Personnel ECC staff teamed during our November school improvement day to define the areas of concern for the Unit wide PBS plan. Staff brainstormed ideas for teaching children good behavior. Collectively we are already doing much of this work as our building is the beginning of learning about social skills in the world outside of our homes. Teachers created posters to teach school behaviors.

Pupil Personnel Report cards were delivered to parents during our rainy parent conference days. We had 98% attendance by our parents this fall. Teachers followed up on those parents who couldn’t make it.

We had over 30 students begin the four week workshop for Young Rembrandts. Two parents have volunteered to assist. In doing so, they get free tuition. This occurs on Thursdays after school for one hour.

After School Assistance Program (ASAP) begins during the week of November 9.

Staff Recognition Developmental Kindergarten staff, Jill Duffy and Leslie Petersen took advantage of the early release day to have parents come in with their child. The session was filled with parent/child projects. They made play dough and ooblick. Both mediums are good for little hands to manipulate into shapes, letters, and just feeling gooey.

STAFF RECOGNITION * Debbie Kasperski has passed the National Board Professional Teaching Standards for the second time. Congratulation to Debbie on this accomplishment

MONTH IN REVIEW *PSO held their monthly meeting on October 6. Items discussed were the Fall Fundraiser, PSO By- laws, and Santa’s Workshop. PSO also held their Fall Fundraiser Pickup on Thursday, October 22 at 6:30pm at Coal City Elementary School.

*On Wednesday, October 7, CCES staff members participated in a District Staff Development Day. Coal City 2- 5 grade language arts staff members participated in an ISAT Writing Training facilitated by Jan Lenci. The meeting focused on the different components of the ISAT Writing Assessment for 3rd and 5th grade. Other staff members participated in curriculum/assessment development and validation. K-12 Spanish instructors met as a group to discuss the continuing implementation of the K-8 Spanish program. CCES also had a Staff Development Day on Thursday, October 22. CCES teachers on that day conducted formal assessment reviews of the 1st quarter Pearson Benchmark tests and prepared for Parent/Teacher Conferences.

*On October 12, students did not attend school in observation of Columbus Day.

*On October 14, LLT was held at the Coal City Village Hall. Sandy Rakes was the guest speaker on special education and the Response to Intervention Process.

*October 16 marked the end of the 1st quarter. Report cards were sent home with students on October 21. Progress reports were sent home with students on Friday, September 18. *Picture Retake Day for CCES students was held on October 20. 2009 - 2010 Page 93 Coal City Community Unit School District #1 Board of Education Meeting Minutes Monday, November 16, 2009

*On October 20, the CCES RTI team conducted meetings for students in the RTI process. We are working on continually refining the RTI process as we keep moving forward as a building and a district.

*Parent/Teacher Conferences were held on Thursday, October 22 and Friday, October 23. CCES had a great turnout of parents and guardians for P/T Conferences. We had 320 of 329 parents attend a Parent/Teacher Conference. That calculates to 97% of parents attending the Fall Conferences. Just another great indicator of the support we have from our families in the Coal City District.

*On October 29, the Coal City Fire Department conducted a surprise fire drill for the students of CCES. *On Friday, October 30, CCES held their 1st quarter incentive activity for the Positive Behavior System (PBS). Students who earned 90% of their Responsibility, Respect and Safe (RRS) cards were eligible to attend the incentive activity. CCES had 296 students (90% of all students) earn the privilege to attend the activity. I was very pleased with the number of students who earned this and it is a testament to the students and the choices and behaviors they demonstrate on a daily basis. The incentive activity was a Movie Day for students. We had 6 different “theaters” in the building that students could choose to attend. Students also received a treat while they were watching the movies. Once again, the 90% of students attending is a great number and one we will strive to continue to reach for each of our incentives.

*On Friday, October 30, CCES students participated in the annual Halloween Parade. Unfortunately, the weather did not cooperate and the main parade was cancelled. The CCES students did, however, have a small parade around the building so they could see all of the costumes of the 2nd and 3rd grade students. It was very disappointing for the students not to get to do the main parade but the students still enjoyed a great Halloween at CCES. *October is a very busy month with many different activities taking place. Two main activities of the month are Fire Prevention Week and Red Ribbon Week.

FIRE PREVENTION WEEK Fire Prevention Week was October 5 – 9. For Fire Prevention Week, the Coal City Fire Department sponsored many different things for our students.

CCFD also presented a fire safety assembly emphasizing what to do if you have a fire at home or at school. At the assembly, CCES students won smoke detectors for their home. The winners are listed below. The fire department also sponsored a coloring contest for 2nd grade and essay contest for 3rd grade students. Winners of the contest were treated to breakfast at McDonalds with the winners from the ECC and IS (winners are listed below).

OLD BUSINESS

A. DISCUSSION ON HIGH SCHOOL SOFTBALL FIELD PRESSBOX

A proposal to build one press box facility that would include concession areas and washrooms, as well as press box areas for the football and softball fields was reviewed at the October 5 Board Study Session. The Board reviewed the costs associated with the construction of this type of facility at the October 19 Board meeting. A bid of $414,489 was received during the bidding process for the high school addition. This cost is for the structure only and does not include bleachers and paving which would bring the total cost of the press box facility project to about $1 million. Costs comparisons for the construction of a softball press box similar to the press box located on the boys baseball field were reviewed. The Board reviewed three options for this type of press box: pre-cast ($80,000), pre-engineered metal building ($64,000) and wood frame ($27,000). After discussion, the Board generally felt that costs for the three options were more feasible than the press box facility and instructed administration to move ahead in obtaining bid specifications for the project.
