Ms. Kautz then shared a video of various Humanities classroom activities. Dr. Vicki Billimack, Prairie Ridge English Teacher, shared the Advanced Writing course and writing process in the Blended Learning format. Board members were

informed that Dr. Billimack wrote the proposal for this Blended Learning course by reevaluating the curriculum (class vs. individual) and reviewing the units (class time vs. flex days). Dr. Billimack explained that the Advanced Writing class meets 2-3 times per week along with 2-3 flex days; allowing for the ability of one-on-one teacher/student contact. It was noted that Advanced Writing is a semester course; currently only offered in the fall. Written and vocal feedback from students was shared with all in attendance along with a Prairie Ridge High School student sharing her perspective on being in the Blended Learning class. Dr. Steve Koch concluded the presentation by speaking on change, providing different opportunities to students, and receiving positive feedback. Shannon Podzimek, Director of Communications, announced that Dr. Steve Koch, Prairie Ridge Principal, would provide the introductions regarding Student Recognition. The CHSD 155 student listed below was recognized for her accomplishments.

Board members were informed that Prairie Ridge High School teachers Leah Groat and Kristin Lee presented at the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages convention held in New Orleans, Louisiana (November 15-18, 2018). Ms. Groat and Ms. Lee shared their thoughts and experiences from attending the convention. Shannon Podzimek, Director of Communications, reported there were three completed requests for Records Under Freedom of Information Act. It was noted that additional information regarding these Records Under Freedom of Information Act is available online as part of the district website Board Information Packet. 1. John Pletz, Citizen Request was withdrawn. 2. Meghan Tillson, Citizen Request was withdrawn. 3. Todd Wolff, Citizen Request was granted in part and denied in part. Scott Coffey, Citizen, addressed the Board. Mr. Coffey commented on the process and content of the Board s levy approval as well as the levy presentation. John Pletz, Citizen, addressed the Board. Mr. Pletz commented on Board members who abstain from voting on agenda items that effect their family members. Jeremy Davis, Assistant Superintendent of Finance and Operations, presented the Treasurer s Report for month ending November 30, 2018. Board members were informed that the district has received approximately $41.9 million of its budgeted property tax revenue for the 2018-2019 school year (on track).

Mr. Davis further explained that by the end of December, the business office will process the district s first of two semiannual bond payments totaling approximately $1.1 million. This payment includes both principal and interest. It was noted that the second semiannual payment will be processed in June 2019. That payment will be interest only in the amount of less than $300,000. In addition, the state is approximately three months behind in paying mandated categoricals, which are reimbursements for special education and transportation expenses; total amount owed is approximately $370,000. Board members were informed that the next quarterly categorical payments are due at the end of December 2018. If not received, the state will owe CHSD 155 over $725,000. Evidence-Based Funding (formerly known General State Aid) continues to be paid in a timely manner. Jeremy Davis shared that administration presented a draft 2018 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) at the November 20, 2018 Board of Education Meeting with Board approval of the draft CAFR as presented. At that meeting, the district auditors at Tighe, Kress, & Orr mentioned that a calculation by the Department of Central Management Services (CMS) to finalize the audit had not been received. It was noted that CMS was working on calculating outstanding obligations owed by the State of Illinois on behalf of school district employees for Teacher Health Insurance. At that time, the district auditors did not believe a resulting accounting adjustment would be material to the CHSD 155 financial statements. Board members were informed that the necessary adjustment reduced D155 s end of year net position from over $109 million down to $51,925,889. This adjustment is due to a change of standards within the Government Accounting Standards Board (GASB) No. 75. It was further noted that, despite the size of the adjustment, the decrease in net position is strictly an accounting calculation, as CHSD 155 fund balances have not changed. After discussion with legal counsel, the district s CAFR will not need to be approved again by the Board of Education. Discussion was held which included the amount of cash reserves, the district rating/recognition, the new GASB regulation, the percentage of expenses, the June 2018 payroll expenses, and capital outlay. Jeremy Davis, Assistant Superintendent of Finance and Operations, recommended that the Board of Education approve the attached Bill List and Bills Summary for the period of November 14, 2018 through December 11, 2018 in the amount of $8,794,987.50. Nicole Pavoris moved and Ron Ludwig seconded the motion that the Bills as listed on the Agenda in the amount of $8,794,987.50 be approved and ordered paid as presented. Upon the roll being called, the following members voted. Aye: Jason Blake, Amy Blazier, Adam Guss, Rosemary Kurtz, Ron Ludwig, Nicole Pavoris, Dave Secrest Nay: None

Jeremy Davis, Assistant Superintendent of Finance and Operations, presented the Property Tax Relief Grant Application. Board members were informed that the State of Illinois is offering a 2018 Property Tax Relief Grant (PTRG) opportunity. If the Property Tax Relief Grant is awarded to CHSD 155 in full, the State of Illinois will pay 86.4% of the tax rebate, or $6,867,619.58 to the district. It was noted that the Property Tax Relief Grant is scheduled to be paid in the spring of 2019. Additionally, the $6.9 million grant would be added to CHSD 155 s Base Funding Minimum from the State of Illinois in each subsequent fiscal year. Mr. Davis explained that districts will be notified if they receive this grant in late January 2019, approximately one month after the tax levy is due to the County Clerks. If CHSD 155 is not awarded the Property Tax Relief Grant, the district will permanently reduce its operating levy down to a flat level; saving taxpayers at least $1.7 million per year, forever. If CHSD 155 is awarded the Property Tax Relief Grant, the district will reduce its operating tax levy down further than a flat level, resulting in an even greater annual savings to its taxpayers. It was noted that the Property Tax Relief Grant was presented and discussed at the November 19, 2018 Budget, Planning, Finance, and Audit Committee Meeting. Discussion was held which included speculation of receiving the grant and taking advantage of an opportunity. Dave Secrest moved and Jason Blake seconded the motion that the Board of Education approve the Property Tax Relief Grant Application as presented. Upon the roll being called, the following members voted. Aye: Jason Blake, Amy Blazier, Adam Guss, Rosemary Kurtz, Ron Ludwig, Nicole Pavoris, Dave Secrest Nay: None Jeremy Davis, Assistant Superintendent of Finance and Operations, clarified that the district complied with all guidelines in accordance with the Tax Levy approval process as well as public discussion at committee meetings. It was noted that other surrounding school districts have approved an increase to their tax levy. Mr. Davis then presented the Resolutions Authorizing the Final Tax Levy for Year 2018. The 2018 Tax Levy Summary noted that D155 administration recommends a tax levy approval process that will result in a flat levy and flat tax extension in the district s operating funds with an annual savings of at least $1.7 million to taxpayers, forever. Mr. Davis also presented and explained what happens with the tax levy if held flat; potential taxpayer savings with a 2018 Flat Tax Levy; 5-year tax extension history; 5-year tax rate history; D155 tax year 2014-2017 comparisons; and estimated 2018 savings for a $200,000 home. Board discussion included tax levy process, possibility of additional relief to taxpayers; managing district finances; Board of Education decision making process; and flat levy approval vs. Property Tax Relief Grant Application. It was noted that there are two Resolutions related to the Final Tax Levy for Year 2018. Board President Adam

Guss requested two separate motions take place. Reading of the Resolutions Authorizing the Final Tax Levy for Year 2018 was waived.
