September; data regarding student opportunities and participation will be collected during October and November; and a report on findings and recommendations will be submitted to the Board of Education in December. Bids for safety and security enhancement projects are scheduled to be approved from early to mid- March and these projects are scheduled for completion by September. The proposed life-safety projects will be presented to the Facilities Committee for review in September and to the Board of Education in late October or early November. Approval of bids is planned for early to mid-March, and September of 2019 is the target date for completion of the projects. Surveys of students and teachers will be conducted before and after they move to pilot classrooms from November through January and there will be an analysis of the results in May. The analysis is designed to measure the effect of the new learning space environments as compared to the original classrooms and the impact on student learning. A decision on the start time at GBN will be based on a financial analysis of the current transportation contract and the impact a new transportation agreement would have on grammar school feeder districts. The analysis is projected to be completed by November. The school calendar decision will be based on an all-encompassing survey of the school community to be conducted from mid to late September. An analysis of the data and findings will be presented to the board in late October. Based on the findings, the 2019-20 Dark From Page 3 calendar is scheduled to be adopted by late October and the 2020-21 calendar by May. Discussions on types of evaluations and possible changes within departments to produce greater consistency will continue from September through January, at which time changes are expected to be implemented. The homework initiative is a follow-up to a 2016 baseline survey administered to students and teachers. Another survey will be conducted in November followed by comparative analysis of the 2016-18 results in February and/or March. Several GBN parents express disappointment with golf program Three parents of golfers who were hoping to play for GBN this fall came to the meeting to express their disappointment in the program. Alex Freund said his son, Adam, had his heart set on school,” Tim Mateja said. Carol and Brian Carlson and Martha and Chris Carlos called their team Carl, a combined abbreviation of both their last names. Once nightfall darkened the sky, the teams were all set with light sticks, flashlights, maps and instructions. Catron did the countdown and starting the race. And off the teams ran to meet the challenges of the Hula Hoop Walk, Nut Stacker, River Crossing, A Bit Dicey, Movie Trivia, Marshmallow Shorter, Panty Hose Bowling and Riddles. There were peals of laughter off in the distance and shouts of, “We did it” as teams completed the events. Noah Malina returned saying his favorite was the Hula Hoop Walk. Team Awesome liked the Panty Hose Bowling as did others. And, at each event, teams used their best creativity to complete playing for the Spartans this season, but the senior missed the tryout day because his doctor in mid- July advised him to “take a while off” to recover from a shoulder injury. Alex said Adam notified the coach (Justin Gerbich) of his situation and his expectations of returning to action this month, but received no response and isn’t on the 2018-19 roster. Alan Myers said his sophomore son, Evan, missed the tryout because he was participating in the prestigious pro-am tournament, the Illinois Open, at The Glen Club. According to the father, Evan also informed the coach, but he too has been left off the roster. Alan pointed out that several other area high schools were represented by their golfers in the Illinois Open. Robin O’Regan, who is the father of sophomore golfer Kevin O’Regan, came to the meeting to speak in support of the other two fathers and their sons. the challenge. “There was a lot of hugging going on at the River Crossing,” laughed Blake Van Dergeest. He was talking about participants trying to figure out how to cross the river, which really was grass, on three planks of wood when four people had to do it. Pizza awaited the entire group on their return along with other treats. At the end of the evening, awards were announced and medals were given.
