Motion carried.

A Public Hearing on the FY16 Amended Budget was held as part of the

General Board of Education Meeting.

Justin Miller, Assistant Superintendent, presented on the following:

• Handed out the FY16 Amended Budget. The top sheet includes the

Budget as it was approved back in September 2015. The accompany

sheets are the amendments.

• All expenses are detailed by fund. Includes June payroll and all other

expenses up until this morning. The balance is listed for each fund at

the bottom.

• Revenue estimated to be received for this month is between $325,000

to $350,000. This is a particularly low amount compared to last year.

• Estimated deficit this year is about $600,000 to $700,000.

• Some of the revenue expected for FY17 will be delayed due to

pending allocations from the State.

• As we continue to operate on a cash basis, some funding is not

accounted for until cash is received.

• Funding currently being held includes E-Rate and school security

funding.

• Forecasting for FY17 and FY18 budgets will be difficult as funding

continues to be delayed.

• Mr. Miller stressed that the District must be as fiscally efficient as

possible in moving forward.

3. Public Comments –John Major

Ms. Margaret Nesbitt: “Good evening. I just want to say I’m back, and I thank you all

so much for the years of service for the I Can Read Program. I have learned,

experienced, and accepted that our children’s {…inaudible.}. But then you find that

{…inaudible…} you need someone that ought to help, and I have found that

somebody this past year {…inaudible.}.”

Mr. Edward Benyas: “I can’t hear you.”

Ms. Nesbitt: “Oh, sorry. I said that when we’ve found that we’re needing financial help,

you need people who are really concerned to help the children. And this year I found

that out with some of the staff from District 95 who reached out to enhance the

program I Can Read, and it is as much appreciated as the financial help from the

Board. So tonight, I have a young lady that was introduced to us from Dr. Elizabeth

Lewin who runs our Summer program, and she is such an outstanding person, that

we couldn’t believe someone could come in and take over a program and it works.

She has a Doctorate from SIU in the May graduation. And she was willing to come in

to help this Summer—the staff as far as I Can Read is kind of… was kind of

wondering if we were going to make it, and this young lady came in with the help of

some of your staff. We have one week left in this Summer program and we’re looking

forward to coming back in the Fall with new growth. New growth, working with the

Board, working with the Superintendent to do some things that can be done, not

financially, but just help the best that we can. And I hope you know that we appreciate

3

over the years that you have helped. I ran over the years across a lot of people that

need financial support that {…inaudible…}. So I would like for Dr. Moore to come

forward and tell a little bit about her experience this June with I Can Read Program,

and also I like to give out—someone in the I Can Read program made copies of

this—to pass out to each Board member to see {….inaudible…}”.

Mrs. Erinn Murphy, Board Secretary: “Excuse me. How many—how many students

have been participating this Summer?”

Ms. Nesbitt: “This Summer I think we have 30 grade school students. Day-to-day its

around that park {…inaudible…} So we may have 25 today, 30 the next day, 14 the

next day {…inaudible…}”

Mrs. Murphy: “Thank you.”

Ms. Nesbitt: “Dr. Moore.”

Dr. Maya Moore: “Well, with I Can Read we currently had the Summer Camp

Program and each staff, half which were, half weren’t, currently working with District

95 in some capacity. As it’s been said, I was personally recruited by Dr. Elizabeth

Lewin. She has been a big instrumental part of the program in terms of working out

the coordinated testing and things like that, but the actual staff from District 95—I

don’t know what I would do without them. I came in and kind of used some of the

current schedule that had been used before with the curriculum. I came in with an

idea of more of a social emotional learning foundation with students, which went really

well, and I was thankful in that staff already knew or were familiar with using those

tools. Social emotional learning and how to integrate that with writing and reading

enrichments. So the experiences so far have been absolutely amazing, and it’s truly

been amazing working with the kids. Especially a group of kids who are just like

sponges. It’s K through 5, so kids at that age are just absorbing and absorbing. And

especially in this specific area that we work in—actually to be specific I’m from Los

Angeles, California, and so I’m a fish out of water in a major way. In Carbondale in

general. This is kind of foreign to me. Especially in that specific area the kids really

got receptive to how to overcome learning obstacles, what type of emotional

hindrances come up, and how that can actually impede actual academic learning and

cognitive learning. So, in District 95 the teachers have been amazing, administrators

have been amazing in facilitating that and being kind of in the trenches with the

students. So we thank you for grooming the great group of teachers that I have

worked with so far.”

Mrs. Murphy: “Can you just state your name again?”

Dr. Moore: “Maya Moore.”

Mrs. Murphy: “And are you staying? Are you here until the Summer or—“

Dr. Moore: “Well I’ve been here for 3 ½ years and I graduated in May. So I just got my

Doctorate’s at SIU in Cultural Education Program, so I will be leaving in August, but I

was thinking about, since I won’t be too far, coming back and coordinating future

programs for I Can Read. I absolutely fell in love, so we’ll see if I can help out, but it’s

been a great experience.”

Mrs. Murphy: “Thank you.”

Dr. Moore: “Thank you.”

Ms. Jennifer Hartlieb, 3rd Grade Teacher: “Good evening my name is Jennifer

Hartlieb. I’m here representing the Carbondale Education Association and I’m also the

4

Faculty Council President.”

Mr. Benyas: “I can’t hear you.”

Ms. Hartlieb: “Is that better? How about now? Good. I was pleased that many Board

members wanted to speak to me after the May Board meeting about the proposals

approved by the Board that evening. I’m happy to talk with any of you about concerns

that teachers have, however I wonder if these conversations would have been more

productive if they would have taken place before items were voted on, rather than

after the fact. I received input from a past Faculty Council president, and she gave

me the following information which I am going to quote:

‘The Faculty Council was included at every Board meeting. A report from Faculty

Council was a part of every Board agenda, and dialogue was very open between the

Board and the Faculty Council President. I was included in all discussions of the

Board during open part of the meeting, free to ask questions, voice concerns,

etcetera, and the Board members often questioned me. This was especially true

when changes were suggested. Board members always wanted to ensure the ideas

were presented to Faculty Council. Any ideas or presentations to the Board had to

have documented proof that the Faculty Council had heard the recommendation and

needless to say, curriculum changes were almost always smoother, because Faculty

members felt they had a serious, respected voice in the process. We were also lucky

to have Boards, Superintendents, and Curriculum Directors who encouraged our input

and were not threatened by listening to ideas from teachers. On the other side, there

was more respect from the teachers. We still did have our differences, but having

mutual respect was surely a win-win. It became clear when that treating teachers with

respect and professionalism was a positive move for both sides.’

As you aware, the CEA proposal in the Fall which would allow the Faculty Council

President to have more direct involvement in the Board meetings, as was presented

has been passed by us, but the Board denied this proposal. The Collective Bargaining

agreement between the CEA and the CES95 School Board clearly states, ‘The

Faculty Council President shall be the faculty representative at Board meetings

except Executive Session.’ The Collective Bargaining Agreement includes over a

page of language pertaining to Faculty Council. This language extensively describes

the role Faculty Council has in the formulation of policy, procedure, and resolving

academic and instructional issues. Academic instructional issues are those that arise

from the area of programs, textbook adoption, instruction, instructional space, and in

school activities. To the great disappointment of many CES95 teachers, the Board

voted on an entire curriculum and assessment proposal at the last Board meeting.

This vote was taken without the Faculty Council having any input on many parts of

the proposal. In some areas of the proposal, the Faculty Council {.inaudible.} and

were completed disregarded. Until CES95 is willing to treat teachers with respect and

professionalism as described by the previous Faculty Council president I quoted

earlier, teachers will continue to feel unappreciated and seek employment elsewhere.

Increase teacher turnover has been proven to lead to decrease student achievement.

I hope you will all strive to work together to create an environment where teachers not

only seek employment in our District, but feel valued and respected for the

professionals that they are. Doing so will help promote a positive relationship, build

unity, and lead to long-term commitment to CES95. In the end, this is what’s best for

our students and our community. Thank you for your time.”

10. Public Comments – John Major

Mr. Ellis Reed, Carbondale, IL: “Ellis Reed. I like to state that I’m a State and Federal

taxpayer. This is on Old Business. I attended the 5-26 District 95 school board

meeting, and I saw that the Carbondale NAACP President Ed Dorsey give each

school board member a letter stating that ‘the Carbondale, Illinois NAACP calls on the

Board to reconsider the termination of Parrish School Assistant Principal Reverend

Darryl Cox’. My question is did the District 95 school board members, of the board,

reconsider the termination of Parrish School Assistant Principal Darryl Cox?”

Mr. John Major: “Yes, we talked about it.”

Mr. Reed: “And the termination stands?”

Mr. Major: “Yes.”

Mr. Reed: “Second question on the restorative justice—“

Mr. Major: “Can’t hear you. I didn’t hear—you started the question, I didn’t hear you.”

Mr. Reed: “The second question is concerning the restorative justice report that was

given. Carbondale NAACP President Ed Dorsey also gave each member a letter

stating that the Carbondale NAACP cannot support the Carbondale police in schools

program at this time. My question is will the District 95 Carbondale police in

elementary schools program be reinstated Fall 2016.”

Mr. Major: “When we did send a letter to the NAACP talking about each item, so we

13

did respond to that. It has been responded to.”

Mr. Reed: “Will it be reinstated in the Fall? Will the program be reinstated?”

Mr. Major: “No.”

Mr. Pfister: “Yes, we haven’t talked—it has not been proposed to us from the city or

from anybody to reinstate it, so it has not been reinstated. Doesn’t mean it won’t be in

the future, but we haven’t had anybody request that it be reinstated.”

Mr. Reed: “Okay. Thank you.”
