9.2. Superintendent's Report

Public Information:

I would like to express my thanks and gratitude to the board of education for providing me with the opportunity to work with a committed board, leadership team and staff to serve the students of our district. It has been a pleasure and a joy and I believe that together, we have accomplished a lot in the past three years. We have achieved our budget goals, checked off a variety of items from our Facility Priority List, instituted an articulated MTSS system K-12, implemented a new Teacher Performance Framework, updated our technology infrastructure and practices, updated our security and safety systems and practices, increased our leadership capacity through Teacher Leadership Teams, completed a successful School Improvement Review, adopted new ELA curriculum, and completed professional development to enhance our learning work. Most importantly, we are starting to see the positive impact that these aligned efforts will have on student achievement and student learning. I am grateful to have been able to work with a board of education that is committed to improving our educational delivery system and was willing to commit resources, both financial and human, to positively grow our learning community.
Reminder to the board members that the NASB has recently implemented structure changes that include four at-large positions on our Board of Directors and three at-large positions on the Nominating Committee. You should have received an email from Sally Horky with this information and directions on how to nominate yourself.
Peggy and I have been working to combine some of the Activity Accounts and make it a bit cleaner. We have recently consulted with Steve and Deb and will be combining many of the elementary accounts into a single Elementary Fundraising account. All monies that are fundraisers should be managed by the building principal and unifying these under one account creates a more equitable and unified approach to managing raised funds.

9.2.4. Facilities Report

Public Information:

Ceresco Exterior Lights - We are updating and adding exterior lighting at Ceresco. For $9,610, Sentry Lighting will replace the 7 existing HID wallpacks with LED wallpacks, install 7 new LED wallpacks (2 on east, 2 on west, 1 on north, 1 on south), new fixtures will come with lighting circuit and controls. We are getting a price to update the exterior units at Valparaiso to LED from the current halogens which are expensive to replace and not efficient.
Valparaiso Heat Pumps - This week the heat pump unit work at Valparaiso started. The units purchased and being installed are 410 A refrigerant. Jared indicates that they are actually moving to a new phase of refrigerant that will be flammable. That means that the next phases of this three phase project will likely be the new phase of refrigerant.
Reheat Valve - Jared will replace a reheat valve in the air handling unit that serves the wrestling room. The cost from Mechanical Sales to replace that valve is $3,100.
Summer Projects - The custodial staff is busy cleaning and clearing rooms in preparation for carpet. They are also in the process of replacing LED lights in the Jr/Sr campus. Summer maintenance includes painting, replacing toilet lids, deep cleaning, etc.
Wind Damage - The high school experienced wind damage from the storm that blew through last Sunday, June 2, 2024. Our insurance claim adjuster is busy but will get out soon to tell us about next steps.
Asbestos - Unfortunately, we have identified that there is asbestos in some mastic that was found under carpet in the drop in computer lab in the high school. We received a quote from Bockmann Inc. for $6600 to remove 384 sq ft of carpet, floor tile and mastic in the computer room and hallway.
Valparaiso Exterior Lights - We are going to move forward with replacing 11 existing wall packs with LED equivalents, 3 canopy fixtures with LED equivalents, 1 new wall pack by the basketball courts and replace two existing pole heads in west parking lot with LED equivalents for a total cost of $6,615.
