District 35 Board of Education
Summer school fees increased for 2019-20

There are still about
four months left in the
school year, but the Glencoe
District 35 School
Board approved student
fees for the 2019-2020
school year at its Thursday,
Feb. 7 meeting. The
board voted to keep transportation,
registration and
athletic fees the same,
but increase the summer
school fees.
“The district brings in
about $400,000 in various
fees annually that go
to offset various costs of
the programs that they
support,” Director of Finance
and Operations Jason
Edelheit said. “Fees
don’t pay for any program
in totality. The district
has always subsidized a
portion of that.”
Summer school is currently
charged at a rate of
$175 per class. This fee
will be increased by $5 to
help support an enhanced
registration and payment
platform.
Transportation fees are
$250 one-way (a.m. or
p.m.) and $500 for both
a.m. and p.m.
Athletic fees are $380
for basketball, $225 for
volleyball, $210 for soccer
and $40 for cross
country/track. Registration
fees are $125 for
South School, $106 for
West School, $163 for
fifth grade, $148 for sixth
grade and $192 for seventh
and eighth grade.
There is a $20 discount if
the registration fee is paid
by the end of September.
“These (registration)
fees go to offset consumables,
materials and supplies
to support our education
program,” Edelheit
said.
Summer work
The board also approved
eight contracts
dealing with summer 2019
work at all three schools.
The contracts include:
demolition, electrical,
flooring, general trades,
HVAC, lockers contract,
painting and an acoustical
ceiling and treatment
contract. The total amount
of these eight contracts
combined is $2,025,141.
Last month, the board
also approved a contract
with Gateway Glazing of
St. Charles for districtwide
glazing upgrades
scheduled for summer
2019 in an amount of
$1,231,500.
The total of the eight
contracts approved this
month and the contract
approved last month for
summer 2019 work is
$3,256,641. The total
budget for the summer
2019 work is $4,056,272.
“We’ll be looking to
be hopefully a smidge
under our original budget,”
Edelheit said. “We
are happy with the vendors
and the bids and all
the contractors confirmed
their scope.”
2019 budget
The board also approved
a resolution authorizing
preparation of the fiscal
year 2019 budget at its
Feb. 7 meeting.
Annually, the board is
required to approve this
resolution to direct the administration
to prepare the
budget for the upcoming
school year.
This authorization permits
the administration
and members of the finance
committee to develop
the assumptions
necessary in drafting tentative
documents, as well
as preparation of the final
draft of the budget to be

police reports
18-year-old possesses illegal ammo in Glencoe
Daniel B. Huber, 18, of
Northfield, was arrested for
possession of ammunition
with no valid FOID at 11:07
p.m. Feb. 3 in the 400 block
of Park Avenue. His court
date is March 13.
According to Deputy Chief
of Public Safety Rich Weiner,
the arrest was made after police
found a suspicious, occupied
vehicle. The responding
officer approached the
vehicle and saw the ammo in
plain view. No weapon was
discovered.
In other police news:
Feb. 5
• An unknown offender attempted
to change a victim’s
address via the USPS. The victim
was contacted by USPS to
verify and learned the victim
did not request the change so
the address was not changed.
The victim advised there have
been several other attempts of
fraudulent activity to several
accounts (Verizon, Navy Federal
Credit Union and other
unknown banks), over the
years, but none were successful
and therefore victim failed
to report them.
Feb. 4
• Unknown offenders in a stolen
vehicle fled when signaled
to stop, disobeyed a traffic
control light and stop sign,
and had improper lane usage
at 1:47 a.m. at the intersection
of Green Bay Road and Harbor
Street. The vehicle was
later reported as stolen.
• A victim clicked on a link
to change her CitiBank AAdvantage
account number, but
the link did not work. She
called the number associated
with the link and was asked
to punch in the last four digits
of her account. Then, an automated
request came on asking
for the victim’s social security
number, which was provided.
The victim became suspicious
of the call and hung up. The
victim contacted CitiBank
via the number on the back of
the credit card and confirmed
the number that was initially
called did not belong to CitiBank
and was fraudulent.

BEER
From Page 4
and heart goes into each batch.
“You don’t do this unless you’re
crazy or passionate about something,”
he said in his presentation.
Janzen’s talk often circled back
to the community-centered aspect
of craft beer and how it drives local
economies. He noted how, though
many of the breweries were technically
in competition with each other,
they still prioritized supporting one
another, whether that meant sharing
hops when the supply fell short
or lending equipment when demand
spiked.
He also revealed how the community-minded
brewmasters often contracted
with local producers for ingredients
like honey and cranberries,
hired local architects and builders
for facilities, and provided steady
employment in rural places.
With this inspiration, Janzen also
sought to publish his book as locally
as possible, using paper from
a Wisconsin recycling plant and
binding the leather-bound book at
Reindl Bindery in Germantown.
Janzen’s book comes during a
booming moment for the craft beer
industry; in 2011, Wisconsin had
71 craft breweries, and within seven
years, that number exploded to
160. According to Janzen, a major
factor behind that is “people want
things produced in a way they can
see it.”
Attendees appreciated both Janzen’s
enthusiasm and knowledge of
the industry.
“It was informative and funny. He
knows his beer,” said Patty Gries, of
Northbrook.
“It was fun to be young again
through [Janzen],” said Scott Padiak,
of Glencoe.
When Hayek, the librarian, was
first approached about offering this
presentation, she perked up immediately,
knowing the topic was part of
a big and growing industry.
“This could help push the boundaries
of the library a little bit,”
Hayek said.
Attendees agreed.
“This event shows dynamic thinking
on the part of the library staff,”
Winnetka’s Harry Grace said.
