Board members heard a cluster of presentations and recognitions at the Dec. 17 meeting: the FY25 audit was presented by Becca Powell of WIPFLI, Sauk Valley Community College’s IMPACT program was described by Dr. Lori Cortez, and multiple student and teacher awards were announced.
The minutes state that Becca Powell presented the WIPFLI audit report for fiscal year 2025 but do not include detailed findings or adjustments in the text of the minutes. Dr. Cortez highlighted volunteer hours logged by Dixon students through the IMPACT program; the minutes note the number of hours was presented but do not specify the numeric totals. Dixon High School Madrigals performed several songs for the board and guests, and principals announced students and teachers of the month across buildings.
Superintendent Margo Empen and other administrators also provided updates: Mr. Marc Campbell reviewed business items including CPPRT and noted the district had received invoices for bond payments that total roughly $3.5 million to be paid in January. Empen presented two calendar options for 2026–27 and said a recommendation would be made at the January meeting; she also said she will propose a specific deficit reduction plan in January with a board vote expected in February.
The minutes record these items as informational; no votes were taken on the presentations themselves.
