Board of Education Regular Meeting Principal Report: Eric Bohm

Acknowledgements: We held our annual Veterans Day Ceremony on November 11 in the auditorium. Our guest speaker was Sean Donnelan, who served in the US Army. Sean did a great job talking about the mistakes he has made during his life and how students should learn from his mistakes. He did an excellent job telling the human side of being in the military, which was appreciated. As always, the students did a fantastic job being respectful during the assembly. Staff Acknowledgements : Several faculty and staff members have spearheaded an opportunity for the PTHS staff to deliver Thanksgiving meals to our students who would otherwise go without. This year, the volunteers will be delivering approximately 25 meals to students and their families on November 25. We appreciate the efforts of all the faculty and staff who make this opportunity happen for our families. School Improvement / Curriculum Updates : We are currently working through the Cognia Review process. I have been working with the Leadership Team members to conduct a self-reflection and provide evidence for the ratings. We will be conducting surveys and seeking additional input from stakeholders (including the Board of Education) as we work through the several steps involved in the process.

Student Acknowledgements: We are pleased to share our November Student of the Month winners!

Kaydence Flansburg - PTHS - Criminal Justice II Liam Reilly - PTHS - Work Study

Both Kaydence & Liam have excelled in their programs, exhibiting the LACC Core Expectations every day. They are both fantastic models for their peers and we are proud to have them in our programs. Congratulations!

Staff Acknowledgements: I am recommending Kurt Frischman for the Computer Networking & Maintenance Instructor starting in August of 2026. He comes with vast knowledge in the field and a passion for the content. Student Opportunities: EKG Certification - On Saturday, 3 students from the first Medical Assisting class at LACC tested for the National Association for Health Professionals EKG Technician certification. The students completed the 200 question test and all passed! Other students are preparing to test November 22, 2025. Dual credit summary FY25 – Heartland Community College has provided a summary for the 2024-2025 school year. These documents are included. In FY25 we had 215 seats totaling $3,785,176 saved. This does not account for the course offered through Joliet Junior College. A full list of the FY26 Certificates, Certification and Dual Credit. FY26 Certification/Dual Credit Excited to add Foundations of Education to the Dual Credit list. School Improvement / Curriculum Updates: Aviation Course – I am excited to share that after a year, I have everything in place to run an Aviation course in partnership with D14 and the Pontiac Airport for FY26. Below is some specific information for the program. A summary includes: If students take two years (junior and senior year) they will have each received the hourly equivalent of $30,000 worth of ground instruction from a flight school CFI and have done so with a STEM curriculum they can reference on college applications.  Students will have prepared and can earn their endorsements for their Private pilot and/ or part 107 Remote pilot written tests. Both tests required for each pathway and will give the students a head start on their path should they attend a flight school or drone program. Community Connections: We are near completion of our house build and are excited to host an Open House on December 10, 2025 from 4-6 p.m. A flyer is below and will be sent out to the students that worked on the project and to the public. Notes of Interest: On October 30, 2025, we hosted our annual Career Fair for 300 freshmen from across the county. The event was a tremendous success, thanks to the participation of 34 business partners and all 16 LACC programs. Students had the opportunity to explore a wide range of career possibilities through hands-on activities, pathway information, and industry engagement. The fair highlighted the importance of college and career readiness by connecting students to trade schools, community colleges, and local employers — helping them gain real-world insights, discover their interests, and envision their future paths. Participants included:  D14 would be a contract company providing the instruction.  The class will be held at the airport.  Tuition would cover the cost of the enrollment. 

LACC Aviation Program FAQs

D14 Aviation Program

● D14 accelerated training program that takes zero time aspiring pilots and gives them a direct path to begin their career as commercial pilots.

What curriculum will the program follow?

● The Aviation Program will use the AOPA Foundation High School Aviation STEM Curriculum for Juniors and Seniors.

● Juniors will receive in depth knowledge of Aviation Weather, Airspace, and Flight Planning

● Seniors will receive in depth knowledge of Instrument Flight, Advanced Aircraft, and The Future of Aerospace.

● The curriculum is a stepping stone D14 Pilot Training Program. Students who participate will have an advantage in their knowledge moving from the LACC aviation program to the Pilot Training Program. Who will provide the instruction to the students? ● Who is eligible to teach the curriculum is up to the program's leadership to decide based on applicable state teacher certification requirements for the specific academic program in which the courses will be taught. ● The lessons are turnkey, and include highly detailed lesson plans and PowerPoint presentations that give teachers everything they need to implement successful instruction. ● AOPA provides teacher training and access to multiple online professional development resources FREE OF CHARGE to assist teachers in increasing their aviation knowledge and skills. *D14 would remain involved in the course instruction and can provide Certified Flight Instructors (CFIs) and CFIs who have received a degree in education or the CTE equivalent license if required.

LACC Aviation Program

What will a student gain through completion of this program? ● The curriculum satisfies the requirements to be used as part of credit-bearing course offerings and Career and technical centers across the country use the curriculum as approved CTE pathways. ● Completion of the program will allow students to receive a certificate stating the individual has satisfactorily completed the course and demonstrated they are qualified to take the Private Pilot Airmen Knowledge Exam (PAR Exam which is the first requirement in obtaining a Private Pilots License. ● The inherent benefit of the program is students will be provided workforce success preparation while obtaining a fundamental knowledge base of aviation, as well as an opportunity to build career skills and explore career opportunities in the aviation industry. What are some potential barriers students may face to work in the aviation industry? ● Cost of training. Upon completion of the program there are various avenues a student can take to build their flight time and experience, which our program will offer avenues to in partnership with various major air carriers and operations. There are also opportunities for employment for qualifying CFI candidates. ● Medical Factors. All pilots must obtain a 3rd class medical to begin their training, a second class medical to fly commercially, and a 1st class medical to operate under an airline transport pilot rating which is a requirement for airlines and a majority of major charter operations. All of these medicals are obtained through visiting an aeromedical examiner. ● Disqualifying factors range from certain medical complications such as mental health issues, the use of certain prescribed medications, to uncorrected vision. The FAA lists all disqualifying factors and will work with individuals to potentially still obtain a medical given they can demonstrate any concerns will not risk safety of flight operations.

If the cost of training is expensive, what does the profitability of a career look like? How much of a demand is there currently for pilots?

● There has been an ongoing pilot shortage due to retirement in recent years. In May 2023, the median annual wage for pilots was $219,140, with some pilots working for major airlines earning over $700,000 per year. According to FLYING Magazine, a commercial pilot's total career earnings could surpass $13 million by age 65. Airline employees may also receive a wide variety of benefits including healthcare, 401k, and retirement plans. ● Mandatory Retirement in the Airlines: The FAA prohibits airlines from employing pilots over the age of 65, and estimates show that mandatory retirements will peak in 2025–2026. ● Industry growth: The Airbus Global Market Forecast predicts that worldwide passenger traffic will increase by about 4% each year over the next 20 years. Boeing estimates that there will be a demand for 649,000 new pilots worldwide between 2024 and 2042 ● The demand for pilots will greatly outstrip supply over the next decade. According to their 2022 estimates, the US market will likely have a shortage of nearly 30,000 pilots by 2030. Regional airlines are likely to be the hardest hit. ● Regional Airlines such as Frontier, Go-Jet, and Envoy have been offering $120,000 sign on bonuses to new pilots and salaries ranging from $90,000 - $120,000. The same companies also offer training repayment options. What if a student goes through this program and decides they do not want to be a pilot or is medically disqualified to fly? ● Aviation is not restricted to those who fly. A student may discover through this training that while they might not want to fly, that there are many opportunities to work in the industry. Air traffic controller, Airframe and Powerplant mechanic, Aviation marketing, Aerospace engineer, and Aircraft Management are just a few of the opportunities a student could realize their interest in and develop a passion for as they go through this program. ● Students who are medically disqualified will be given resources on how to apply for waivers for certain medical conditions potentially allowing them to still become a pilot. Where can the course be taught? ● We have the opportunity with LACC to host students at the local airport and we will exhaust all efforts to do the same for any school with an airport within a 30 minute drive to transport students. Airports are the preferred setting for a class like this to highlight the career paths and build excitement. Contact information

AOPA Curriculum ● The AOPA STEM curriculum is based on 50 min classes. It is because of this structure we can combine two semesters of education into one semester. Junior Year ● Semester one will teach the 9th grade curriculum “Launching into Aviation” and “Exploring Aviation and Aerospace”. ● Semester two will teach 10th grade curriculum “introduction to Flight” and “Aircraft Systems and Performance”.

Senior Year Senior year will expand on fundamental knowledge juniors received. This will not discriminate any seniors as first year LACC aviation students. Aviation topics regularly circle back to the basics, and we will take the time to ensure success of both first- and second year aviation students joining us for their senior year. ● First semester will contain the 11th grade curriculum with two major topics “The Flying Environment” and “Flight Planning” This First semester will prepare students to take both the FAA Private Pilot Written Exam, and the FAA part 107 Remote Pilot Written Exam. ● Second semester will contain the 12th grade curriculum which students having previously prepared in first semester for their written tests, this semester will explore advanced aviation topics and career options. Students will gather information and prepare a capstone project to finish the program.

What do students gain from this course.

● Students will have each received the hourly equivalent of $30,000 worth of ground instruction from a flight school CFI and have done so with a STEM curriculum they can reference on college applications. ● Students who participate in the program in its entirety will have an advanced understanding of the fundamentals of aviation and aerospace. This will be a significant advantage in any future path in aviation in the air and on the ground. ● Students will have prepared and can earn their endorsements for their Private pilot and/ or part 107 Remote pilot written tests. Both tests required for each pathway and will give the students a head start on their path should they attend a flight school or drone program. ● Students will also have a direct entry pathway D14 Aviation Pilot training program. As well as a path to any part 107 Drone Pilot career.

Why do we call it the million-dollar career?

Our Band, Choir, and FFA did a great job of recognizing the veterans amongst our faculty and those that joined us for the assembly. We are always very proud of how respectful our student body is during the Veterans Day assembly.

PTHS student athletes had a successful fall season and represented our school very well. We look forward to winter athletics.

Staff Acknowledgements:

Thank you to our teachers that chaperoned the freshmen on their career fair trip. That always runs smoothly because they plan it out very well.

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

Facilities Updates:

Hardware/Software Updates:

• Hardware Spotlight: Eight new iPads were purchased for the racks in the new weight room. Students use these during PE to track their weightlifting workouts using the PLT4M app. The iPads are rack-mounted during the day and stored overnight in a lockable charging cabinet. For more information on PLT4M, click here. • Software Spotlight: The Pear Deck software license was renewed for the English Department. Jen Babb and McKenna Haab use it collaboratively as teacher and co-teacher, presenting lessons simultaneously on both of their Newline Interactive boards. This tool enhances student engagement, supports diverse learning styles, enables formative assessment, and provides real-time feedback. For more information on Pear Deck, click here.

Staff Professional Development:

• I will be participating in Skyward’s Virtual User Group Conference from December 8–11, 2025. My focus will be on Qmlative sessions, and I plan to invite faculty/staff to join sessions that align with their roles in using Skyward. • Kelly Carter, Daria Robinson, Kelly Fogarty, and I attended the Skyward User Group Conference in Tinley Park on October 29–30. The conference was valuable, especially in learning about the new Qmlative software. We heard firsthand from current users about their migration experiences and gained insights into its functionality. Other Points of Emphasis: • We play an essential role in administering online standardized testing for several of our feeder schools. This includes preparing devices, conducting tests, and providing technical support for the Pre-ACT, which the Guidance Department uses for course requests and 9th-grade placement. This year’s Pre-ACT Online Testing was held onsite on October 29 th . • The incoming 9th-grade class data import file is ready for upload into Skyward. Data was collected from our seven feeder schools, and I will be uploading information for 163 incoming students .

2025 Resolutions Committee Report

For the 2025 Delegate Assembly on Saturday, November 22, 2025 SEPTEMBER 2025

September 2025

IASB School Board Members and Administrators,

This 2025 Resolutions Committee Report outlines proposals to be acted upon at the annual meeting of the IASB Delegate Assembly on Saturday, November 22, 2025, in Chicago. Through the Resolutions Process and Delegate Assembly, IASB member districts provide critical direction for IASB to represent member interests before state and national policymakers. Every member school district is entitled to one voting delegate at the Delegate Assembly. Your board should nominate a primary delegate to represent your school board and an alternate delegate, in the event the primary delegate becomes unable to attend. Once your board chooses a primary delegate, your district’s roster manager should register him/her online with IASB in advance of the Delegate Assembly. The alternate delegate does not need to be registered unless the primary delegate becomes unavailable. If the primary delegate becomes unable to attend on-site at the Joint Annual Conference, the alternate delegate can be registered at the Info Center during Conference hours on Friday or in front of the Delegate Assembly location on Saturday. This year delegates will vote on IASB Constitutional Amendments, the election of IASB officers, and whether to adopt a proposed resolution to become an IASB Position Statement. I want to highlight that 10 IASB Constitutional Amendments are being proposed this year. The Constitution Review Committee, made up of 14 Illinois school board members and IASB leaders, proposed these amendments. All 10 Constitutional Amendments received a “Do Adopt” recommendation from the IASB Board of Directors on June 7, 2025. I want to recognize and extend IASB’s appreciation to the Constitution Review Committee for their time and effort on this work over the past year. Please discuss with your board the topics that will come before the Delegate Assembly for action to prepare your district’s delegate to vote on behalf of your board. To guide these efforts, three documents are included in this report: Guidance for Discussing IASB Constitutional Amendments, Guidance for Discussing IASB Resolutions, and Local School Board Delegate Direction. I hope these pages serve as a valuable resource for your school board in preparing for this discussion. We look forward to our work together in November.

Tracie Sayre, IASB Resolutions Chair and Vice President

3. Article IV, Elections: Section 1, Nominations 4. Article IV, Elections: Section 2, Terms of Office 5. Article V, Board of Directors: Section 2, Composition 6.

Item 1

In January 2025, the President of the IASB Board of Directors appointed 14 members from across Illinois to serve on the Constitution Review Committee. The Constitution Review Committee includes members of the Board of Directors, the Resolutions Committee, and Members-at-Large. The Constitution Review Committee recommended 19 proposed changes to the IASB Constitution, which have been compressed into 10 items. These 10 items will be presented as a consent agenda at the Delegate Assembly. Two of those consent agenda items, Article II and Article IX, are presented collectively as “REWRITTEN” Articles. The remaining eight consent agenda items are presented as individual amendments to various Sections of the IASB Constitution Articles. All 10 proposed constitutional amendments received a “Do Adopt” recommendation from the IASB Board of Directors on June 7, 2025. When the constitutional amendments are presented to the Delegate Assembly, they will be put forth on a consent agenda. Delegates will have the opportunity to remove individual constitutional amendments from the consent agenda for discussion on the floor about that constitutional amendment. All constitutional amendments not removed from the consent agenda will be voted on as the consent agenda. All constitutional amendments removed from the consent agenda will be voted on individually. The crossed-out portion of the proposed constitutional amendment is the proposed deletion to the IASB Constitution, and the underlined portion is the proposed amendment to the IASB Constitution.

ARTICLE II. MEMBERSHIP

Section 1. Classes of Membership Membership in the Association shall be of five classes: Active, Affiliate, Associate, Honorary, and Service Associate. All classes of membership, unless otherwise stated herein, shall be eligible for membership upon written application to the Executive Director of the Association and payment of annual dues. For all classes of membership, unless otherwise stated herein, the Board of Directors shall determine the amount of dues and membership privileges entitled to each class of membership, except that no class of membership other than Active Members shall be entitled to hold elective office or be entitled to membership in the Delegate Assembly. Section 2. Active Member The board of education of any legally organized school district in Illinois shall be eligible to be an Active Member. A board of education may become an Active Member upon written application to the Executive Director of the Association and the payment of annual dues. Section 3. Affiliate Member The governing board of any educational service agency authorized by the School Code or Vocational Educational Act of Illinois, or an educational service agency whose members include multiple local school districts, other than a board of education of a legally organized school district, shall be eligible to become an Affiliate Member upon written

application to the Executive Director and the payment of annual dues. The Board of Directors shall determine the amount of dues and the membership privileges of Affiliate Members, except that the Board of Directors may not grant the privilege of holding elective office or membership in the Delegate Assembly. Section 4. Associate Member Any former member of an Illinois board of education shall be eligible to be an Associate Member upon written application to the Executive Director and the payment of annual dues. The Board of Directors shall determine the membership privileges of Associate Members, except that the Board of Directors may not grant the privilege of holding elective office. Section 5. Honorary Member Any individual who has rendered distinguished service to public education in Illinois or to the Association shall be eligible for election by the Board of Directors as an Honorary Member without payment of dues. The Honorary Members shall be entitled to such privileges as the Board of Directors may determine, except that they may not grant the privilege of holding elective office. Section 6. Service Associate Member Any person, firm, or corporation which provides services or products to school districts may be eligible to be a Service Associate Member; provided, however, upon written application to the Executive Director, approval by the Board of Directors shall approve Service Associate Members., and the payment of annual dues. Service Associate Members shall be entitled to such privileges, except holding elective office, as the Board may determine. These Service Associate Members may name one member as a Special Director to the Board, who shall be without vote. Constitution Review Committee’s Rationale for REWRITTEN - Article II: Membership 1. The rewrite removes redundant language from Sections 2-6 and consolidates that language into Section 1 without substantially changing the meaning. By doing so, it clarifies what language applies uniformly to each class of membership and highlights the differences between classes of membership specified in Sections 2-6. 2. The rewrite specifies that only Active Members shall be allowed to participate in Delegate Assembly, which aligns with current practice. 3. An additional change was proposed to Section 3 to clarify that Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs can be Affiliate Members. CTE programs are similar to special education cooperatives which are authorized by the School Code and are eligible to become Affiliate Members, so adding programs authorized under the Vocational Education Act is

in line with current practice. Additionally, these programs support our member districts’ students. In addition, Regional Offices of Education and Intermediate Service Centers, for example, are organized under the School Code and have been and remain eligible to become Affiliate Members under the IASB Constituion. 4. An additional change was proposed to Section 6 to clarify that the Board of Directors shall approve Service Associate members, which is in line with current practice. The Board of Directors recommends DO ADOPT. Item 2 ARTICLE III. DELEGATE ASSEMBLY AND ANNUAL CONFERENCE Section 2. Delegate Assembly At least once each year, at a time and place determined by the Board of Directors, there shall be a meeting of the Delegate Assembly. One meeting shall be designated as the Annual Meeting of the Association. Each Active Member shall be entitled to one voting delegate at any meeting of the Delegate Assembly or any adjourned meeting thereof. Each Active Member shall select its delegate and alternate from its own membership. Voting shall be done in person by the respective delegate or alternate., or by any means recommended by the Resolutions Committee and approved by the Board of Directors. Constitution Review Committee’s Rationale for Article III: Delegate Assembly and Annual Conference - Section 2, Delegate Assembly 1. Before making a substantial change to the IASB Constitution that would allow for email voting, as was originally proposed, more information about voting processes must be collected and more information about alternate voting methods must be collected and studied. Concerns to be addressed with email voting included: • The importance and power of IASB membership gathering once a year in person to discuss educa tional issues; and • The negative impact email voting could have on Delegate Assembly attendance. 2. To collect that information, IASB staff will: • Investigate hybrid voting platforms and their im plementation feasibility; • Survey the more than 200 IASB board member districts identified as attending the 2024 Joint Annual Confer ence, but not attending the 2024 Delegate Assembly;
