• La Tonya Mouzon, Director of Student Services
As the school year ends many aspects of the Students Services Department’s work are being wrapped up. For the past two years the district has worked with ISBE, Loyola University, and the University of Illinois Springfield in the area of discipline equity. That work included participating in Loyola University’s School Discipline Reform Certificate program where there was an emphasis on antiracism, implicit bias, restorative practices, and alternatives to suspension. Leah Hooper, Robyn Davis, and I were able to complete the two year certificate program this Spring. Staff participated in Empathic instruction professional development where staff mindset toward discipline was the focus.
The McKinney-Vento Homeless Act also guides a portion of Student Services work. This year we have been able to assist families in several ways. Those ways include providing cleaning products, referrals to community resources, transportation assistance, temporary housing assistance, clothing, and most recently we were able to take over 100 of our students to Shoe Carnival to shop for new shoes. We continue to hold high expectations for behavior and attendance, which can be challenging at this time of the school year. As we end the year, each school is having celebrations to acknowledge the hard work and efforts of their students in both areas.
At Parrish School they had bubbles and beach balls this past Friday. They will have their big play day to include structured play games (potato sack races, ring toss, and limbo, just to name a few) and a Star kiss MTSS celebrations tomorrow. They will serve Dairy Queen Star Kiss ice cream from 1:50-2:10 if you would like to join them for a treat. Pre-K will have their play day/structured games and Star Kiss celebration and there will be a school awards assembly celebration where they will acknowledge attendance on Tuesday to round out the school year.
Thomas School will have a water day on Tuesday. The day will be filled with indoor and outdoor activities. Those activities will include a slip and slide, obstacle course, hoops/shoot, and many more. They will also have delicious ice cream treats from the ice truck! Student attendance and behavior accomplishments will be acknowledged through a special awards edition of Tiger Talk. The students will also receive certificates for their efforts.
Lewis school completed its SEL REACH training. They had two community members and one parent serve on their school-based team. Through this work an action plan for addressing SEL was completed that will be implemented next school year. Community engagement activities included a Dinosaur Island event within the school and a poetry slam at Campus Lake. Lewis school hosted an 8th grade celebration day where they acknowledged the rising 9th graders. Just today Mr. Patrick, a retired teacher came in to continue the tradition of hosting a pancake breakfast. Attendance and behavior will also be acknowledged with certificates. Lewis School has celebrated school spirit all week. They had pajama day, twin day, future day, mismatch day, and school spirit day will be tomorrow. Next Tuesday they will have an end of the year MTSS inflatable fun day.
At CMS, last week the 8th graders participated in several activities including a barbeque, an adventure at Giant City Park, and roller skating in Marion. Tomorrow the 6th and 7th grade students will have a day of celebrating as they will hold their school carnival tomorrow. Also Zero Hero Tardy tickets will be provided to all students who were on time to every class, every day. They will receive a soda and a candy bar during the school carnival.
The City of Carbondale has also partnered with each of the schools by donating various snacks and sweet treats for the students to enjoy during their end of the year activities. Finally, as you know, I have been working with the District’s Staff Engagement committee to celebrate and recognize staff. Next Wednesday we will have our first staff fun day celebration.
• Brooke Kensler, Director of Special Education
In the Special Education department over the last month, we have focused on transitions for our students that are changing buildings and that graduated and are moving on to CCHS. We had transition meetings for all of our 8th graders in which the high school attended as well as the students and parents to ensure that they had all the support for them as they start as freshman.
We also had meetings and discussions for our students transitioning to a new building to discuss any special support and to give the new case manager ideas and tips to best support them.
At Parrish one of the identified needs has been supporting students with the skills to regulate their emotions and regulate their behaviors so we have a team that is meeting and working on a Calming/Refocusing room. This team is currently working on setting up a room that will provide a calm environment and is equipped with the space and materials to work on those self regulation skills.
Health Services
I spoke last time regarding our partnership with Shawnee and since then we have been able to have them attend our Kindergarten registration days and were able to schedule appointments on the spot for the physicals and immunizations.
I also shared that we will have mobile health clinics available for our staff and students. The current plan is to have the mobile clinic one day at CMS next year and one day at Thomas. We will then continue to expand to full 5 days the following school year. We will use the mobile clinic for the first time on June 1st at Parrish school. They will focus that day on completing physicals for the Kindergartners that signed up as well as any sports physicals that may be needed.
• Michelle Martin, Director of Data Reporting and Programs
Ms. Martin gave an overview of the following items on the agenda for Board approval:
Consolidated District Plan - The Illinois State Board of Education requires all districts to complete a set of planning questions to meet the requirements for all twelve of the federal formula grants for the fiscal year 2024. This is the fifth year for these new requirements for grant planning. A copy of the plan was enclosed in the board member packet to review prior to approval.
K-5 Science - The curriculum office, in collaboration with the K-5 Science Curriculum Team, performed an extensive curriculum review during the school year. The curriculum team reviewed materials from a variety of publishers. The team selected three science curriculums for further review. The team then met with a representative from the companies to further review these curriculums. After this extensive review, the K-5 science curriculum team made the decision to select HMH Into Science curriculum. The district will be working with HMH to provide professional development on this new curriculum. Mrs. Martin shared this selection with the Faculty Council during a meeting held on Thursday, May 18, 2023. This purchase includes the print and digital resources for both teacher and students for six years. It also includes hands-on material kits.
6-8 Science - The curriculum office, in collaboration with middle school science teachers, performed an extensive curriculum review during the school year. The team reviewed materials from a variety of publishers. After this extensive review, the science teachers made the decision to stay with McGraw-Hill Inspire Science which is currently being used in 6th grade science. The district will be working with McGraw-Hill to provide professional development on this curriculum. Mrs. Martin shared this selection with the Faculty Council during a meeting held on Thursday, May 18, 2023. This purchase includes the print and digital resources for both teacher and students. McGraw-Hill does offer science kits that will be reviewed by the middle school science teachers for possible purchase at a later date.
Renaissance Learning - CES #95 has used STAR 360 as an assessment tool in the district for many years. The cost of the tool is always paid through the Title I grant. This cost is above the $25,000 threshold, therefore requires board approval. Again, this year, the company has combined multiple Renaissance products with our STAR 360 subscription to allow for the district to apply a discount. I am requesting that the board approve the combined quote for all four products of Star 360, Lalilo, Freckle, Schoolzilla. These subscriptions have been bundled to allow the district to take advantage of a discount.
Summer Learning
Summer Learning K-5 will focus on reading & math. Summer learning at CMS will focus on credit recovery.
Parrish Enrollment - 55
Thomas Enrollment - 42
Lewis Enrollment - 25
Still working on a list of students that need to attend credit recovery at CMS.
Star Assessment Update
Students have completed the Star Assessment Spring Benchmark testing and a summary of these results are included in your packet. I will share these scores in greater detail during the June board meeting.
6.32 Chief School Business Official – Janiece Blake
Tonight’s meeting includes a few items for your consideration related to contracts and some that are statutorily required.
The first item that I am going to discuss is the Robinson Transport contract extension. Robinson presented a two-year extension that includes rate increases of almost 20% over 2 years for regular routes, and 23.4% for special routes. Also included are increases in the per hour charge for monitors and mileage for extracurricular trips. These rate increases are similar to those seen by other districts who also use Robinson for transportation services. The effect of this rate increase will result in approximately $575,000 in additional expenditures over the next couple of years. Currently the district only sees around a 65% reimbursement from the state for transportation services. Some of the transportation is currently being paid for with ESSER funding, however it’s set to expire in September of ’24. The recommendation is to approve the contract extension for the two-year period.
Similarly, the district’s cleaning service agreement with ABBCO has been on one-year extension for several years now. This one-year proposal includes an increase of 8.6% at a monthly cost of $47,388. The increase is a reflection of the Illinois incremental minimum wage increase. Next fiscal year, I will be asking the board to approve going out for bid for cleaning services. I just think with the number of years since the original contract, and the needs of the buildings having changed over the years, its time to open a bid process to better align expectations for cleaning services.
Also, included in tonight’s board agenda is an item to repay an interfund loan that was approved last August. Working cash loaned the Education Fund $2m, and it must be repaid by the end of the fiscal year.
The district’s amended budget has been included in tonight’s board packet as well due to state statute requiring the amended budget to be on display for 30 days prior to its adoption. Generally, there isn’t a need to amend a budget unless actual expenditures are going to exceed adopted budget expenditures. Presently there are 3 funds whose expenditures have exceeded the original budgeted amount.
The transportation fund budgeted costs were lower than what has been incurred this year. Also contributing to this is an increase in fuel costs.
The capital projects fund has additional expense due to the security camera installations at Parrish, Thomas, and Lewis, as well as the solar panel project. We did close on the funding issue May 3rd, so we have received the funds to begin the solar project. We’ve made essentially what’s considered the down payment to get the project going, and those dollars must be accounted for in this fiscal year’s budget.
The tort fund expenditures increased as a result of legal fees over the year. As some of the board is aware, we spent a significant amount of time on collective bargaining this year, and as a result, incurred additional costs for those services.
The amended budget approval is tentatively set for the June board meeting.

6.4 Faculty Council - Amber Ragsdale
The end of the school year is here, and we are all more than ready to move on to summer!
I want to begin on a positive note with a message from a Faculty Council Member: The 8th grade field trips went well. We took the students to Giant City for a picnic and outdoor games and a trip to the skating rink. The team would like to thank Mrs. Ross and her staff for the warm reception her building gave the promoting 8th grade students, and we would also like to thank
Sherry Wyatt and her awesome cafeteria staff for preparing the lunches for our trips.
The Faculty Council met with Michelle Martin last week to discuss the curriculum decisions made by the Science, Math, and Health teams. The council agreed that the selections were appropriate and provided a foundation for student success in these content areas. Hopefully with the decisions being made now, the needed materials will be delivered prior to the start of the school year for teacher review.
