The District 64 Board of Education held a regular meeting on Thursday, October 17th in the Hendee Rooms at the Jefferson Early Childhood Center. You can watch or listen to a meeting replay on our YouTube page.
Principals Appreciation Month
October is National Principals Month, and we want to recognize this fantastic group of educators. “We are very fortunate to have people that are really dedicated towards our staff and all of our students and our community members to ensure that our buildings and everything happening in them are always of the highest caliber,” said Superintendent Dr. Ben Collins. “I just cannot say enough wonderful, glowing things about our eight building leaders and our assistant principals, too, and all the things that they do at our schools. It’s a really, really, really hard job. We are the lucky ones to have the service that they provide for us, and there’s no way that we can ever thank you enough for the job that you do.”
Financial Projections Discussion
Chief School Business Official Dr. Adam Parisi discussed the District's financial projections over the next five years. Scenarios examining the District’s fund balance projections considered factors like whether the referendum would pass in November or if it was unsuccessful.
You can view Dr. Parisi’s presentation here on our website. Also, his presentation starts here during the stream of the Board meeting. This topic contains many nuances, so we recommend that you watch the presentation to understand the context around each scenario.
Superintendent Update
The District’s current Strategic Plan runs through 2026. In preparation for creating a new one, Dr. Collins researched and analyzed various strategic plans from other school districts to understand common elements and best practices. When putting together a strategic plan, a point of emphasis is having clear, measurable outcomes that can drive the District’s work rather than just broad goals. The next steps include the Board and Cabinet team participating in a workshop in January to discuss the strategic plan process further. Then, in the spring, the District will work on the initial steps for a design process for a new strategic plan with the goal of the new plan beginning in the 2026-2027 school year.
