Spanish Honor Society: Co-sponsors Kate Feinstein and Katie Goss accompanied students who each stated their name and grade. Carly Weifar, the club’s social-media manager and a senior, said the club has about 28 members and roughly 25 potential new members for next year. Will Davis, the society’s vice president, said the club meets about twice a month and described plans for World Language Week (the week of March 10), which will include language-themed activities and playing music from featured countries over the high school loudspeakers during passing periods.

Membership criteria: Students described new-member requirements as including coursework through AP Spanish, a minimum grade/GPA in Spanish classes, and a written statement of interest; the presenter clarified that membership requires meeting those criteria rather than merely attending meetings.

Donations acknowledged: The board read and thanked donors who supported Huntley High School programs. Items announced included: Illinois Cheer Association — $4,925 (to In-N-Out account at Huntley High School); Larry’s Bridal Bandana Society — $1,000 (to In-N-Out account); C and D Comfort — $1,500 (to varsity boys basketball); American Consultant — $250; Bell 911 Inc — $250; Illinois General Remodeling Services — $750; Sylvia Capriva — $300; Brookshire, Hathaway and Stark Realty — $500; and Parkside — $2,070 (to Huntley High School wrestling). The board said the In-N-Out account and athletic accounts would be used for school extracurricular needs.

The Spanish Honor Society presentation was brief and intended to highlight student leadership and upcoming cultural activities; no board action was required.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","February 20, 2025 Board of Education Meeting","oneSentenceSummary","Members and sponsors of the Huntley High School Spanish Honor Society introduced themselves to the board and described upcoming World Language Week activities; the board also acknowledged multiple donations to high school programs totaling several thousand dollars.","taxTitle","Huntley Community School District 158, School Boards, Illinois","taxId",38258,"location","Illinois","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6316162,"Assistant superintendent outlines ISBE accountability ‘redesigned roadshow’; cut scores to be set later",331,4335000,4666000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2377484-eff5033753881770bf90fac4cd36ee7b&start=4335&end=4666","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2377484-eff5033753881770bf90fac4cd36ee7b/thumbnail_4335000.jpg","/articles/6316162/Illinois/Assistant-superintendent-outlines-ISBE-accountability-redesigned-roadshow-cut-scores-to-be-set-later","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6316162-d56ae290d1e0ab0440c48fc045f60ce9/orig.mp4?Expires=1776763311&Signature=Pt51WlDklI-YmaNof7MRzmBMd62Tx-1czhp4GWAxztPjOF-CSsZEJsL04C0RZTS4AulDqa0zyD~moc74dKNyaUknJo65TnbbAJObOCGkZMBO8NCWHNhf1dViBRvbf05CfFg3RVO~Kc2pR40sQznCY6f2PBvFZQRbmHTE0yOwxlPK-859DkO5dyY-~JEPpkE73YQIbunG-LJLWMLuj9-dqI7j6mTbpz1YgB5ff8gfpLvVE9OzjDOStw-3lIQjdljKwO9KCSFoYjwk5BCF8GCgziWrElcryJbrIDyE1PGirACOpdzqsJ~9e~lDjrzWAxT17K3HPWhmKNmWndUiMxOh2A__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The assistant superintendent for learning and innovation updated the Huntley Community School District 158 Board of Education on ongoing work by the Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE) to redesign the state accountability system and unify performance-level categories across assessments.

ISBE’s goals and timeline: The assistant superintendent summarized a 55-slide ISBE slide deck describing a push to create a more unified approach to performance-level categories so results are easier to read across different assessments (IAR, ACT/SAT, science tests). The presenter said ISBE will apply new cut scores to this school year’s test results but that the state may not finalize and publish the cut scores until the fall (October), which could create ambiguity when districts receive spring scores earlier in the year.

What the district will see: Administrators said the district will receive raw or scale scores this spring but may not know the official meeting/nonmeeting cut lines immediately; ISBE is expected to approve and release cut scores later in the calendar year and then the state school report card will reflect those decisions (report-card timing typically in late October). The assistant superintendent noted district staff are preparing by modeling possible conversions and correlations between former SAT/PARCC metrics and the ACT/IAR measures to estimate the likely effects on district metrics.

Other items: The assistant superintendent also reminded the board that the district’s 5Essentials survey window is open for grades 4–12 and that completion rates factor into accountability reporting. The board asked whether the cut-score timing would affect the Illinois report card; the assistant superintendent said the district and board will likely see the same information once ISBE finalizes its approvals.

No board action was required; the update was informational and administrators said they will continue to model outcomes and report back once the state publishes final cut scores.","The district’s assistant superintendent for learning and innovation briefed the board on Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE) work to redesign statewide accountability metrics and unify performance-level categories; administrators warned that new cut scores will be applied to current data but may not be known until fall.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6316167,"Huntley 158 reports midyear progress on strategic-plan KPIs; chronic absenteeism declines",996,3310000,4306000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2377484-eff5033753881770bf90fac4cd36ee7b&start=3310&end=4306","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2377484-eff5033753881770bf90fac4cd36ee7b/thumbnail_3310000.jpg","/articles/6316167/Illinois/Huntley-158-reports-midyear-progress-on-strategic-plan-KPIs-chronic-absenteeism-declines","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6316167-a697c6314dd859f301480beca6c8daec/orig.mp4?Expires=1776763311&Signature=mfDTFdpxlqYyq8YIgDYz8--Y-2stur21sVrFHOCIIbEIEwoHCPSxiF3yvqeyKBGV-NPRfQfBsZpqrv20dscO3aIkZBPiaX0n1NdR8kXjc2rV3HkRyjeFUdGZAaHRFe0MXZAfFp2M9E86sE4lFzwamDGrtZEbj8F5NvXJmCAVkA6Qu~N6eeqWlAHjYShBGjtt3UQ~D-eitdUdC4bqUURerJu~4SyK~Xr7PLxNfQQ4AWY6fhzSSSs1kFMVFOKpUB7kN-qGs9mYM4VxSmOHXlkMNJdaAGB2rSPKKxt-Mn5q81wmRCIU9zUwehIUYx-JWLiMUF3QLGAtP8Rg1nZi0Yr1TQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","District administrators told the Huntley Community School District 158 Board of Education that midyear work on the district strategic plan is underway, with several key performance indicators (KPIs) marked as in progress and some showing measurable improvement.

The presentation to the board summarized long-term goals — including college- and career-readiness across all grades and supports for multilingual and special education learners — and highlighted implementation steps in professional development, cross-department data conversations and the district’s math action plan. Administrators said some KPIs are cyclic and will be refined as the strategic planning process continues.

Attendance and retention: Using data pulled from PowerSchool on Feb. 12, administrators reported a chronic absenteeism rate of 16.96% to date, down from 24.12% at the same point last year. The presenter said the figure was collected during the peak of flu season and that the district would provide updated end-of-year data. The district also reported a retention rate of 98.2% (measured through the August 31 snapshot), and noted approximately 8,400 students districtwide when discussing what percentage changes mean in absolute numbers.

School climate and supports: The district said it is surveying students and plans targeted follow-up for students who report not having at least one trusted adult at school. The presenter emphasized efforts to coordinate services for English learners, students with special needs and students needing enrichment so supports are not delivered in silos.

Next steps and engagement: Administrators noted ongoing scheduling and staffing reviews, a guiding-team meeting next week, and community \"vision and voice\" strategic-planning sessions scheduled March 5 at two locations (10 a.m. at the district office and 6 p.m. at Marlowe’s cafeteria). The presenter said the strategic plan remains a work in progress and the board will receive additional presentations in spring as data is finalized.

Questions from board members focused on translating percentage changes into tangible instructional days and student counts so the board can better assess impact; administrators said they will attempt to provide additional data at year end and to triangulate attendance, behavior and achievement in PowerSchool.

The board did not take a formal vote on the KPI update; it was received for discussion and further reporting.","District administrators presented midyear strategic-plan indicators showing progress on several goals, including a drop in chronic absenteeism from 24.12% to 16.96%, a current retention rate of 98.2% and ongoing work on math action plans, staffing reviews and community-driven strategic planning sessions.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":105,"_47":106,"_49":107,"_51":108,"_53":109,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":110,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":111,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6316172,"Huntley Unit 158 board unanimously approves expulsion and placement at regional program",230,5162000,5392000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2377484-eff5033753881770bf90fac4cd36ee7b&start=5162&end=5392","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2377484-eff5033753881770bf90fac4cd36ee7b/thumbnail_5162000.jpg","/articles/6316172/Illinois/Huntley-Unit-158-board-unanimously-approves-expulsion-and-placement-at-regional-program","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6316172-b61d203fceae0d198c513eb196df69e9/orig.mp4?Expires=1776763311&Signature=NCPzgiC4qAwyFirByes1D6AlpGDnnKJoHx0sY-q-sLKzkrxxY5V5Hqx~lx3-rSDQl0ctMllZM-4j1YiiMKqKyf0twRs-ZEspb0VAFCJ3vHSSR74EAL2BWNM1r4vu0I9RtD9PnkWpAG7gawVmRdsROPsl09yBsuorl-YshoLHGMqwXXcxXlePJRlchceTJOG5R851c0kJ~DIuBoK8gHLDPXy0TRGhQ3n~hDMwQ~emlgmSl3E8eogE-5FsyLFZiDcgRHvlWeSwLJU8ReUks8SuozC3r1IaFyYdpZZjTpHIg1yNXqMdlMeAhNFyRBUDdzZQSE8vKMBXkLI5S68QuUsPlw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Huntley Community School District 158 Board of Education voted unanimously to expel student 2025-52 for the remainder of the 2024-25 school year and conditionally place the student at a regional program.

At the board’s regular meeting, a board member moved “that student 2025-52 be expelled, held in abeyance, conditional on acceptance and successful completion at the regional state school Evergreen Academy or another district-approved placement for the remainder of the 2024-25 school year.” Miss Murray seconded the motion. A roll call followed and the motion carried 7-0.

Why it matters: The board’s action places the student under an alternative educational placement rather than immediate removal without an approved plan; the expulsion is contingent on acceptance and successful completion of the program named in the motion. The board recorded the vote by individual board members during the roll call.

Vote record: The roll call recorded the following votes: Mister Calabriano — yes; Mister Craig — yes; Missus Murray — yes; Mister Vivint — yes; Missus Wiley — yes; Mister Thompson — yes; Mister Troy — yes.

Procedural note: The motion names Evergreen Academy as the preferred regional placement and allows for another district-approved placement if necessary. The transcript does not provide details about the offense, prior hearings, or the student’s name; the motion refers to the student only by the case number shown in the meeting record. The board did not state an appeal timeline during the public portion of the meeting.

The board moved on immediately after the roll call and adjourned at the end of the meeting.","The Huntley Community School District 158 Board of Education voted 7-0 to expel student 2025-52 for the remainder of the 2024-25 school year, holding the expulsion in abeyance pending acceptance and successful completion at the regional placement Evergreen Academy or another district-approved program.","actionData","errors"]
