X. Superintendent’s Report Dr. Gatta highlighted the Coming Together in Skokie kick-off featuring the Assyrian Culture this year. She said it was the highest attendance yet for a CTIS event. She stated it was great to not only spotlight the District’s facilities but also a great opportunity for reaching out to the community. Sophomore College Night had 600 people in attendance, largest participation yet. Student placement was discussed as well as the actions being taken to ensure that students are not placed in any course lower than they are capable of achieving success. Semester grades were processed with the new system using second quarter grades rather than semester, therefore, the honor status was incorrect and is being rectified. Dr. Gatta highlighted the success of our Special Education Department under the leadership of Dr. Pete Marcelo. Even with all the mandates and the lack of state and federal funding promised, since withdrawing from the cooperative our net cost per student from 2005 until today has increased only .1% per student despite increases in salaries, etc. She highlighted the success of the third annual Engineering Open House. The GEMS program received great press with District 211 starting a program and acknowledging District 219 as the model. Finally Dr. Gatta acknowledge Dr. Sheri Doniger for being listed in the Illinois School Board Journal for being recognized as a Master Board Member for her work on the school board. − Principals’ Report Dr. Ryan McTague discussed athletics. Both boys’ and girls’ basketball lost their conference games, the cheerleaders competed at state competition coming in 9th, the Vikettes competed at Nationals, Swim and wrestling teams have their conference meets coming up, girls’ gymnastics is ending their season. Dr. McTague talked about February Frenzy, the annual booster fundraiser and encouraged everyone to attend. He said the junior high concert where junior high students sing with our students was fantastic. He talked about the Iris Cantor CEC Basketball Game being very well attended and great fun. The chess team is again the conference champs and are preparing for state competition. The highlight is the North Star News is going live on February 23rd. Mr. Kaine Osburn proudly announced that four wrestlers and two gymnasts were moving on to sectional competition. The girls’ basketball team beat Evanston and are guaranteed a portion of the conference crown. Upcoming events include the celebration of 50 years of basketball at Niles West. Many former athletes and coaches are returning. This event will also honor Billy Schnurr. Jewell Loyd has been nominated for the McDonald’s All American Award. Cultural
