TEACHING & LEARNING REPORT
A.
Action Items (Item which the Board will take action on this evening – i.e., Motions for
Consideration)
FY 2015 School District Library Grant Program
The Teaching and Learning Department only recently received a letter from Secretary of
State and State Librarian Jesse White inviting the district to apply for the FY2015 School
Library Per Capita Grant. This program provides library books, materials, and library
services for students. Funding is based on a maximum of 75 cents per student in each
attendance center of the district. The Teaching and Learning Department and the librarians
are working collaboratively to submit this grant proposal electronically. The submission date
is November 21 so we are asking for a motion this evening to expedite the process.
MOTION FOR CONSIDERATION:
to approve the FY2015 Library Grant proposal at 75 cents per student in grades
K-8.

Informational Items (Items which the Board will receive information about)

Drs. Brua and Dunkin, along with the building principals, Zuica Donev, and Jon
Valentino have worked very closely with all grade level English Language Arts
teachers, including Special Education and English Learners, to embrace and revise
their units in alignment with the literacy tasks associated with the PARCC
assessments. In addition, the Early Childhood team is in the process of powering and
scaling targets in alignment with Creative Curriculum in order to provide an
improved report card for parents. Dr. Brua will provide an update regarding this
work.
2.
State Report Cards
On Friday, October 31, the new school reports cards are slated to go public.

Action Items (Item which the Board will take action on this evening – i.e., Motions for
Consideration)
B.
Informational Items (Items which the Board will receive information about)
1.
Impact of SB16 on District 102
Ms. Bachar reports that based on preliminary calculations, District 102 could stand to
lose approximately $1,171,045 or 78.6% or $640/student of current state funding.
In simple terms, this loss is based on a calculation that takes what the district can
generate locally or ALR (Available Local Resources) based on EAV and an assumed
tax rate and is then compared to what the state refers to as a Foundation Level that
they want every district to be able to achieve as a minimum funding level. In the
calculation, District 102 generates approximately $12,035/student with property
taxes and the Foundation Level is set at $5,154.
The loss is based on the following areas of state funds:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
General State Aid
Bilingual Funding
Special Ed. Personnel
Special Ed. Summer
Regular Transportation
Vocational Transportation
ELL
Ms. Bachar did not see any information where the bill would be shifting local tax
dollars away from the local district. She discerned they are just using ALR to
determine how much districts can generate locally and which districts need more
state funding from an equity perspective. The shift is over a 4-year period so the
district would lose approximately 20% or $292,761 in FY15.
There is more information on the EFAC website, www.isbe.net/efac/ as far as the
numbers that go into the calculations, formulas, and FAQ's. These calculations are
very similar to what the General State Aid formula was supposed to do for equitable
funding, but just never quite hit the mark.
2.
Vendor Payments Over 25K
The vendor list of expenditures over 25K from September, 2014 through October,
2014 is included as an informational item.
