Board/Superintendent Reports:
Board Secretary Jill Alfrejd thanked theFoundation46 for the hard work that wentinto the BarnFest event on Saturday, Sept.17th at the Lake County Fairgrounds. Shesaid it was a really great fun evening. Shealso mentioned that the Foundation is madeup of all volunteers and many put in moretime than a fulltime job to put togetherthese types of events. She also thanked thebusinesses that supported BarnFest 2016 aswell.
Board Member Tom Meskel was also atBarnFest and mentioned that the GrayslakeMiddle School Jazz Ensemble performed. Hesaid they exhibit a mature interpretation ofthe music that is far beyond their years. Theyare really good!
Board Member Kathleen Parkinson repeated the sentiments already spokenregarding the BarnFest and said it was a veryenjoyable night.
Note: Photos of the Foundation46 BarnFestevent are available on the CCSD 46 Flickrpage [view album]
Board Vice President Jim Weidmanmentioned that he attended the GrayslakeVillage Board meeting as the Cornerstoneproject was on their agenda. He said that themajority of the project is outside of the D46boundary. It helps the Village of Grayslake,but not CCSD 46. He is excited, though, tosee it start and hopes it will extend into D46boundaries. Unfortunately, Grayslake doesnot have much property within the D46boundaries that can be developed. Mr.Weidman recommends that we start visitingother village board meetings as well as try topromote development in other villages withinthe D46 boundary.
Superintendent Correll mentioned that sheand Leslie Armstrong McLeod,Webmaster/Media Relations Specialist for thedistrict, attended the INSPRA CommunicationContest luncheon this past Friday to receive
three Awards of Excellence for the district.The awards were given for the districtwebsite, the Grayslake Community/GMS St.Baldrick's Foundation fundraising social mediacampaign, and Realtor marketing materials.INSPRA is the Illinois chapter of the NationalSchool Public Relations Association.

It is a good thing for staff to collaborate.Many staff members are mentioning that it wastime for this to happen.
Board Member Kathleen Parkinson asked,"What is guiding the PDTs?" Mr. Louisdiscussed the four critical questions they use:
1. What do we want all kids to know and learnto do?
2. How will we know if kids have done thosethings?
3. What do we do if kids haven't learned whatwe think they should?
4. What do we do if kids have already masteredwhat we want them to learn?
