Superintendent Schuricht's Report:
• Project Updates:
Project: The asbestos removal at Moulton is completed. More tile was determined to be non friable, but no expense was added. West hallway is finished with tile installation.
• Auditorium: Painting is completed! Floor is next. It looks pretty sharp in there right now.
• High School Roof: Chimney is gone and temporarily covered. Tuck pointing should be completed by the Board meeting. I will have a couple quotes for capping the roof.
• End of Year Balances:
FY20 Final Balances Summary
FY20 Initial Budget Summary
FY19 Final Balances Summary
All fund balances ended up better than the initial budget suggested. The initial budget projected a deficit of $552,681. The end of year balances show a surplus of $1,083,132.08. We received more money than anticipated for Special Ed and the increase from EBF to the Ed fund. The district did not have as many costs for O&M, and Transportation (fuel) due to COVID. I also attached the FY 19 Final Balances Summary for your comparison.

Transition Plan - A rough draft of the return to in-person instruction for the 2020-2021 school year. This plan implements the requirements according to IDPH and ISBE. Hopefully, we will have an opinion letter from our attorney before our meeting. This will help us in our discussion on how to proceed. I want to stress that this is a rough draft. Please let me know any questions you may have about the draft.
If the district needs remote learning for certain medically challenged students, or for other reasons, this could be a possible solution for a semester. It would be pricey but it would enable us to still provide education to students without putting an undue burden on the teachers.
