Board Praises New Baseball Fields; Ribbon Cutting Set for July 10th
The board discussed the positive impact of the new baseball field facilities, with several members expressing excitement and appreciation. The fields were described as beautiful and a significant upgrade from the old ones, which had caused injuries. The board members toured the facilities and noted that both home and visiting teams, as well as the community, will benefit. A ribbon-cutting ceremony for the new baseball field is scheduled for July 10th at 5:30 PM.
Empire Printing Awarded FY27 PE Uniform Bid; Student Fees to Adjust
The Board of Education approved the bid for the fiscal year 27 physical education uniform bid to Empire Printing. The cost for the uniforms will be $13.50 for a set, with shirts at $6.50 and shorts at $7.00, and an optional $13.75 for sweatpants. The district will not make a profit on these sales, charging parents the cost to the district. This award will change the student fee structure, with a slight increase to reflect the uniform costs. The approval was moved by Mr. Jwitt and seconded by Mrs. Clingler.
Internship Program Thrives; District Completes Strategic Office Relocations
The school district's career pathway internship program is providing students with real-world experience and strengthening partnerships with local employers. Students are gaining hands-on experience at the Round Lake Area Park District, in social media and marketing through Collision Solution internships, and exploring healthcare careers with Endeavor Health. These partnerships help students connect classroom learning to future careers. Additionally, the district has completed several strategic office relocations to improve collaboration and facility use, with specific departments like Human Resources, Communications, Special Education, and Safety moving to new locations. Appreciation was extended to the maintenance, custodial, and grounds teams for their efforts in these transitions.
Board Approves Amplify ELA Professional Development Contract Funded by Title 2 Funds
The Round Lake Area Board of Education formally approved the Amplify ELA professional development contract for middle school ELA curriculum, which includes initial training, follow-up sessions, and coaching opportunities throughout the year. This contract will be funded by Title 2 funds. The finance committee had previously approved this item. The board approved the contract with a motion by Miss Clingler, seconded by Mr. Jwitt, with all members present voting in favor.
Graduation and Promotion Dates Adjusted to Avoid Athletic Conflicts
The community engagement committee discussed proposed dates for graduation and eighth-grade promotion ceremonies, aiming to avoid conflicts with student athletic events. The proposed dates are May 14th for graduation and May 17th for middle school recognition. These dates were chosen to accommodate various track and field, and tennis sectional and state final competitions in May. The committee supports these dates, acknowledging the need for 'cajoling' to adjust the board meeting schedule if necessary to allow student participation in both ceremonies and competitions. A communication snapshot was also mentioned, highlighting an early homecoming date.
