Staff Acknowledgements: Staff continues to give time on nights and weekends to give students additional opportunities: such as culinary events, weekend pre-school hours and welding time. Student Opportunities: We are excited to share that SkillsUSA preparations are officially underway! This year, we have an impressive group of 52 students who are gearing up for the opportunity to compete. Their first step on this journey is fundraising through raffle ticket sales. Students who sell all of their tickets by the deadline will advance to the next stage — a Qualifying Exam held here at LACC. This exam determines who will move on to compete in person this April. We can’t wait to cheer on our talented students and watch their hard work and dedication shine throughout the competition season! School Improvement / Curriculum Updates: I am excited to be adding additional dual credit opportunities for students next year. They include the following:  Construction Trades: CNST 101 – Construction Materials & Methods (3 credits)  Engineering: CAD 235 – CAD for Construction (3 credits)  EMT: EMT 101 – Emergency Medical Technician (8 credits)  Digital Media: DMED 130 – Media Design Fundamentals (3 credits)  Networking: NETW 167 – Windows Server Administration (3 credits)  Welding: MFTG 115 – Operations Management (3 credits) Here is a complete list: 2026-2027 Certification/Dual Credit List Community Connections: We held our annual Vendor Fair on December 6, 2025. We had some of our programs selling items the students made and had outside vendors participating also. We held our Construction Trades Open House on December 10, 2025.

Alumni News:

Alex Olson

LACC Program Taken: Engineering I & II Graduation Year: 2016 Current Occupation: Structural Engineer How did LACC help prepare you for your current line of work, or career life in general? “The LACC put me ahead of the curve when it came to college coursework. Learning and becoming certified in CAD software was not something others had done in high school. This was the sole reasoning for standing out on resumes and getting internships early. ”

What advice do you have for current LACC students trying to plan for their future? “Get involved in anything you have the slightest interest in. Take that extra class, volunteer a day or two, or join teams/organizations. It will help you learn who you are and where you want to go, or where you don't!”

Staff Acknowledgements:

Thank you to our Guidance department for all the time they’ve spent preparing schedules for our students, as well as our incoming students.

Our teacher have been extremely focused on preparing our students to finish the end of the semester strong, especially our freshmen who have never had to experience what goes into final exams.

School Improvement / Updates:

We are beginning to plan for the summer school courses we will be offering at the conclusion of this school year. We are planning on offering at least one section of Civics, as well as Driver Education. Our Special Education department also will be offering an option for summer school to some of their students.

Board of Education Regular Meeting Technology Report: Amy Krause December 2025

Facilities Updates:

• We improved and replaced the broken network ports in the bleacher area behind the scores table in the gym to ensure better connectivity for streaming and outside media teams. This direct network connection, rather than Wi-Fi, provides consistent high speed performance and reduces the risk of interruptions during events with high demand bandwidth apps. Hardware/Software Updates: • Software Spotlight: Microsoft OneNote - Our Math and Science departments leverage Microsoft OneNote as a powerful digital notebook for organizing lessons, sharing resources, and collaborating in real time. Its ability to integrate handwritten notes, multimedia content, and cloud-based access makes it an essential tool for enhancing interactive learning and keeping materials organized for both teachers and students. For more information on Microsoft OneNote, click here. Staff Acknowledgements: Staff Professional Development: • From December 8–11, 2025, I participated in Skyward’s Virtual User Group Conference, completing 24 sessions focused on the Qmlative student management platform. These sessions provided in-depth training on advanced features and best practices for student data management. In addition, Kelly Fogarty and Lisa Meyer also engaged in multiple sessions, contributing to our team’s understanding of the new software and its functionality. The plan is to move from our current Skyward platform of SMS 2.0 to Qmlative in the next couple of years. Other Points of Emphasis: • Athletic competitions in December require extensive technology resources to ensure smooth and efficient operations. For the Cheerleading Competition, our technology team provided 20 laptops, 2 printers, and delivered a full day of on-site technical support, along with an additional day dedicated to preparation prior to the event. For the Munch Wrestling tournament, we also facilitate access to multiple TVs in the gym and commons areas, supported by a laptop configured for screencasting. The Pontiac Holiday Tournament remains the most demanding athletic event in December for our department. We manage the official tournament website, social media platforms, and the TurboStats software, which serves as the official statistics system. Our support includes deploying multiple laptops and printers, coordinating a dedicated technical team during the tournament, and maintaining a robust network infrastructure to handle real-time data, streaming, casting, and equipment reliability throughout this prestigious tournament. It is a pleasure to assist our Athletic Department in these events. Calendar of Events of Emphasis: • Pontiac Holiday Tournament: December 29, 30, 31

Important Disclaimer

This Levy Calculation Form is a worksheet that allows the District to calculate and analyze the available levy and extension amounts and is prepared for informational purposes only. Reasonable efforts and generally accepted methods of calculation have been incorporated into the spreadsheets. However, PMA Securities, LLC takes no responsibility for the accuracy of the output and it is highly recommended that users verify calculations independently. The data input, projections, and assumptions provided in this form are based on the information provided by the District. PMA will not verify the accuracy of the data provided by the District and is not responsible for any inaccuracies or incompleteness that appears in the data provided in this form. Furthermore, the Levy Calculation Form includes a copy of the Illinois State Board of Education Certificate of Tax Levy which is approved for use in 2006. PMA believes this Levy Calculation Form to be current, but the District should verify that with the Illinois State Board of Education.

Please read the "Discalimer" worksheet. Use of this workbook represents acceptance of the terms of the Disclaimer. PMA Levy Worksheet Instructions Please note that you need to start on the “Input” worksheet and then go to the “Calculations” worksheet and then finally print the “Certificate of Tax Levy and the Explanation” worksheet” at the end. INPUT worksheet Start on this worksheet. Enter the information requested in the green boxes. The majority of the information can be found on your most recent tax extension from your county clerk(s). You will need to estimate your current EAV and new construction value (if you are tax capped). Make sure the totals at the bottom of the “Input” worksheet equal your most recent tax extension. CALCULATIONS worksheet You only have access to enter information in the green boxes. Use the Levy Amount $ and/or Levy Increase % Input columns to adjust your levy, if needed. Typically, you would enter a number that is larger than the estimated extension column to make sure you capture all available funds. Any number entered in either of these columns will override and/or increase the estimated extension column. Non-tax capped districts must enter a levy value for the Municipal Retirement, Social Security, and Tort funds in the Levy Amount $ column. Enter a dollar amount to be levied for SEDOL (Lake County only) and Bond & Interest in the appropriate box. The Levy Amount column on the far right is what will carry over to the Certificate of Tax Levy worksheet. If Capped, review the box labeled Levy Amount Below/Above Estimated Extension. This is your “cushion”. This number should not be negative. If Non-Capped, all levy amounts should exceed estimated maximum extension. Use the percentages at the bottom right for your truth in taxation notice, if applicable. TAX CALCULATOR - Calculations You only have access to enter information in the green boxes. This calculator is based off the data in the “Calculations” worksheet. The calculator allows for debt service abatement scenarios to offset the operating increase. The worksheet will highlight if the abatement amount exceeds the actual debt service levy. The calculator assumes the example home value increases by the overall reassessment rate. Variations in residential re-assessments, and between property classifications will cause an individual home’s value to vary from the computed estimate. EXTENSIONS worksheet

You only have access to enter information in the green boxes. If applicable, input the County Loss %. For “what-if” scenario analysis, please input a percentage change in Existing EAV and a New Property amount to sensitivity test the proposed levy for variations in EAV assumptions. The “Extensions” worksheet will highlight in pink if you should consider changing the inputs on the “Calculations” worksheet to possibly prevent an under levy outcome. When the actual data is received in the spring, insert the actual percentage change in EAV and the actual new property. If permitted by the county(ies), you may use cells L18-L28 to reallocate the extension between funds so long as the adjusted amounts do not exceed the levy for the fund. Insert the actual Bond and Interest extension into cell I35 and the actual SEDOL extension (Lake County only) into cell I33. TAX CALCULATOR - Extensions You only have access to enter information in the green boxes. This calculator is based off the data in the “Extensions” worksheet. This calculator allows the user to estimate the taxpayer impact for what-if scenarios for variations in EAV assumptions, and also the estimated impact based on the final extension information. For “what-if” taxpayer impact calculations, insert the B&I levy (without loss cost or abatement) into cell I35 and the SEDOL levy (Lake County only) into cell I33 into the “Extensions” worksheet. Note, once the actual Bond & Interest extension is known and input on the "Extension" tab in cell I35, no input is needed for the Loss Cost and Abatement cells. The calculator assumes the example home value increases by the overall reassessment rate. Variations in residential re-assessments, and between property classifications will cause an individual home’s value to vary from the computed estimate. Certificate of Tax Levy worksheet Print this page. All data on this worksheet comes from the “Input” or “Calculations” worksheets. Enter the day and month in cells B45 and D45.
