2. SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT 

Discussion: A. DLA PRESENTATION - WW RENOVATIONS - WE CONCEPTUAL PLANS - MWRD 

Ed Wright and Brian Pencak presented an update regarding the current renovations at Worthwoods and tentative plans for Worth Elementary

• Parking Lot replacement at WW is in progress with 100% of the surface removed. Matthew Paving was on site and stated that there is minimal undercut to remediate any poor soils and the existing subgrade looked very good.

o Board Member addressed a question regarding the paving. Board Member stated he received a phone call from a resident behind the school regarding the pitch of the pavement. The pavement will drain in the west area. Mr. Pencak stated that the contractor was available and addressed some concerns to the residents. Mr. Wright stated that it was determined that the issues pertain to the Village of Worth and they are working to correct the flooding issues.. 

• Mr. Pencak stated that the Worthwoods renovations are going very well and 100% of the demolition work is completed. With the demolition work done, there were some unforeseen conditions and change orders were completed and currently the framing, electrical, and drywall work are being done. The District will receive the energy savings rebate from ComEd for using LED lighting, Mr. Wright stated that the renovations are on track and while our state has undergone a pandemic, it has not affected any timelines at Worthwoods. 

• MWRD - Mr. Wright stated that the MWRD met with the Board several years back to propose to run drainage lines on the west side of Worthwoods to alleviate some drainage problems residents are currently having. They are proposing drain lines underneath the eastern edge near the fields. It will go south across 111th and drain into a pond. Should further renovations be planned in the future, this will not interfere with any plans. Once a proposal is prepared, the Board will take action as to an easement or an intergovernmental agreement.

o Board Member stated if he knew when this project would take place since discussions have been in the works for over 3 years. 

• Mr. Wright stated it will take sometime and the village still needs to approve as well as the Board taking action. Mr. Wright shared a presentation outlining the Stem furniture options for Worth Junior High. The idea would be to include eight stations to make 3-D models and use a 3-D printer. There are areas where students can work in teams and sketch ideas together. Mr. Wright is working with suppliers to get quotes from two companies and the majority will be purchased with Title IV funds. 

• Worth Elementary - Mr. Wright discussed with the Board the plans for the Worth Elementary School remodeling and addition, Several building plans were shared and discussions engaged regarding proposed option ideas for the future remodel. Options include new traffic plans, playground relocation from Worthridge, storm sewer work, Phase I would include the addition as early as late fall or early spring and can be done during the school year. Phase II would consist of the parking and driving, Phase lll & VI can be interchangeable with the heavier remodeling first and the lighter remodeling thereafter. Board Members discussed the estimated construction costs over a 3-year period and agreed that while Phase 2 improvements were higher costs, it would be more efficient in the long run to do so. Board Members addressed questions regarding property taxes and if this would include increases, Cindy Dykas stated that the Worth Elementary remodeling project would not increase property taxes.

Discussion: B. 2020-2021 EL STAFFING - DR. SINEAD CHAMBERS 

Dr. Chambers opened by stating she will be sharing the current growth of EL number from 2015-2020. We currently have 262 EL students in the district and the numbers have increased by 45 since 2015. Students in the TBE Program (Transitional Bilingual Education) are required to have a Bilingual Endorsed Teacher and these students require full-time teaching. The TBE Program requires to have a bilingual program with more than 20 students offered in their native language and the federal government requires education on the national geographic of their native country. Students in the TPI Program (Transitional Program of instruction) require only part time services.

Arabic Program (seen the most growth in, especially at WW) TBE Program - WE - 34; WW - 39; WJH - 35 This is the language we have seen the most growth in especially at Worthwoods,

Polish Program- TBE & TPI: - WE-21 WW - 18; TPI-WJH - 4

The Spanish Program has decreased over the years. WE-20 WW - 15.

Dr. Chambers stated the Arabic language has continually grown, Currently we have two teachers teaching the Arabic Program, one teacher for Polish, one for Spanish, and one part-time EL Instructor. It was challenging to provide additional help to students in the Arabic language due to the continued growth. WJH was struggling to provide the needed support to those students. Dr. Chambers explained to the Board that there at students that receive part-time and full-time teaching throughout the day. Students that score a 3.0 are placed in the full-time category as those students need more instruction. Students that score an 4.8 or above are placed in the part-time category as those students are very integrated.

Discussion: C. WELCOME JASON TOOTH - WJH ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL 

Dr. Fleming introduced Jason Tooth and welcomed him as the district's new Worth Junior High Assistant Principal. Mr. Tooth shared how excited he is to join the Worth community and how welcoming the staff has been.

Discussion: D. 2020-2021 CALENDAR - UPDATED -8.24.20 (TEACHER INSTITUTE) / 11.03.20 (SCHOOL HOLIDAY 

Dr. Fleming discussed that due to the new election code, Teacher Institute will not be able to take place on November 3rd. Dr. Fleming stated that an election code overrides a school code; however, there have been talks that the state could change this again and districts will be allowed to hold teacher institute that day. Dr. Fleming stated that he met with the Admin, Team and due to the fact that students and staff have not been in their buildings since March 16th, that it would be ideal to hold an additional teacher institute at the start of the school year.

Discussion: E. AUTHORIZING DISPOSAL OF SURPLUŞ PERSONAL PROPERTY 

Dr. Fleming opened by sharing that we have a surplus of 2013 MacBook Airs. Dr. Fleming stated that we've had a number of employees request purchasing these older models. The idea would be to put together an amount to purchase as well as have each person sign a waiver that they are purchasing them in the "as is" condition. The current equipment is becoming obsolete and not capable of uploading the current operating system. Robert Jeffers will be checking each item to see if they are still in workable condition.

Discussion: F. PLANNING FOR 2020-2021 SCHOOL YEAR 

Dr. Fleming engaged the Board regarding the planning for the 2021 school year. Most Chromebooks have been returned except for the following: 28 WE; 14 WW; 34 WJH. The secretaries have been contacting families on how they can get the remaining Chromebooks returned. Damage to returning Chromebooks has been minimal and overall returned in decent quality. With the district having an extra 300 Chromebooks, we want to ensure each student has one for the upcoming year and would keep it with them at all times and bring home each day in case of a quick remote learning day. Kindergarten, 1st - 2nd, consider l-Pads for the ease of use. CARES Grant for the extra devices - $329,000 for technology. 

Dr. Fleming stated that each student would go home with a waiver on the first day of school so each family takes responsibility/accountability for their device. Dr. Fleming stated that as of right now, there are many unknowns. Governor Pritzker will hopefully be announcing the state to Phase 4 on June 26, 2020. June 29, ISBE will come out with guidelines for going back to school this fall.

Information: G. ESSA DESIGNATION SCHOOL IMPROVEMENT PLAN - DR. JOSEPH ZAMPILLO

Dr. Zampillo stated that his update is a follow-up from the previous Board Meeting in May and stated he will be addressing the Board's questions. Dr. Zampillo stated that Anthony Marinello - Director of Programs & Support Services of South Cook reviewed the ESSA Plan and it does meet their guidelines and requirements for submission with some recommendations. Dr. Zampillo shared with the Board the goals and recommendations outlined in the plan.

Information: H. QUEST MEAL CONTRACT - UPDATED - CINDY DYKAS 

Cindy Dykas stated that she attached a corrected copy of the Quest Meal Contract. The line item was changed on the contract and approved by Dr. Fleming and sent in to the state. Ms. Dykas stated that the district will go through the bidding process next year.
