Spotlight in Education- Mr. Buck presented the board with a recent civics action project where groups of students were asked to get involved in the community in something they believed in. The students projects made the Kankakee Daily Journal. The students started with a focus letter to gain support from the community. Next year Mr. Buck's students can either continue with the projects these students started and expand on it or start a new focus project.

Mr. Stegall provided a financial update. He informed the board that we received the 1st mcat payments for FY 16-17. It is anyone's guess if we will get anymore this school year. He is presenting an amended budget for FY 16/17 that will include only two mcat payments for the year. The new budget reflects a deficit budget of $155,000 compared to the original budget for the year with a $40,000 deficit. Mr. Stegall asked the board to approve the tentative amended budget. The formal approval will be at the June meeting following a budget hearing.
