achievement. Projected costs for implementing the interventions are included. The Board asked questions for different areas of the report. Dr. Gatta spoke of the collaboration that went into the report and the commitment and thoroughness by the directors to complete this report. It was moved by SMITH and seconded by DONIGER to approve the 2009‐10 School Improvement Reports for Niles North and Niles West, including Niles Central, noting that projected expenditures will reflect budgetary guidelines.

Vision for the Future for District 219 Mr. Silverman said the administration has spent time over the last year developing this vision. The Board met to discuss this in great detail over three evenings. The mission and goal remain the same, adding five interventions to achieve the goal. It was noted that by having a five‐year plan, modifications are easier to be made. Mr. Greenspan noted that this is a great step forward from where we were five years ago, by having long range planning. Eileen Valfer said that purchasing laptops is part of this plan. She said she will vote yes, but with reservation. She believes that providing a laptop for every student helps level the learning field and supports the goal to make students able to deal with technology. With that being said she does believe the use of a laptop should be a learning tool, not replace the teacher or using pen and paper. She said she feels it is important for directors and administrators to direct teachers to instruct students to write cohesively without the use of the computer. It was moved by SMITH and seconded by DONIGER to approve the five interventions relative to the Board goal and as detailed in the plan document. A roll call vote was taken. Voting Aye: Doniger, Greenspan, Silverman, Smith, Valfer. The motion carried. The five interventions are: 1. Advancing and integrating science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) and 21st Century literacies. 2. Ensuring a guaranteed and rigorous curriculum and common final exam. 3. Engaging students in anywhere/anytime learning by providing laptop computer to expand their learning opportunities. 4. Committing to a five‐year comprehensive capital improvement plan. 5. Establishing and enhancing partnerships with parents, community organi‐ zations and outside agencies to strengthen our community of learners. Preliminary Budget FY 2010 Susan Husselbee said the Board received the preliminary budget on May 18. She asked if the Board had any questions. The Board will be asked to approve the tentative budget on July 13 and the final budget scheduled for approval on August 31. It was noted that the IDEA grant will be able to pay for para‐educators and support staff. Susan Husselbee clarified that the District has a balanced budget.

RE:
Intergovernmental Agreement Regarding the Shared Use of Facilities and Joint Programs Between Niles Township High School District 219, the Village of Lincolnwood Park and Recreation Department, the Morton Grove Park District and the Skokie Park District
Niles Township High School District 219 has been working with the Village of Lincolnwood Park and Recreation Department, the Morton Grove Park District and the Skokie Park District to coordinate efforts in developing a comprehensive contract which will serve our feeder and affiliate programs. We believe the contract and its amendments will enhance our relationship and provide more transparency in serving recreational and competitive programs at both Niles West and Niles North. This agreement includes an addendum which focuses efforts to provide a comprehensive swim program for all governmental agencies. The District appreciates the efforts put forth by the Skokie Park District in collaborating to provide a consistent avenue for K-8 school age children to become integrated into the daily operations of Niles Township High School District 219 while considering opportunities for other governmental agencies to funnel potential swimmers into a mainstream, branded program. We believe this new relationship will enhance the opportunity for youth programs to provide better services to the community. Lastly, the marketing tools of Lincolnwood, Morton Grove and Skokie will exemplify this joint relationship and become a premier brand in the community to support all residents over time.
MOTION: I move the Board of Education authorize administration to extend the Intergovernmental Agreement, with amendments, between Niles Township High School District 219, the Village of Lincolnwood Park and Recreation Department, the Morton Grove Park District and the Skokie Park District.
INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT REGARDING THE SHARED USE OF FACILITIES AND JOINT PROGRAMS BETWEEN NILES TOWNSHIP HIGH SCHOOL DISTRICT 219, THE VILLAGE OF LINCOLNWOOD PARK AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT, THE MORTON GROVE PARK DISTRICT AND THE SKOKIE PARK DISTRICT THIS INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT (hereinafter referred to as the “Agreement”) effective this 13th Day of July 2009 by and between the Village of Lincolnwood Park and Recreation Department, the Morton Grove Park District, the Skokie Park District (hereinafter referred to as the “Park Districts”), an Illinois unit of local government, and Niles Township High School District the School District 219, an Illinois School District (hereinafter referred to as the “School District”), collectively referred to as the “Parties”. WHEREAS, the Park Districts and School District are public agencies within the meaning of Illinois Intergovernmental Cooperation Act, 5 ILCS 220/1 et seq.; and WHEREAS, Article VII, Section 10, of the 1970 Constitution of the State of Illinois encourages and provides for units of local government to contract and otherwise associate with other units of local government to exercise, combine or transfer any power or function in any manner not prohibited by law; and WHEREAS, the Park Districts and School District have determined it is in the best interests of the Parties, as well as the residents and individuals served by the Parties to share the use of certain of each other’s facilities, work cooperatively in the use of said shared facilities, and form joint recreational and competitive programs for the benefit of the community, all as described in the Joint Statement, attached hereto and incorporated herein as Exhibit A. WHEREAS, the Park Districts and School District have a history of working cooperatively for their mutual benefit and the benefit of their respective constituents and desire to further define their respective rights and responsibilities with respect to the sharing of facilities and the joint delivery of programs as described herein.
