Board Report November 2025

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. 
