XI.A. 2021 Certificate of Tax Levy
Description:
RECOMMENDATION Approve the Certificate of Tax Levy for the 2021 levy as recommended. BACKGROUND Last month I shared with the board, as a part of the November meeting, the estimated amount of the certificate of tax levy. There have been no changes since the November 9, 2021 meeting. The certificate (attached) will be submitted to the County Clerk’s Office. The county clerk will make the required adjustments based on the tax cap and exemptions. In April or May, we will receive certification of the final extension for 2021. It is recommended that the Board approve the Certificate of Tax Levy for 2021 as presented and authorized by the President and Secretary to sign the Certificate of Tax Levy (and any other documentation to be filed in regards to the 2021 levy). |

XI.B. FY22 Math Audit Proposal
Description:
RECOMMENDATION Approve math audit in the amount of $6,900 to be paid from our ESSER III funds. BACKGROUND As part of the curriculum review process and in response to possible gaps due to the pandemic, it is recommended that we participate in a math audit between December 2021 and May 2022 to help identify the strengths and weaknesses of our current math program. In addition, we anticipate gaining insight that will allow us to develop a work plan moving forward to increase student growth in mathematics. It is my recommendation that the Board of Education approve the math audit to be paid from ESSER III funds. |
