ACTION ITEMS

#1 Approval of Bids for the 2025 Middle School Capital Projects - Issuance 1 The Administration, along with our partners at Perkins+Will and Nicholas & Associates, prioritized Middle School Capital project work at Monroe and Franklin Middle Schools in the summer of 2025. A competitive bid for this work was structured to include three bid packages: #1 for the General Trades, #2 for HVAC (Mechanical), and #3 for Electrical work.

All three (3) bid openings were held on March 06, 2025. Thirteen (13) total contractors obtained bid packages, and ten (10) contractors responded by submitting bids. The bid packages were designed for Monroe and Franklin Middle Schools as follows:

1. Package #1 - General Trades - Base Bid plus five (5) alternates

2. Package #2 - HVAC - Base Bid plus five (5) alternates

3. Package #3 - Electrical - Base Bid plus five (5) alternates

Each package has an identified low bidder. Administration has also identified Alternate Bid 1 & Alternate Bid 5 in Bid Packages 1 and 3, and Alternate 1 in Bid Package 2 as additional bids to be awarded. These Alternate Bids will allow for the addition of skylights in interior classrooms at Monroe and human-centric lighting in all of the classrooms being remodeled at Monroe.

A copy of the letter of recommendation from Nicholas & Associates and the bid tabulation sheet was attached to the agenda item. The bid recommendations total $4,447,100, which falls below the Nicholas & Associates estimate dated February 12, 2025.

There was additional information/comments on the following:

● The Board was reminded that several updates had been provided as the plans developed. At the February Committee of the Whole meeting, the Board received an overall budget scope update and a projected cost for the first bid issuance.

● The bid results for the first issuance were very favorable - a couple of million below the estimated cost. This is a small part of the overall project (3% of the total budget), but this is a good start - on time and under budget.

● The work will start immediately after the last day of this school year. There is a short window with a lot of work to get done this summer.

● The next round of bids, Issuance 2A, will be out in April, and Issuance 2B is expected to be out in May of this year. Issuance 3 will be out later this year, and all interior renovation work is expected to be done in the summers of 2026 and 2027.

There were comments and/or questions on the following:

● The decision on lighting (skylights vs. solar lighting tube) for the Monroe classrooms being renovated this summer - the goal was to bring some natural light into the classrooms; in the end, it was felt a better solution came in at a favorable cost; also noted skylights have fewer holes being cut into the roof.

● HVAC and mechanicals related to lighting/skylights - involve relocating classroom ducts and some additional electrical operating shades.

● Happy to get some natural light into those classrooms and to get off to a good start with the issuance #1 bids.

It was recommended that the Board of Education award the bids as presented.

MOTION

Member Paulsen moved, Member Rutledge seconded that the Board award the bid submission for Bid Package #1, including the Base Bid, Alternate Bid 1 and Alternate Bid 5 to Monarch Construction of Elk Grove Village, Illinois in the total amount of $2,645,100.00, Bid Package #2, including the Base Bid and Alternate Bid 1 to Helm Mechanical of Westmont, Illinois in the total amount of $671,500.00 and Bid Package #3, including the Base Bid, Alternate Bid #1 and Alternate Bid #5 to Meany, Inc. of East Hazel Crest, Illinois in the amount of $1,130,500.00 as presented. Upon a roll call vote being taken, the vote was AYE 7, NAY 0. The motion carried 7-0.

#2 Approval of the 2025-2026 Student Fee Schedule

During the 1994-1995 school year, the District instituted a basic fee schedule at all school levels that was put into effect as of the 1995-1996 school year. Annually, the administration reviews the fee schedule in preparation for the upcoming school year. A recommendation is then brought to the Board of Education for approval.

The recommended district fee schedule and high school course fee schedule for the 2025-2026 school year were attached to the Board agenda item. The administration has reviewed the current revenue impact of collected fees and how they help offset ongoing budget expenditures.

During the 2024-2025 school year, an additional fee was introduced for the Illustrative Math Workbook for elementary students in grades 1-5, as well as middle school students. Additionally, the district covered the cost of the Bookworms workbook(s) while piloting the literacy program. For the 2025-2026 school year, the district has fully adopted the Bookworms program.

The Business Office recommends the following changes to the fee schedule for the 2025-2026 school year:

● Kindergarten registration: Now includes the Bookworms Workbooks, increasing to $77.00 per year.

● Grades 1-5 registration: Now includes both the Illustrative Math and Bookworms Workbooks, increasing to $121.00 per year.

● Grades 6-8 registration: Now includes the Illustrative Math Workbook, increasing to $102.00 per year.

● Wordly Wise workbook fee: Increased by $1.00, bringing the total cost to $13.50 for students in grades 3-5 enrolled in the PACE program and students in grades 6-8 enrolled in the FastPaced program.

● Instrument rental fees: Band and orchestra instrument rentals will now be separated by subject. Fees will increase to $120.00 per year per user for band instruments and $70.00 per year per user for orchestra instruments. Previously, the 2024-2025 fee for both was $35.00, which was based on instrument cleaning and repair costs set in the early 2000s. Due to rising costs, the proposed 2025-2026 fees reflect current expenses.

As in previous years, K-12 registration fees will be discounted by $10 for those who pay before July 1, 2025. No changes are recommended for athletic fees, and consumable fees will continue to be charged at cost. Tuition-based fees for the Early Childhood program at Jefferson will remain at the customary rate. Additionally, the high school course fee list was included in the report. Proposed consumable fees are based on need, while workbook fees are set at cost. At the request of Principal Lorie Campos of Wheaton Warrenville South High School, the Business Office recommends a $20.00 increase for Life and Fitness - Bowling and Lifetime and Fitness - Adventure, due to higher activity and shuttle costs.

There was additional information/comments on the following:

● The Finance Committee reviewed the fee schedule at their last meeting and looked at a few options before landing on the proposed fee schedule.

● With regard to compartmentalizing some of the fees related to consumables - workbooks for IM and Bookworms - the committee felt the more the fees were spread out, the more confusing it may be for our families and the public, so the workbook fees were rolled into the registration fee.

● It was noted that the registration fees were halved at all levels by the Board in the 2021-22 school year. This change brings the elementary fee very close to its previous amount, while the fees for the other three levels remain significantly lower than those for the 2020-21 school year.

It was recommended that the Board of Education approve the 2025-2026 Student Fee Schedule as presented.

MOTION

Member Hjerpe moved, Member Long seconded that the Board approve the 2025-2026 student fee schedule as presented. Upon a roll call vote being taken, the vote was AYE 7, NAY 0. The motion carried 7-0.

#3 Approval to Post the Tentative Amended Budget & Set the Public Hearing on the Amended Fiscal Year 2025 Budget

Section 17-1 of the School Code requires Boards of Education to adopt an annual school district budget before or during the first quarter of each fiscal year (by September 30), and if amending the budget, follow the same procedure as for the budget's original adoption. Prior to adoption, the Board must make a tentative budget available for inspection by the public for at least 30 days. Additionally, a public hearing regarding the budget must be conducted.

The Administration brought an Amended Tentative Budget for FY25 to the Board of Education for consideration. The reason for the Amended Budget is to account for the revenues associated with the General Obligation School Bonds, Series 2025, Bond Issuance, and the increase in expenditures related to the Middle School Capital Projects that will be due prior to June 30, 2025.

The Amended Tentative Budget presentation will be made available for inspection by the public at the School Service Center and posted on the District website. The FY25 Amended Tentative Budget booklet will be available after the closing of the Series 2025 Bond Issuance and all transactions recorded in the financial system.

A public notice regarding the availability of the Amended Tentative Budget for inspection was attached to the agenda item and was published in the Daily Herald newspaper, which has a circulation within the local communities. The Public Notice will also include the date of the Public Hearing for the Amended Tentative Budget, which will be held at 7:00 p.m. on Wednesday, May 8, 2025, at The School Service Center, 130 West Park Avenue, Wheaton, Illinois 60189.

○ The deficit for operating funds is due to BOE pre-approved security upgrades ($1.56 million)

There was additional information/comments on the following:

● The Board Finance Committee reviewed the tentative amended budget.

● The need to do an amended budget due to the bond sale tied to the referendum project, which occurred since the budget was originally established last summer (revenues), and the expenditures related to the middle school projects that will be due before the end of the fiscal year (June 30, 2025).

● The amendment focuses on the expenses related to all service partners in place doing the work (Perkins+Will Architects, etc.).

● The District must follow the same exact process as we do with the regular budget.

● There must be a 30-day timeframe between the posting of the amended budget and the public hearing.

● We anticipate using this money from the bond sale within an 18-month window and going out to market at about this time again next year for the phase two bid issuance.

● Readjusted tax collections based on what actually came in in the fall of last year.

● The bond proceeds will come into fund 60; the exact dollar amount of repayment, which the Board approved through a resolution last August, will be reimbursed to the District.

● What is being projected is not an operating deficit based on a structural basis. It is purely an operating deficit surrounded by the decision to spend money that had come in as revenue in the prior fiscal year.

There were comments and/or questions on the following:

● The public hearing and approval of the tentative budget are scheduled for May 8th, the Board Reorganization Meeting.

● The half point lower than the projected rate in the pre-referendum analysis amounts to $3 million less in payments over the course of the loan than what was initially assumed. Additionally, moving the projected 2027 issuance to 2026 would slightly alter things. If everything remains the same and all projections accurately reflect the information from the first sale, we are looking at an approximate $3 million aggregate reduction in the total cost outcome projected for both bond sales.

It was recommended that the Board of Education post the Amended Tentative Budget for Fiscal Year 2025, and set the Public Hearing for said Amended Budget on Thursday, May 8, 2025, at 7:00 pm at The School Service Center, 130 West Park Avenue, Wheaton, Illinois 60189.

MOTION

Member Long moved, Member Paulsen seconded that the Board post the Amended Tentative Budget for Fiscal Year 2025 and set the Public Hearing for said Amended Budget on Thursday, May 8, 2025, at 7:00 pm at The School Service Center, 130 West Park Avenue, Wheaton, Illinois 60189, as presented. Upon a roll call vote being taken, the vote was AYE 7, NAY 0. The motion carried 7-0.

ORAL REPORTS

Franklin Middle School Boundary Discussion

Per Board Policy 7:30, attendance boundaries are reviewed each school year to ensure each school operates consistently with student capacity limits. The last boundary change was made in 2015, with a slight adjustment in the Hawthorne and Pleasant Hill boundaries. Prior to that, an adjustment was made in 2012 at Franklin Middle School. The Franklin Middle School boundary change moved a portion of Washington Elementary School from Franklin to Monroe. A description of the areas that were moved was attached to the Board agenda item. In both boundary adjustments, students already enrolled at a school were allowed to continue while the new boundary was phased in.

The most recent set of enrollment projections done by Dr. Kasarda shows an enrollment trend that will allow some additional capacity at Franklin. Based on that attendance pattern, the District received a request from a group of community members to review the 2012 boundary adjustment to determine if those attendance areas could be adjusted back to Franklin. This would avoid the continued split of the Washington feeder pattern into two middle schools.

The District has done that analysis, reviewed it with both the HR/Policy Committee and the Facilities Committee, and determined that both current and future projected enrollments would support the change. If a change is approved, we recommend a similar phased approach with grade 6 students moving to Franklin for the 2025-2026 school year, while grade 7 and 8 students would be given the option to stay at Monroe or move to Franklin.

The administration is proposing a change to the Franklin attendance boundaries. The information related to the proposed change was attached to the agenda item, including the background on the previous boundary change, the specific areas impacted, Franklin enrollment projections through 2031, the implementation plan, and the timeline for communication and community engagement

Open Session Minutes – March 12, 2025 Page 8

around the proposed plan. The engagement would take place following the March Board of Education Meeting. It would allow the Board to review all feedback and consider the proposed boundary change either at the April 9th Board Meeting or the April 23rd COW Meeting. Both would take place before scheduled middle school step-up activities for the 2025-2026 school year.

There was additional information on the following:

● Enrollment capacity - we have not had a capacity issue at our schools for the last eight years, and our boundary patterns have been very stable.

● The history of the 2012 boundary adjustment involved moving a portion of the Washington Elementary feeder from Franklin to Monroe Middle School. This adjustment was phased in over two years.

● A group of parents inquired about the viability of a boundary change, moving it back now that the enrollment pattern is different at Franklin. This would enable all Washington students to feed into Franklin Middle School.

● Philosophically, it is good to keep elementary feeder patterns together.

● Wanted to be sure this will not change again in four to five years due to capacity.

● The administration spent time with the building principals at Washington, Franklin, and Monroe to look at all aspects of this recommendation and ensure we are well-equipped to continue to provide the service at each of the middle schools.

● The plan is to do engagement activities in the community, communicate with impacted families, and make calls to the transitioning sixth-grade students. The detailed community engagement/feedback plan was included with the Board agenda item.

● Based on community feedback, the plan is to bring a recommendation to the Board at the April 9th Business meeting. There is an April 23rd Committee of the Whole meeting, should any questions arise that require additional investigation or information.

● For students currently at Monroe (current sixth and seventh-grade students) who reside in the boundary adjustment area, those families would be given the option of either continuing at Monroe or transitioning to Franklin. Bus transportation would still be provided to both Franklin and Monroe for the two years of the phase-in plan.

● The District has mapped out a process for families to notify what they intend to do for next year. Fifteen students are entering sixth grade who live within the boundary adjustment area.

There were comments and/or questions on the following:

● Parents have asked for this; the idea of keeping fifth graders with their classmates for the next three years in middle school is a positive thing.

● Appreciate the accelerated schedule for students to attend step-up activities at the middle school they plan to attend. This is an important transition for students.

BOARD COMMITTEE REPORTS

Board Facilities Committee

The Board Facilities Committee met on March 5, 2025. The meeting notes were attached to the agenda item. There was additional information on the following:

● Member Paulsen noted the committee discussion focused on the middle school capital projects, the Franklin boundary area (discussed in tonight’s oral report), and other facilities in the District, including Woodland, the Transition Center, and the School Service Center (SSC).

● The temporary relocation spot for Facilities/O&M is Woodland, on the southwest side of the District. The kind of workspace and office space needed for the O&M department. There is a need to think big picture about the right solution for that group.

● Planning for future facility improvements or adjustments once we get through the middle school projects.

● Any opportunity for intergovernmental cooperation on facilities or maintenance, either in terms of cohabitation or consolidating some services? Conversations to explore with both the City of Wheaton and the Wheaton Park District.

● A reminder, the District has $151 million worth of construction at the middle schools to focus on in the immediate, and then this conversation will follow.

Board Finance Committee

The Board Finance Committee met on March 3, 2025. The meeting notes were attached to the agenda item. There was additional information on the following:

● Member Long noted the discussion focused on tonight’s agenda items, including the debt issuance, student fee schedule, the amended budget, and audit services.

● Audit RFP - was pressure tested at the committee meeting. Lauterbach & Amen (approved at this meeting) audits a number of our comparable districts and is well-known.

Board Human Resources/Policy Committee

The Board Human Resources/Policy Committee met on March 3, 2025. The meeting notes were attached to the agenda item. There was additional information on the following:

The latter item included an overview of the process thus far, noting student and staff surveys and presentations to CAC. Currently, input is being reviewed with some building administrators to understand their perspectives. Pleased with all of the different avenues of feedback and appreciate all who have contributed.

● Will we continue at the same pace and trajectory in light of what is going on from a legislative standpoint? The plan is to continue at the same pace as planned.

● Are we planning to conduct a survey of the parents in the district? At the committee meeting, it was noted that a recommendation would be brought to the Board in April.
