2. Public Comment

2.1 Each Person will be provided five (5) minutes to speak before the Board of Education Julie Lam, Assistant Principal of Oswego East High School, read a statement to the board on behalf of Stacy Sajder, Teacher at OEHS. Ms. Sajder stated that she taught online consumer education, both for evening school and during this past summer. Every semester, online learning improves on the district as well as on the student side. I am grateful that the district is offering online learning programs to prepare the students for the collegiate version.

Kenneth Blue thanked Mr. Bauman for his service as the Board of Education President. Mr. Blue also commented that he did not understand why the district needs a Communications Director. Mr. Blue stated that having tablets for each student would be very beneficial, but the cost is high. He is wondering if the district could have a pool of devices to use for students and if they could bring their own tablets from home as well. The problem arises that if the district does not own the devices, the district has no control over what sites are being accessed. Mr. Blue would like for the district to conduct some more research on this subject.

3. Comments/Reports

3.1 Board Member Updates

Mrs. Doyle invited the board and the community to attend the 50th Birthday Celebration for Long Beach Elementary School on Friday, October 6, 2017.

Mr. Moyer stated that she attended the districts convocation on August 14, 2017. Much work goes into this event and it provided a great start to the school year for all staff. Mrs. Moyer also thanked administration and staff for making the first day of school special for our students. Mrs. Moyer asked for us to visit the idea of implementing Kindergarten Round-up again in the coming years. The feedback from some parents suggests that it was helpful to ease some anxiety about starting school for Kindergarten students and parents.

Mrs. Morgan thank the teaching staff for everything they do for our students and Mr. Ploger thanked the transportation staff for transporting the students safely.

Mr. Lightfoot stated that he attended a Village Board meeting where the impact fees were discussed.

3.2 Board Committee Reports

• Finance and Operations

Mrs. Doyle stated that much of what was discussed during the Finance meeting was also on the board agenda for this evening. There was a pretty clear direction from the committee as far as the direction the board should take regarding the Bond Resolution. With the budget, the main concern is that we stick to the budget without going into a deficit.

Mr. Lightfoot commented that managers of the surrounding communities could be invited to the meetings so that we can provide a better understanding of the complex financial issues the district is dealing with.

3.3 Superintendent’s Report

Dr. Sparlin commented that the district had a great start to the 2017-18 school year. Dr. Sparlin had the opportunity to ride the bus on the first day and to read a book at an all school assembly. Friday evening Dr. Sparlin attended Panther Fest and the Blue and Silver Bash at the high schools. Both were fun family events to kick off the new school year.

Mr. Ploger commented regarding the issues with home access for parents to see their kids teachers assignments. Mr. Ploger was wondering if it’s possible to go back to posting class lists on the doors. Dr. Smith stated this would allow parents to see all classmates and that it promotes many calls for changes for personal preference reasons.

Dr. Sparlin stated that this issue would be discussed at lengths with his leadership team to look at all option to ensure this would not happen again. Dr. Smith informed the board that the system needed to be rebooted.

Mr. Bauman arrived at 7:27 p.m.

4. Approve Consent Agenda

5. Information Only

5.1 Financial Statements

The board had no questions on the Financial Statements

5.2 Summer School Update

Dr. Sparlin introduced Jamie Max, Casey O’Connell, Danielle Lee and Julie Lam as the presenters of the Summer School Update.

The high school program was coordinated by Julie Lam, the junior high program by Danielle Lee and the elementary program by Casey O’Connell.

Our high school program offers credit-bearing courses, with some of them being initial credit classes, credit recovery classes and enrichment courses.

The team offered an overview of each program, illustrating the growth and success over the past three years. For high school, the table showed the total student enrollment as well as how many students earned initial credit, credit recovery, dual credit and enrichment.

For junior high, the table illustrated the number of students for credit recovery, honors preparatory, enrichment and total courses taken (2 courses at the most). The elementary table showed the total courses taken and it was split up by core and enrichment. The team provided an overview of the structural changes over the last three years as well as next steps to expand/improve the program.

Mrs. Morgan asked what efforts were made during the school year to reduce the number of credit recovery students during summer school. Mr. Max answered that if a student had been given the tools during the year, if they were in a success lab, if they were in a credit recovery class and they found it to be difficult to gain the knowledge that they were lacking, than summer school would be the next step. Summer school would then provide them with many safety nets and supports that would provide them with confidence for the coming school year. Mr. Max stated that during the school year, there is an effort to have many conversations with parents as soon as a student is in danger of failing. The team intervenes and tries to provide the supports needed and provides the information about summer school when needed.

For all five of our Jr. High Schools combined, only 70 students needed the credit recovery. The complete presentation on the Summer School Update as well as the audio recording can be found at the following link: https://www.boarddocs.com/il/oswego308/Board.nsf/Public

5.3 Discussion of Impact Fees

On August 15, 2017, the Oswego Village Board voted to reduce the impact fees for townhomes, apartments and condos by 45% across the board for all taxing bodies, The impact fee is reduced from $4,429.25 to $2,436. Currently there are two townhome developers that are interested in building in Oswego. The imposition of development impact fees are a function of the Village, not the School District. With this reduction in impact fees, potential additional multi-family developers will be interested in building in Oswego. The Village is encouraging economic growth which will also be supporting the existing and planned retail establishments. The district is currently facing a lack of state funding, projected deficits and future financial uncertainties. However, due to decreased impact fees from these potential developments, our challenges may further grow from increased enrollment and education cost.

Karin McCarthy-Lange, Oswego Village Trustee, addressed the board regarding the recent decision from the Village Board on reducing the Impact Fees. She wanted the board and the public to know some of the discussion that took place at the Village Board meeting before the vote was taken. In 2015, a study was conducted to compare Oswego’s overall impact fees to our surrounding communities. Even with lowering the rate by 45%, Oswego still has the highest impact fees. Mrs. McCarthy- Lange suggested that the district look at the contributing impact fees from all communities, not just Oswego. Ashcroft and Southbury proposed a development of 372 units combined. This would provide the district with approximately $900,000 in addition to the property taxes. The Village is planning to update a study in order to have a more realistic number of students that would attend our schools from the proposed developments.

Mrs. McCarthy-Lange commented that at the Village Board meeting it was stated that Churchill did not pay any impact fees which is not correct. Each home paid $576 in school impact fees and the developer also donated 38 acres of land. The Village of Oswego is supportive of a growth philosophy. The Village Board believes, that even with lower impact fees, they are still providing SD308 with sufficient funds for planned growth. It is hard to predict what that growth will look like, but the Village is planning on issuing about 200 permits per year. Mr. Ploger stated that growth needs to include businesses as well in order to solve the financial issues of the Village and the District. Mr. Lightfoot stated that 87% of the taxes paid into our district, comes from homeowners, whereas in Naperville that number is closer to 55% and in Plainfield approximately 70%. We are also losing the Caterpillar Plant and the tax revenue that we received from there now gets shifted to the homeowners as well.

Mrs. Doyle asked why the Village took a vote on this item before the school board had a chance to discuss it. Mrs. McCarthy-Lange stated that their board had the understanding that the Village Administration discussed this with the District. Dr. Sparlin commented that he informed the Village Administration that this would be discussed at today’s Board of Education meeting and to delay a vote until after the board meeting.

Mrs. McCarthy-Lange stressed that the District needed to discuss this with the other communities as well, that it was not just an Oswego problem.

Mr. Bauman suggested that the two boards could work on such decisions collaboratively, even though the Village is not required to do so. Mr. Bauman remembered that an Intergovernmental meeting was held with the two boards a couple of years ago to discuss the Morris Development. The importance of adding more Industry to Oswego is evident to all. Our board members would like to have had a chance to prepare a statement and be part of the discussion before the Village took a vote. Our district will have some dialogue on this subject with all of our contributing towns as well as Legislators. Mr. Dada was concerned with more developments coming, the need for new schools would arise and he stated that at this time, the cost of an Elementary building is around $20 million.

5.4 East View Facility Remodeling Bid Results

Mr. Barr informed the board that six contractors submitted a bid for the East View Facility remodeling. The lowest bidder is LJ Dodd Construction with a base bid of $355,000. The original budget for this project was $1,273,800. The bids reflect reduction in the scope of the project due to the purchase of a new Transition Program facility.

• There is minimum work to be done in the classrooms

• Flexible space in the four areas will be closed back in

• Secure doors will be added in the hallway to separate the Opportunity and GOAL program

• The commons will be turned back into a gymnasium

• DAC staff will be moved out of Old Traughber so there is a need to create a Tech space and room for the Ricoh Copy center.

Ms. Morgan was asking regarding the long term vision of the East View Center to make sure that changes made would stay that way for a while. Mr. Lightfoot was asking why the copy center would not be moved to the Gear Box on Stonehill Drive. Dr. Sparlin informed him that the facility would still be used for the Robotics program, they were simply expanding and using some space at OEHS after Registration moves back to DAC. Dr. Sparlin clarified that the Robotics program using OEHS classroom space was a temporary solution, that eventually that space would be needed as a classroom. The Robotics program is not a credit class, but it supports hundreds of students. Dr. Sparlin explained that the Facilities Committee recommended this plan and the board approved it.

Mr. Bauman stated that originally Kindergarten students where at the East View Center because there was no other place to have the program, that it was not intended to be a permanent solution.

5.5 FY18 Tentative Budget Presentation

Mr. Dada presented a School Finance Introduction that briefly explained the Levy Process, the Property Tax Extension Limitation Law and the EAV, CPI and Tax Rate. He also explained what is included in the State and Federal Revenue we receive and the Expenditures and Operating costs. The revenues are not keeping up with our expenditures. We receive no funds from the State until a new funding formula is approved. 83% of our expenses are tied to salaries and benefits. The Budget must be approved by the Board of Education within 90 days of fiscal year end (9/30/17). A certified copy must be filed with the county clerk within 30 days of adoption. It is also filed electronically with ISBE and posted on the SD308 website.

Mr. Ploger stated that the State of Illinois is underfunding school and on top of that, our district is missing $21.5 million in General State Aid. The only recourse a district has is to cut or to raise taxes.

Next, the board was provided with a presentation of the budget. Mr. Dada explained our revenue sources and our expenditures. Mr. Ploger asked what percentage of the $30 million in benefits was for health insurance. Mr. Dada estimated that it would be approximately 50%.

The total revenue for the year 2017 was $191 million and the total expenditures approximately $193 million. The beginning fund balance was $26.6 million which leaves us with a deficit of approximately $2 million.

The total revenue for the budget year 2018 is expected to be $195 million and we are expecting an expenditure of $197 million which would leave us with a deficit of approximately $2 million. If we receive additional funds from the State, then we should be able to finish with a balanced budget. At this time Mr. Dada is going under the assumption that the categorical payments will be made on time. Dr. Sparlin stated that the district will start to look at where cuts can be made, especially once we know for sure what we can expect from the State.

Mrs. Doyle asked that the district is working on all options and presents the board with a comprehensive list of where cuts can be made. Mr. Dada stated that as soon as the State makes a decision on the funding, he will be able to provide the board with projections for the coming years. Mr. Bauman commented that it is crucial to reduce as much as possible since we are not able to rely on the State. Mr. Lightfoot stated that he will not be able to vote on an unbalanced budget and he would like to see some options before the adoption of the budget. Mr. Ploger said that all need to be aware that the cuts will impact the education of our students at some point. The district has been working on selling the Old Traughber building and if that happens, that would mean a balanced budget for FY18. The YMCA will hopefully make their decision within the next couple of weeks on whether or not they wish to purchase the building. The YMCA is the districts first choice because it would keep the Senior Citizen Center in that building and if at all possible, we do not want to displace that program. The future of the Senior Center could be a topic to discuss at the next Intergovernmental meeting as well.

5.6 Levy Presentation

Mr. Dada presented the board with the levy information. The 2017 tax levy represents a 4.83% increase over the prior year extension of $94,907,864. Out of the 4.83%, 2.1% represents the CPI (Consumer Price Index) and the remaining 2.73% is an estimate based on the new construction of $50 million. Historically new construction has been around $15 million. Since the new construction amount is not known at the time of levy, we are overestimating the new construction at $50 million to make sure we capture all the dollars from the new construction if there is an unforeseen increase in the EAV due to new construction.

The 2017 levy is the amount the District has requested. The final amount the district will collect (extension) is done in March or April of 2018. This final figure is then collected in two parts; half in the fiscal year ending June 30, 2018 and the other half in September, which is fiscal year 2019. Adoption of the tax levy request is a required step in the tax levy process.

In the spring of 2018, when final equalized assessed valuation and new construction figures are known, the county clerks’ offices will determine tax rates and extensions of the taxes levied within the constraints of the school district’s tax rate limitations and the Property Tax Extension Limitation Law (PTELL). The four funds that District 308 levies in that are subject to the limitations are Education, O & M, Working Cash and Special Ed.

The final levy will be presented on September 25th along with the budget.

Mr. Lightfoot stated that he would be more comfortable voting for a levy that only levies for new property. We are discussing refinancing bond and interest which will already potentially cause an increase in taxes. Mr. Dada explained that if we only levy for new construction, the deficit would be $2.1 million and it would be cumulative. In other words, in four years, that would be an additional $8million in cuts that would need to be made. Mr. Dada stated that one of the reasons we are in this position, is because in the past the levy was frozen and that cost the district over 10 years almost $14 million. Mr. Ploger reiterated that not only did we get short changed with our GSA, but the previous board decided to freeze taxes as well, which in part leaves us with the deficit we are dealing with now. Mr. Lightfoot clarified that at the time the board made the decision to freeze taxes, the revenues the district was to receive were higher than the projected operating expenses based on the budget presented to the board at that time. Mr. Ploger mentioned the additional sales tax as an option for the district to look at, mainly to pay off debt. Mr. Bauman stated that it would be helpful for the board to be presented with a 3-5 year projected budget opposed to one year. Mr. Dada stated that this was one of the district’s goals, to have a sustainable long term plan.

6. Action Items

6.1 Approval of Bills for Payment

A motion was made by Mr. Jared Ploger, second by Mr. Matt Buaman, to authorize the payment of bills in the amount of twelve million, six hundred eleven thousand, seven hundred seventy-six dollars and seventy-five cents (12,611,776.75)

Final Resolution: Motion Carried 7-0

Aye: Mr. Brad Banks, Mr. Matt Bauman, Mrs. Lauri Doyle, Mr. Brent Lightfoot, Ms. Toni Morgan, Mrs. Heather Moyer, Mr. Jared Ploger

6.2 Resolution providing for the issue of not to exceed $27,000,000.00 General Obligation Refunding School Bonds, Series 2017B, of the District for the purpose of refunding certain outstanding bonds of the District, providing for the levy of a direct annual tax to pay the principal and interest on said bonds and authorizing the sale of said bonds to the purchaser thereof.

Mr. Bob Lewis from PMA informed the board that due to the State not having a funding formula, the market to sell bonds is not very good at this time. Mr. Lewis gave the board a quick overview of the different options and the cost to the taxpayers. The Bond Resolution is the final action required of the Board of Education to authorize the issuance of the Bonds. The Bond Resolution, among other things, authorizes the issuance of the Bonds, provides for the levy of taxes to pay the principal and interest on the Bonds, and delegates to certain designated representatives of the District the authority to sell the Bonds so authorized at a future date. Such authority to sell the Bonds is limited by certain parameters set forth in the Bond Resolution. The Bond Resolution includes parameters governing the manner of sale (between negotiated, competitive or private placement), the maximum amount of the Bonds to be issued, the length of the bond issue, the maximum rate of interest on the Bonds, the minimum sale price for the Bonds, and the maximum tax to be levied in each year for the payment of the Bonds, among others.

The parameter on the maximum maturity is set forth as follows: “The Bonds shall become due and payable serially or be subject to mandatory redemption (subject to prior redemption as hereinafter described) on October 1 of each of the years (not later than October 1, [2023][2031][2036]). In addition, three separate levy schedules are presented with the final levy being either 2022, 2030 or 2035 to correspond with the maximum maturity. The Board will select the date and the levy schedule that corresponds to the Version of the restructuring plan chosen. For version 3 the date is 2023, Version 2 is 2031 and Version 1 is 2036.

Mr. Lightfoot stated that the majority of the Finance Committee is in favor of version 3, because it pays down faster. We also need to consider that for some members in our community, the tax increase of approximately $100 the first two years could cause a hardship. Mrs. Doyle stated that the board needs to balance between taxes going up and the district paying down the debt. The first opportunity to sell the bonds would be October 1st and interest would be charged for the number of days past the call date.

A motion was made by Mr. Jared Ploger, second by Mr. Matt Bauman, to adopt a Resolution providing for the issue of not to exceed $27,000,000 General Obligation Refunding School Bonds, Series 2017B, of the District for the purpose of refunding certain outstanding bonds of the District, providing for the levy of a direct annual tax to pay the principal and interest on said bonds and authorizing the sale of said bonds to the purchaser thereof. The Bonds shall become due and payable serially or be subject to mandatory redemption (subject to prior redemption as hereinafter described) on October 1 of each of the years (not later than October 1, 2023)
