Dr. Ketchum recognized

top 2.5% of all test takers (PSAT/NMSQT) who identify as a student from a rural
area or small town. Fletcher also scored
a 36 on the Reading portion of the ACT.
Over the past four years, Fletcher has been recognized as a member of
the National Honor Society, Illinois State Scholars, Band, Spanish,
Musical Tech Crew, and Scholar Bowl.
After high school, Fletcher plans to attend either the University of
Illinois or the University of Michigan to major in mechanical engineering and
minor in music performance.
Central Community High School
has TWENTY TWO students who were recently named as Illinois State Scholars from
the Class of 2022. This is a great honor
and symbolic of the student achievement demonstrated by students at
C.C.H.S. It is also a new school record.
We sent letters of congratulations to the students and their parents on your
behalf.
Central High School was one
of the schools selected by the State of Illinois to receive a School
Maintenance Project Grant worth up to $50,000.
We wrote this grant with the purpose of using the funds to help cover
the cost of our West Wing Flooring abatement project and we were notified last
week that our school was approved.

Tax Levy as presented was made by Tim, second by Mary Lou. Roll call vote: Aye –Mike Nettemeier, Kori
Voss, Mary Lou Voss, Amy Kruse, Tanya Kampwerth, Tim Richter, Jeff

Dr.
Foutch updated the BOE on the Science Lab and West Wing flooring project.
As we discussed last month,
our plan is to use E-Learning Days (in very limited circumstances) in lieu of
Emergency (Snow) days. The only time we
will do “remote” learning is if the situation dictates that an E-Learning
environment would be more beneficial than an in-person day at the end of the
school year. A motion to approve the
E-Learning Plan Resolution as presented was made by Tim, second by Kori. Roll call vote: Aye –Mike Nettemeier, Kori
Voss, Mary Lou Voss, Amy Kruse, Tanya Kampwerth, Tim Richter, Jeff
Kampwerth. Nay – None
A motion to approve the 2022
Risk Management Plan was made by Jeff, second by Tanya. Roll call vote: Aye –Mike Nettemeier, Kori Voss, Mary
Lou Voss, Amy Kruse, Tanya Kampwerth, Tim Richter, Jeff Kampwerth. Nay – None
Dr. Foutch has been working
with a Solar Company to explore the possibility of using solar panels to reduce
our energy costs at Central. The company
is Future Green. The Illinois
Association of School Business Officials and the Illinois Association of School
Administrators have approved Future Green to work with schools on these types
of projects. They designed a solar array
that would provide roughly 85% of our power on an annual basis. The solar panels would involve $0 of upfront
cost and they are estimated to save our district $25,350 per year. These types of projects are now possible due
to recent legislation that was passed by the Illinois legislature. School districts are now eligible to receive
“energy credits” and it is my understanding that these credits make this type
of project much more feasible for both contractors and school districts. The
BOE will discuss this again next month.
A motion to approve the
retirement of Greg Kruse at the conclusion of the 2024-2025 school year was made
by Tanya, second by Kori. Roll call
vote: Aye –Mike Nettemeier, Kori Voss, Mary Lou Voss, Amy Kruse, Tanya
Kampwerth, Tim Richter, Jeff Kampwerth.
Nay – None
