IV.B. New Subdivision - Farmingdale Village Unit 26
Description:
In 2008, Gallagher & Henry received subdivision approval for Farmingdale Village Unit 26, located north of Heritage Parkway and west of Lemont Road (directly west of the Vicente Subdivision). The
developers would like to move forward with construction of a portion of the subdivision starting this year. Applications have been submitted to modify the approved subdivision with the request going before the Woodridge Plan Commission on Monday, October 6th and before the Village Board on Thursday, October 16th. According to the Village of Woodridge, site improvements for the Phase 1 of the subdivision are expected to begin immediately following Village approval. A map of Farmingdale Village Unit 26 is included. Farmingdale Village Unit 26 will be the third single-family subdivision to begin construction in Center Cass this year, with one more in the planning phase for Darien. Construction started earlier this year on Timbers Edge, a 149 lot subdivision north of 83rd Street, and Fox Wood Estates, a 17 lot subdivision south of 75th Street and east of Dunham Road. In an effort to create the most accurate enrollment projections possible, we are working with the developers to determine estimates on how quickly homes will be constructed.

VI.C. School Bus Driver Appreciation Day
Description:
In 2010, the Illinois House of Representatives passed a resolution establishing a day in October as School Bus Driver Appreciation Day in the State of Illinois. This was intended to be a tribute to the hard work and dedication of the men and women who provide a safe ride to school for our children. In Center Cass District 66 we would like to recognize our own bus drivers on Thursday, October 23.
To recognize our CCSD66 Transportation Department, I recommend that the Board of Education approve the attached resolution.

IX.B. Extra Duty Stipend for Building Leadership Teams
Description:
In September the Steering Committee discussed the need for a new BLT stipend for teachers. This
additional stipend is needed to address the extra work being done by either Team Leaders or BLT (not team leaders) members through the addition of approx. 30 minutes per week outside the normal work day. While we want to avoid the mentality that “every committee gets paid”, at the same time this committee structure is an integral part of our PLC initiative and meets on a weekly basis. After reviewing the hourly rate in the CCEA collective bargaining agreement and the number of addtional hours these positions will require, the Steering Committee recommended an additional $600 stipend per BLT member for the 2014-15 school year. Recommendation: The Superintendent recommends that the BOE approve an additional $600 stipend per BLT member for the 2014-15 school year. |
