The presenter said ANIVE has connected to Infinite Campus, NCAS and MAP data and is working to add ACT and DIBELS. The executive dashboard allows users to view enrollment by building and grade, track student groups, compare year‑over‑year enrollment, and drill into assessment proficiency and contribution analysis across school, grade, ethnicity and free‑and‑reduced status.

Why it matters: staff said the dashboard will shorten the time required to desegregate data and identify intervention groups, supporting continuous improvement work and targeted MTSS strategies. Principals and counselors will receive dashboards that allow further drilldown to individual students; teacher dashboards are planned last and the full rollout is expected in the fall, staff said.

Curriculum work: staff also reported that preschool, K–12 social studies and K–12 English learner curriculum committees have completed stage‑2 material review this school year. Committees created rubrics and have been evaluating vendor materials; staff plan Zoom follow‑ups with vendors in March and to bring material adoption proposals to the board at the April working session.

Staff cautioned that the ANIVE dashboard is in pilot and data may still require validation. The district said it will continue to ingest additional data sources and refine KPIs and success criteria before full deployment.

The presenter said that while the district’s budget authority (the limit on how much property‑tax‑based authority it may request) increases, generating the funds to match that authority may require raising property taxes because state aid decreased. Staff asked the board to begin considering levy/authority decisions as part of the upcoming budget schedule.

On managed print services, the board heard a formal recommendation following a request for proposals. The district is currently contracted with Access Systems at roughly $4,599 per month; the presenter said that overages this last year totaled about $17,000. Staff recommended switching to EECS under a 60‑month contract with an estimated monthly cost of $3,600, lower per‑copy overage rates (color: 2.5¢, black‑and‑white: 0.25¢) and credits if printing falls below estimates. Access Systems will remove existing equipment and EECS will install new machines if the district proceeds.

Why it matters: the state aid reduction and higher budget‑authority figures affect the district’s revenue picture and may influence decisions on property tax levies, the capital project timeline and program budgets. The managed‑print recommendation could reduce monthly printing costs and overage exposure but returned to the board as information pending final contract approval.

Staff said they will bring more detailed components of the state‑aid formula and comparisons to a working meeting so the board can evaluate the causes of the change and options for the 2025–26 budget.

Dr. McDowell said Idea Bank would design campaign strategy, create marketing materials, run social media and handle donor follow‑up and acknowledgments. The proposal presented to the board estimated a campaign cost between $16,050 and $25,000 depending on the level of social media, print and mailing services requested.

Board members discussed the value of professional fundraising support versus volunteer solicitation. One board member said past volunteer‑only campaigns were “not very effective,” and that professional support could improve success. The motion to accept the estimate was made by Board Member Scott, seconded by Greg Holman; a roll call recorded yes votes and the motion carried.

Why it matters: the district has building‑fund resources to complete Phase 1 work but is seeking outside fundraising to accelerate later elements (for example, scoreboard or turf). Idea Bank would coordinate fundraising activity through the CPS Foundation so donors would give to the foundation for channeling to the district.

Next steps: staff said Idea Bank would begin work after the board’s approval and coordinate with the CPS Foundation on campaign structure and materials. The board did not approve a guaranteed contract amount beyond the estimate; the final scope and cost will depend on campaign choices and materials requested.

Board members approved the $1.6 million contract so Mammoth can place long‑lead orders, the district presenter said. The board’s motion to approve the contract was made by Board Member Greg Holman and seconded by Board Member Vince; a roll call later recorded all present voting “yes” and the motion carried.

The contract covers supply, installation and construction of the listed components. The presenter told the board that lead times for bleachers are five to six months, creating urgency to order. The scoreboard was not part of the approved contract; the presenter said the district is still working to raise roughly $379,000 for a ScoreVision scoreboard and recommended holding off on that purchase while drainage and other site issues are resolved.

Why it matters: approving the Phase 1 contract allows long‑lead items to be ordered so work can begin while the district finalizes additional site work and budget decisions. District staff and Mammoth representatives told the board that the work will make the facility usable for junior varsity, reserve and middle‑school contests but may not be ready for varsity competition until additional phases (turf, full parking, other amenities) are completed.

Board and contractor discussion focused on outstanding site issues. District staff and Mammoth representatives reported they are awaiting a drainage study for runoff from the adjacent hillside; options under consideration include modifying detention basins, adding a basin on the west side of the road to provide clay for the hillside, or creating riprap/check‑dam features to slow water flow. The presenter said the city raised concerns about traffic and neighborhood light spill; Mammoth (and Musco for lighting) will provide light‑distribution renderings and hooding to minimize off‑field illumination.

Cost questions: the presenter described why the project cost differs from earlier estimates. The scoreboard and electrical work tied to lighting account for much of the variance: Musco’s original lighting bid cited about $300,000 for fixtures without electrical work, while the district’s current line item includes electrical installation. The presenter said a functional scoreboard could be procured for about $100,000, but the district is advocating a ScoreVision unit similar to what local schools use and will continue fundraising efforts.

Project scope and timeline: the approved contract funds the press box, bleachers, slab and sidewalks; additional work — retaining wall behind the bleachers, drainage fixes and the gravel parking lot — remain to be scoped and priced. The presenter said Mammoth is pursuing local vendors for dirt work to keep costs near earlier master‑plan estimates. If the drainage study reveals higher costs, staff said the district would return to the board for further direction.

The board was told approving Phase 1 now should yield a usable facility for lower‑level competition next year, although field maintenance and traffic management will require ongoing attention. Mammoth representatives and district staff were present to answer questions before the motion was offered and approved.

Other procedural votes: the board recorded roll‑call approvals for previously mentioned motions (see separate articles for the Phase 1 construction contract and the Idea Bank estimate). The meeting concluded with a motion to adjourn, also moved by Greg Holman and seconded by Vince; roll call recorded yes votes and the meeting was adjourned.

Why it matters: updating official signatories ensures the district’s bank and grant paperwork reflect current authorized staff; the adjournment is the formal end of the meeting.
