New Business Discussion of the 2016-17 Illinois Physical Fitness Assessment
results- Amanda Woodruff shared the results of this State mandated assessment. This assessment is given to Illinois students in grades 3-12. Amanda shared the results for grades 5 and 7. Each grade participated in four tests, the pacer, curl-ups, sit and reach and push ups. D46 students fell into the "healthy fitness zone". The results are in the Board Packet.
Discussion of on-line registration and point of sale (POS)- On-line registration will allow parents to register their children from home using an internet-enabled device. Once registration documents are submitted they will be verified and approved by the schools. This will allow for instant data updates and registration counts. The district will initially offer this option for kindergarten registration and continuing registration. The system will have English and Spanish versions. Down the road the district will offer this feature to new-to-district students. The benefits to the district will be the use of less paper and printing costs, fewer data entry errors, more accurate information from families and an increased rate of completed continuing registration. The cost of implementation is $10,200. Eventually, paired with on-line registration would be point-of-sale (POS). This would allow families to pay fees on line.
Discussion of the Waste Disposal Contract-Chris Bobek explained that the waste disposal contract with Waste Management will expire in August of 2017. The original bid gave the district the option to renew on a yearly basis with Waste Management, upon completion of the original 3-year contract. Waste Management is currently working on a renewal quote for the district. Once it is received it will be provided to the Board. The Board will then need to make a decision whether or not to extend the contract or go out to bid.
