IX. Superintendent’s Report Dr. Gatta stated that preliminary data on the fiscal impact of Senate Bill 16 was issued on May 7 by the Illinois State Board of Education. The recommendations come from the Senate Education Funding Advisory Committee. This Bill creates a single weighted funded formula which establishes a new foundation level. Under this proposal, District 219 would suffer a loss of $2.9 million dollars a year. District 219 is currently working with ED-RED so that our legislatures understand what the impact of this Bill, realizing there are winners and losers and District 219 would be a loser. Every year different publications post America’s Best High Schools, Who’s Who Among the High schools of the Nation, etc. One that gets a lot of interest is Washington Post America’s Most Challenging High Schools. Their formula is to weight certain things, i.e., number of graduates, advance placement, etc. This formula is what J. Matthews calls the Challenge Index. He takes the total number of advance placement courses and divides it by the number of seniors that graduated in May or June. He does this so that he can look at schools who give the average students a chance to experience college reading lists, analytical college examinations and research; and he stated that research consistently shows over and over again that even low performing students that got a 2 on an AP test do significantly better in college than similar students who never take an AP course. Dr. Gatta stated that District 219 has been able to increase its enrollment into the most rigorous courses while maintaining the level of success of a 3 or better and that is why we
received the award from the College Board. The Challenge Index is designed to identify schools that have done the best job in persuading average students to take college level courses and tests. District 219 made the list. J. Matthews thinks a 1.0 on his scale is a modest standard. Our challenge factor is 1.386 and moving in the right direction, even though we still have work to do. Principals’ Report Niles North - Dr. McTague highlighted some of the events at Niles North. He discussed the Niles North Summer Reading Program and stated that reading is a critical life skill. The 49th Awards of Distinction Program will be held on Tuesday, May 13 at Niles North starting with a reception at 6:30 p.m. in the Student Commons and followed by a program at 7:30 p.m. in the Auditorium. Tina Helms and Gary Chu received the Spring Teacher Award from Texas Instruments, which recognizes excellence in mathematics education. Anchor Joshi was selected by the students to be the 2014-2015 Teacher of the Year and Yolanda O’Brien was selected as the Support Staff person of the year. Dance Marathon will be held at Niles West on Friday, May 17 from 5:00 – 11:00 p.m. Niles North’s website, Celebrating 50 Years of Excellence, has been launched. This website will provide information about all events that are being planned next year to celebrate Niles North’s 50th anniversary and 50 years of excellence in education. Niles West - Dr. Ness said that Dance Marathon is in its 11th year and it is a great cooperative between the schools. Dr. Ness thanked the Board members for attending Pasta & Pops and stated that it was a great celebration. Niles West will be launching a program called “LEAPS” (Leading Everyone to AP Success). Each day, starting Monday through Thursday, teachers will be coming to the Lit Center meeting the students to start developing a rapport with them and building the AP culture. The Athletics Hall of Fame is finally taking shape. The hallway is being reconstructed and a blue print is in place to honor the past athletes and their excellence. The first honorees will be inducted on September 12, which will culminate with the activities at the football game. Niles West Debate Team, who have only been in existence for four years, had a tremendous year. This is a rigorous program and a great way to prepare for college. In the last four years, five students earned scholarships to universities from the debate program. Boys’ gymnastics was undefeated and took the Central Suburban League Championship for the first time since 1990. They competed last week at the Lyons Township Sectional and came in 2nd place and qualified for State. Adrian Batista was named coach of the year for the CSL. Girls’ soccer had a tremendous turn around and defeated Maine South for the first time in school history. Niles West Soft Ball Team beat Niles North last week in the Skokie Skirmish. Esther Yim is being honored at the Asian Pacific Ceremony downtown at the Thompson Center this Wednesday. This is an award for youth who excel, not only academically, but in many areas. X. Board Committee Comments Mrs. Valfer commended District 219 for all of the summer offerings to younger children that were offered in the Skokie Park District brochure. Mrs. Klint thanked the principals for taking the initiative for the AP classes at both schools. She has attended everything at both schools for parents. Mr. Silverman attended International Night and commented that the organization, entertainment, food and turnout were extremely impressive. He also attended Pasta & Pops and stated that each student had an opportunity to show their incredible, unique talents. He had the opportunity to attend Avenue Q and said it was an outstanding production. Dr. Doniger thanked the principals for providing a written synopsis of the activities at the schools. Mr. Evans had the opportunity to go to the Induction of the National Honor Society and said that it was very impressive to see well-rounded students being inducted. He commended the parents, teachers and staff for the work they put in. XI. Board Committee Reports Facilities Committee had a meeting on May 6 and discussed the issue of piping which will be added to the cafeteria plan. The Committee also discussed the additional punch list for the Niles North pool and the coordination of closing the pool and the summer swimming program at Niles North that is open to the public. Everything else is on schedule. There was a Joint Facilities/Policy Committee meeting and discussion of some of the policies and it was decided that an additional study will be required. CSSI met on April 16. The Committee reviewed a new honor roll proposal and discussed department feedback which was positive. CSSI requested that District 219 examine the number of students that will be affected by a new honor roll process. Dr. Roloff had the numbers run and is communicating them with CSSI. We will make a formal recommendation to the Board of Education in August or September. In addition, CSSI is proposing that we change from gold, silver and bronze keys to an academic honor such as cum laude, magna cum laude and summa cum laude,
based on a cumulative GPA. The rationale for this is that the college will understand the academic honor terminology more so than gold, silver and bronze. The Committee was strongly in favor of this. Dr. Doniger said that the Policy Committee had a joint meeting and will be discussing policy further. There will be a second reading and another policy meeting will be scheduled. XII.
Business − Digital Literacy Program There was a discussion on 21st century literacy and the new park assessment that will be coming shortly. We don’t know when the assessment will come, but we know it will be administered electronically. We have been working on setting up setting infrastructure and how we will test students over multiple days with the new park assessment. As well as being versed in the content area, students have to have basic 21st century technological skills. If a student spends a lot of time trying to figure out how to maneuver in the test, that would be time lost. Guy Ballard and I discussed how this knowledge will be given at an early time in the students experience so they will do well. Dr. Doniger has been involved with creating a graduation requirement. This is the first version of a pilot program in meeting this goal. It was moved by DONIGER and seconded by VALFER to approve the Digital Literacy Pilot Program for 2014-2015 school year. A roll call vote was taken. Voting Aye: Doniger, Evans, Ko, Greenspan, Klint, Silverman, Valfer. The motion carried. − Proposed School Fees for 2014-2015 School Year There was a discussion on school fees for various schools and the cost of our school fees. It was moved by KLINT and seconded by DONIGER to accept reduction of the school fee only by 50% (or$225) for students who qualify for reduced lunch. All other optional fees must be paid at the standard rate for the 2014-2015 school year. A roll call vote was taken. Voting Aye: Doniger, Evans, Ko, Greenspan, Klint, Silverman, Valfer. The motion carried. − Policies and Procedures 2nd Reading There were no changes in Policies and Procedures. It was moved by DONIGER and seconded by VALFER to approve the 2nd Reading of Policies and Procedures as presented. Voting Aye: Doniger, Evans, Ko, Greenspan, Klint, Silverman, Valfer.
