The Review March 22, 2016 STERLING

People stand up for their schools Standing room-only crowd addresses board, hears tough choices district faces amid budget crisis BY CHRISTOPHER HEIMERMAN

STERLING – Jim Brotheridge didn’t have to say it. The pain was written on the Sterling school board president’s face as he addressed the standing-room-only crowd at Wednesday’s board meeting in the Sterling High School library. “This is an emotional issue,” Brotheridge said, then paused for a few seconds. “I want to thank you for coming tonight. Sterling is an excellent school district with excellent teachers, and we’re working to help students to become excellent. We all have a hard job to do.” The job the board and administration is tasked with is plugging a projected $800,000 shortfall in the fiscal year 2017 budget. Ten cost-reducing options – from teacher, coach and administration reductions to eliminating program and class sections – were presented. With no extra revenue expected, the absence of a state budget for 2016, let alone 2017, unknown salary increases and an

anticipated 31-percent increase in insurance costs, the district faces a shortfall that is about half of its cash reserves. Superintendent Tad Everett explained why deficit spending is a poor option. From 2011 to 2014, the district spent about $1 million in reserves each year, reducing the balance from $4.7 million to $1.4 million. “Thank goodness we had reserves in fiscal year 11,” Everett said. “Imagine this board meeting if we didn’t have those reserves.” Payroll is about $2 million a month, August through April. “We have less than 30 days of cash on hand in our reserve, with no state budget,” Everett said. “Our job is to protect as many positions as we can.” By state law, the board must decide whom to let go 45 days before the end of the school year. A reduction-in-force hearing will be held March 30, when those decisions are due. None of the 10 options are final and specifics

still are being ironed out, Everett said. Among the options are a partnership with Sauk Valley Community College that would see five of the nine programs students enroll in at Whiteside Area Career Center shifted to Sauk, for a savings of about $50,000. Also proposed is the elimination all Level-3 and -4 foreign language classes. Among three residents who addressed the board was Marla Boynton, representing the foreign language department. “When I walk by the French classroom at our school, I see students plugged in, looking at a screen – not each other – and it saddens me,” Boynton said. “That is not a language-learning, communicative environment.” Restructuring the music program, fifth through 12th grade, is also proposed, and could result in a position being eliminated. Amy Boze, who has kids in band and serves as an accompanist at Challand and Sterling High,

told the board she’s seen the district go from 12 music teachers when she moved to town in 1996 to potentially five in the fall. “You said you’re not cutting choir or madrigals, but you’re eliminating the only vocal specialist that’s left,” Boze said. “I just don’t see how that would be possible.” Also proposed is Sterling High and Challand sharing a bilingual teacher, as well as elementary bilingual restructuring; restructuring Challand’s schedule, making it more of a junior high model; cutting six coaches across all the school’s sports, and eliminating the bass fishing program altogether; reducing expenses of conducting student registration; administrative reductions; and reducing a kindergarten section at Jefferson Elementary School. That section was added for this school year, but a resignation opened a spot that would not be filled if the section were eliminated. “Our elementary class

sizes are at a maximum,” Everett said. “We’re not making reductions at the elementary level. It’s one of our highest priorities.” Everett said he’s putting no stock into the state budget resolution. “They’ve met fewer times this spring than in any spring session in the history of our state,” he said. “They’re not

interested in solving the issue.” That said, Brotheridge offered the crowd a reminder about the lack of a state budget. “Don’t forget to talk to your legislator,” he said. “That’s a biggie. Tell your legislator you want this done, or they don’t get their vote. That might change their mind.”

EDUCATION

Sitting up and taking notice A new kind of seating chart helps improve learning in Morrison BY CHRISTOPHER HEIMERMAN

MORRISON – Northside Elementary School second-grader Maya Decker bounced gleefully on an exercise ball. P.E.? Negative. This is how Chelsea Stuart’s students roll. And sit, bounce, recline and lie down. Maya, 8, was happily rapt as her teacher went over a math worksheet Tuesday afternoon. A few feet away, Aiden wobbled side to side on his wobble-cushion chair, but his eyes didn’t leave his teacher. Meanwhile, Carson White, 7, laid on the floor, his head propped up on his palms as he listened to the lesson. There also are padded seats and enormous bean bag chairs. Stuart said there’s been

a noticeable change in her students’ engagement since her class threw conventional seating out the window. (Note: No furniture was thrown out the window. Lots of tables and chairs are merely in storage.) Part of the reason has to do with kids burning off excess energy. “This class has so much energy, it helps us get it out,” said Jacob Allison, 8, seated on a wobble cushion. “I’m the secondmost energetic kid in the class,” Aiden said. “Jacob’s first.” “I’m third,” said Aiden’s partner, Ryan Peppers. He was seated on a tried-and-true, standard chair. Many of the kids still prefer the classic seating. “Not everyone learns the same,” Stuart said.

The kids have learned that with great comfort comes great responsibility. Aiden was kind enough to demonstrate how not to use the exercise balls. “You can’t just be bouncing out of control,” he said, springing on an imaginary ball. He then laid on his tummy across the chair, to show another unpermitted method. Stuart had read fellow teachers’ blogs and incorporated some of her own ideas to form a sort of hybrid system that she proposed to administration before this school year. Using the nonprofit site donorschoose.com, she was able to buy the creature comforts and swap them in for tables and chairs during winter break.

There’s more to it than where kids put their duffs, though. “There’s been a lot of learning opportunities through the new seating,” Stuart said, “and a lot of it ties in with the new learning standards.” One of the key components in those standards is collaboration. Each morning, when Stuart picks sticks with the children’s names on them to determine who gets to pick their seating first, there are big decisions: Do you want to sit next to someone new? Because if you sit next to your best bud ... “Are you going to be able to control your excitement?” Stuart said. “Will you be able to pay attention, or will you be talking too much?” The wide-open space

Payton Rumfelt, 8, and Sarah Hutchison, 7, work on a math worksheet Tuesday in Chelsea Stuart’s second grade-class at Northside Elementary School in Morrison. Stuart has removed some of the tables, chairs and desks from her room and replaced them with wobble cushions, bean bags, pillows and exercise balls. in the middle of the room, made possible by the removal of 24 desks and the chairs that go with them, makes group projects easy to pull off. The seating makes it much easier for Stuart to group students together. The wobble cushions and exercise balls also help build core muscles. Payton Rumfelt, 8, sounded downright dip-

lomatic as he described life before alternative seating. “Before we had any of this, we were not amazed,” he said. “We wanted something else, for the bones in our back and the bones in our bottom.” Well said, young man. Well said.

A FURRY FIELD TRIP IN ROCK FALLS Michael Krabbenhoeft

Dave Suarez, board president of Happy Tails Humane Society, shows students from Washington Elementary School around the animal shelter Wednesday afternoon during a field trip to the Rock Falls animal shelter. The shelter, at 1408 McNeil Road, is open 8 a.m. to noon daily, as well as 5 to 7 p.m. Wednesday and Thursday. Among the programs it provides is Humane Education Programs, which teach children, adults, and school groups about compassionate and responsible pet ownership. Shelter staff will visit schools or host field trips to the shelter. The shelter also encourages schools, classrooms and youth groups to hold supply drives to help support the shelter while getting young people involved in the cause of animal welfare. Kids can collect supplies and deliver them to the shelter, or arrange to have them picked up. The shelter also has materials to make drives more educational.

DIXON | SCHOOL BOARD

Dixon High: Data to decision Board poised to announce decision on next course of action for school BY RACHEL RODGERS rrodgers@saukvalley.com 815-625-3600, ext. 5529 @rj_rodgers

DIXON – Within the next month, seven people will be called upon to decide the fate of Dixon High School, a building with almost 9 decades of history. The school board has three options to address the aging school: bring the building up to code, build a new school, or remodel. The estimated costs are $22 million, $69 million and $78 million, respectively. During the board’s Margo meeting Wednesday, Empen President Pam Tourtillott said the 3 years spent collecting data on the project is nearing an end, and the board soon will make a final decision. “I’m pleased to say that I think we are coming to a close of all the data

In a new building, the cost would be about $150,000, or $115,000 a year if a geothermal system is installed; a remodeled structure would cost about $160,000, or $130,000 with geothermal. Empen also presented the latest numbers gathered from a survey of district support staff and paraprofessionals. About 75 percent of the 32 support staff who took the survey favored building a new high school. They represent 54 percent of the total support staff. In the Dixon Educational Support Personnel Association survey, 36 paraprofessional took the survey, with 57.6 percent favoring a new high school and 42.4 percent favoring a remodel.

needed to make a decision, and as a board, we are excited that in the next couple weeks, we will publicly announce what we can do to incorporate change ourselves,” she said. Superintendent Margo Empen said she expects a special meeting in April will address the decision. The two most important factors are what will provide the best learning environment for students and what will be most fiscally responsible. “I think to have a vision, and to know how to work to achieve that vision, it’s very exciting,” Empen said. Kevin Schultz, the district’s director of buildings and grounds, presented the board with utility figures for each option. The current high school’s utilities cost about 82 cents per square foot, from boilers and limited air conditioning. That’s about $145,000 a year. Even though a new high school would have air conditioning throughout, the energy cost per square foot would be cheaper, he said.

Cost estimates of district’s building options Here are projected costs for work on each option being weighed by the Dixon school board: Option 1: Bring all Dixon Public School District buildings up to code, with no other improvements; cafeteria/multipurpose additons at Washington and Jefferson elementary schools: $30,458,489 Option 2: Build a new high school on a new site; bring Jefferson, Washington and Madison elementary and Reagan middle schools up to code; cafeteria/multipurpose additions at Washington and Jefferson: $77,675,105 Option 3: Partial demolition, additions and renovations at existing high school; bring Jefferson, Washington and Madison elementary and Reagan middle schools up to code; cafeteria/multipurpose addions at Washington and Jefferson: $82,818,123 Visit dixonschools.org or plandixonschools.info for more information.

DIXON ONE

Getting everyone on the same calendar page Task force gets behind idea of a master schedule to capitalize on city events BY RACHEL RODGERS rrodgers@saukvalley.com 815-625-3600, ext. 5529 @rj_rodgers

DIXON – For Tim Boles, general manager of Stage Left theater, scheduling shows that don’t conflict with other community events can be a challenge. During its meeting Tuesday, the Dixon One advisory task force discussed ways of alleviating this problem. The group was formed

City raises age for tobacco to 21 CHICAGO (AP) – The age to legally purchase cigarettes and tobacco products in Chicago is now 21 instead of 18. The Chicago City Council approved the age increase Wednesday along with other efforts to combat illegal tobacco sales. The new ordinance enacts higher taxes including 20 cents per cigar, $1.80 per ounce

by the City Council in December to consolidate marketing, tourism and development into a single entity under one roof. The members are charged with forming a plan to do that within the next few months. “There are going to be unavoidable accidents with doubling up on events, but it would be nice if there was more coordination,” Boles said. By consolidating a calfor smokeless and smoking tobacco and 60 cents per ounce for pipe tobacco. Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s office estimates the taxes will bring in about $6 million annually. His office says the money will be spent on an orientation program for freshmen at Chicago high schools. Separately aldermen approved on a voice vote a ban on chewing tobacco at professional and amateur sporting events.

ter option. The task force also discussed how to structure the marketing hub, what key components should be featured, and categories under which organizations could fall. Chairman Gary Gehlbach said they should gather all of the “ingredients” of the project before designing the structure. “We have all of these vibrant organizations, and we need to identify those that contribute to our unique culture and figure out what categories they belong in,” he said.

endar of events, the group envisioned fewer instances of overlap and more opportunities to draw visitors – marketing an entire weekend lineup, for example. “There have been many calendars created by organizations, but we haven’t seen one that combines them all,” said Vicky Turner, a task force member and former Dixon Tourism chairwoman. Hypothetically, the marketing director could be tasked with overseeing the calendar, and the group also discussed having a fil-

Some of the categories of organizations include culture and arts, history, culinary, and recreation. City councilman Mitch Tucker suggested focusing on the structure first, rather than emphasizing organizations that could be involved. “I think we might be biting off more than we can chew; maybe we could start with three or four core organizations instead of 50,” he said. “We only have 6 months, and we are going to get buried in these details.” The task force members

agreed that the structure would be easier to develop if they heard from someone who has been through the process before. They plan on scheduling a meeting with an official from Waverly, Iowa, where a similar consolidation occurred. “Once we have a vision of what Dixon One will be, everyone is going to want to be a part of it and want to be able to take advantage of the marketing branch,” councilman Mike Venier said.

Jazz Up Your Menu The 1920s â€“ a decadent decade with food to match; here are a few recipes thatâ€™ll delight flappers and food-lovers alike

BY DANIEL NEMAN Tribune News Service

The 1920s roared. The economy buzzed along mightily â€“ at least until the last 3 months of the decade. Young people danced the Charleston to the sounds of hot jazz. Speakeasies became popular as some people looked for ways to circumvent Prohibition, and the movies learned to talk. In the world of food, things were looking up. Scientists were busy researching vitamins, and consumers were eating accordingly: more fruits, more vegetables, more milk. And technology was catching up to those trends, too. Farms were producing more than ever, and the process of canning foods that had been perfected during World War I now made produce accessible across the country in all seasons. And when Clarence Birdseye invented a way to freeze foods in 1922, people could eat foods from all over that still tasted fresh. On the other hand, the Baby Ruth bar and Wonder Bread were both invented in 1920, Popsicles came out in 1924, Hostess cakes and Kool-Aid were products of 1927 and Velveeta cheese was introduced in 1928. So Americans were getting healthier, but at the same time they werenâ€™t.

CHILD CARE

NO INDIVIDUAL, unless licensed or holding a permit as a childcare facility, may cause to be published any advertisement soliciting a child care service.* A childcare facility that is licensed or operating under a permit issued by the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services may publish advertisements of the services for which it is specifically licensed or issued a permit. Sauk Valley Media strongly urges any parent or guardian to verify the validity of the license of any facility before placing a child in it's care. *Family homes that care for no more than three (3) children under the age of twelve or which receive only children from a single household, for less than 24 hours per day, are exempt from licensure as day care homes. The three children to whom this exemption applies includes the family's natural or adopted children and any other persons under the age of 12 whether related or unrelated to the operator of the day care home.
