Adjournment

The regular meeting of the Board of Education of Central Community High School was held on March 19, 2018 at 7:00PM in the boardroom.

Members present were Mike Nettemeier, Sean Kennedy, Mary Lou Voss, Amy Kruse and Jeff Kampwerth, Tim Richter and Dennis Meier. Visitors included Ami Shanafelt, Dustin Foutch, Kevin & Shelly Kenow and Kelly Ross.

The agenda was approved on a motion by Voss, second by Richter. Roll call vote: Aye -Mike Nettemeier, Sean Kennedy, Mary Lou Voss, Amy Kruse, Jeff Kampwerth, Tim Richter, Dennis Meier. Nay - None

The minutes of the previous meeting were approved on a motion by Richter, second by Kampwerth. Roll call vote: Aye -Mike Nettemeier, Sean Kennedy, Mary Lou Voss, Amy Kruse, Jeff Kampwerth, Tim Richter, Dennis Meier. Nay - None

The financial report was reviewed and accepted on a motion by Voss, second by Kennedy. Roll call vote: Aye -Mike Nettemeier, Sean Kennedy, Mary Lou Voss, Amy Kruse, Jeff Kampwerth, Tim Richter, Dennis Meier. Nay - None

Mr. Meyer reviewed some correspondence and information with the BOE.

Mr. Meyer reported that the best three-month average daily attendance (ADA) for the 17-18 school year is 554.51 as compared to the 540.65 from the 16-17 school year. We anticipate larger enrollment numbers next year as well and hope attendance rates stay high. This should mean an increase in funding from the State of Illinois to be paid next year, but all things are dependent upon the new Evidence Based Funding formula being implemented during the upcoming year. Of course, the Governor continues to discuss caps on property tax levels and a cost shift to districts for retirement debt payments has grown more popular recently. Many unknowns are still present for our financial picture.

Mr. Meyer discussed the dual credit program and the upcoming workshop. It is a complex issue with a lot of factors in play that are far reaching and cost related. Dr. Dustin Foutch had some input from his experience. Mr. Meyer will keep the BOE informed once he attends the workshop.

We have recently received our annual Capital Credit reimbursement from the Clinton County Electric Cooperative in the amount of $3,987.42. This was for the 1991 calendar year. As a cooperative, each member receives the reimbursement based upon billing amounts for that year compared to the profits earned for that year.

Mr. Meyer gave an update on the 18-19 Renovations and Building Addition Projects. We continue to finalize specifications on the outdoor renovations and feel we are very close to releasing bid documents. Some parts have been very difficult to finalize. The irrigation system is causing some concern. Mr. Meyer asked the BOE if the irrigation system could be an alternate because of the unknown expense. The BOE agreed. Mr. Meyer will discuss those matters with Todd Jones along with a timeline for pre-bid meetings and bid opening and we are hopeful that we can award contracts at a special meeting prior to our regular meeting on April 23rd. The sooner we do so, the better position we will be in for contractors to complete the base components and alternate parts of the project we select.

As far as the building addition components of the project, we have come to a finalization on most aspects of the Band and Music addition and everything is close to our discussions at previous Board meetings. The focus is mostly on finish details and furnishings. The Media Center has been more difficult to finalize. Although there have been changes to set up (i.e. circulation desk, technology, locations for equipment, etc.) and philosophy of usage, there is nothing that will significantly affect cost estimates. Finalization of specifications for the additions have actually almost caught up with the outdoor renovations and bidding and an award of this contract is ahead of schedule. The sale of Funding Bonds and the Debt Certificates has been completed and the money is in our fund balances awaiting expenditure. The expense of the borrowing process has also been paid on the original debt certificates. Other administrative expenses have also been paid as part of the debt amount. We have been paying for some expenses on the projects from current Operation and Maintenance Funds. Depending upon the outcome of bidding and contract awards, we may make some line-item transfers at the end of the fiscal year.

Mrs. Katie Florczyk chaperoned 51 Honors English II students to the elementary schools in Albers, Bartelso, Damiansville, Germantown, and St. Rose.
