Review/Discussion of Building Parent/Student Handbooks • Annually, the building parent/student handbooks are approved by the BOE. Communication is the area with the most changes that seem to be highlighted. This is due to the fact of the change of the communication software, ParentSquare, that will be implemented in the school year 2025- 2026 school year. • Artificial Intelligence (AI) language and how to use it appropriately have been added with additional information that may need to be added into the handbooks for future submissions. • All buildings - Spanish Version – please make sure that those are available. • High School – o Discussion was also held on adding smart glasses should be added under the cell phone/electronic devices policy. o High School -Grading Assessment area and identify the classes that will be based on Evidence-Based Grading vs Traditional. o High School – Attendance changes, encouraging students to attend regularly. o High School – Posting Grades, when and how that should be communicated with students, parents, and guardians.

A motion was made by Mike Davis and seconded by Nicole Josephs to approve the Annual Meeting date for Monday, October 20th, 2025, at 5 p.m. to be held at the Bauer Center with the Middle School Auditorium as an alternative site. F. Curriculum Update • Summer School wrapped up on Thursday, July 10th. There were 937 students who participated, even with the transportation being eliminated. • Evidence-Based Teaching and Learning – Seventy-five (75) staff have attended those sessions. • Eric Larson, Data Consultant, has met with staff in June and provided some great feedback on the data for the 2024-2025 school year. On August 4th, during the Board of Education Data Retreat (5 p.m. – 8 p.m.), some of that data will be shared. G. MHS Building Project Update • PRA and CG Schmidt provided an update that was shared with the Board. • NAMI has been working on trying to keep the humidity out of some of areas with temporary air-cooling systems. • A lot of subcontractors are now on-site and are trying to get in as much as they can. • The project is still on schedule and on budget. • CG Schmidt, B&S Development Team, and the city contractor have met regarding the lift station. Those involved are optimistic that the project will be finished by December. • A discussion on the arch was held. The current arch is part of the structural part of the entrance and will be staying with the building, but a replica of the arch will be incorporated into the new building. • A synthetic infield for the varsity baseball and softball fields was recommended by some community members, but that was not part of the budget. However, there is some indication that there may be a sponsorship that would support this recommendation. In this case, the sponsorship would be used up front, with the payments being paid over the next three (3)to five (5) years. Turf would need to be replaced in 12-15 years, depending on usage. Work is currently being done on the athletic fields at this time, so this is a time-sensitive issue. While there is interest from the Board, the feedback and concern of the Board agreeing to continue with this suggestion stems from the maintenance that would be required on the District and the funding of the project prior to receiving the sponsorship. • The initial graphic and branding designs from Amplify Graphics were shared with the Board. H. Budget Update and Operational Referendum Discussion • State Budget – o Low Revenue Limit Ceiling was not increased. o $325 per pupil still applies o No change in the general/equalized aid. o Categorical Aid did have an increase in Special Education Aid of 42% in year one and 45% in year two. o High Cost Special Ed Aid increased to 50% in year one and 90% in year two. o Mental Health Funding was continued for grant allocations. o Transportation Aid increased for students for 12 or more miles. This won’t affect our District as we don’t have students who are transported more than 12 miles. • Expenditures o Cost of Open Enrollment – increased about 12.7%. If our deficit between our ins and outs continues, this would cost us an additional $114,000 o Title I Funding was not affected, but there is currently a freeze on all other Title Funding – this would affect our Title II (professional development, ELL, and Technology Funding), roughly about $94,000 in funding that would be an issue for Monroe. • Year-End Budget o Projected to come in $400,000 under budget with the general expenditures. • Future Budgets o Possible $2 million deficit for 2025-2026. o Forecasting for the 2026-2027 school year, we will have a better idea of what we may need for a referendum by November/December. o Administration will take a look at what the next steps may need to be done and prepare what may need to be done for the possible $2 million deficit or prepare for a referendum. 8. Informational Items A. Boardsmanship/Administration o Senator Howard Marklein will be in the District on Thursday and discussing the State Budget and the needs of the District. B. Board of Education Correspondence C. Committee Reports o Terri Montgomery – EIE will be meeting July 22nd and finalizing the Pickleball Tournament D. Agenda for Future Discussion E.
