest in volleyball is not being fully accommodated or even accommodated to the
same extent as many other sports. How is it that the district considers this fair? Sophomore boys wishing to play intercolastic volleyball are not just statistics or figments of my imagination. I know many of these boys
through a Paline Park District program conducted in spring of 24. It seems we will once again be too late to change our systems to accommodate their interests, but I have higher hopes that things will pro improve for the boys
behind Billy. Thank you very much. Thank you. Is there anyone else that wishes to speak? We will move on then to our consent agenda. I have had a request to remove item G
from the consent agenda to be voted on separately. So the recommended action is to approve the consent agenda as presented with the exception of item G which we will uh vote on separately. Uh may I have a motion please? So moved.
Second discussion. May I have a roll call, please? Miss Baron, I. Mr. Dumbowski, I. Mrs. Lopez, I. Miss Russell, I. Mr. Van Dyk, I. Miss Caval, I.
The next recommended action is that the board of education approve the resolutions authorizing intervention and proceedings before the state property tax appeal board, which seek assessed valuation reductions in excess of $100,000 for property tax year 2024.

from the cabinet. We have any extra information? We don't. Okay. Um, I can speak to uh the long-standing enthusiasm for a mobile application.
That's something that um has come up through the strategic planning process the last time we went through that and something that we've been consistently hearing from parents in particular for many years now in um conversations about
uh how to improve our communications and whatnot. So, this is very very exciting to finally have an action item relating to that um before the board and I'm very pleased to see that. I'm really excited to see what that brings forward. Uh so, can I have a roll call, please?

If you remember last month when we talked a little bit about the overview of the finances which I think it's important for all board members to have access to. So, I'll make
