The space is used for driver safety training and can also serve as a meeting location for assorted district needs. A large training room complete with seating for 100, two wide-screen TVs and a projector system are also housed within the north half of the building. The north half of the building houses offices for the Transportation Director, the Director of Safety and Training, as well as an administrative area for dispatch and The south half of new Transportation Center building houses two maintenance bays, one vehicle wash bay, a parts and tools storage area as well as office space for the maintenance staff. The new facility consolidates two former dilapidated, remote bus storage and parking areas into one secure, sheltered location. Thank you to the CAC for their time and suggestions.As a continuation of the nearly 20-year partnership FGM Architectsand ICI has shared with Cicero School District 99, the project team was asked to design and construct a new Transportation Facility for the District’s fleet of nearly 80 buses. This list will be periodically updated as items change. One of the main points the council emphasized was striving towards excellence is a good goal, but having the welcoming feeling we have at Unity Schools is just as important. We are blessed with having many organizations which work to help support CUSD#15.

CommUNITY Excellence in our School through commUNITY support.

This is a win-win for the district as it promotes pride in the building as well as real life experiences for our students. Currently the superintendent is working with the shop class and students on completing some projects they are capable of doing. The Building and Grounds committee will be reviewing the list and working to address the needs of the facilities. They also discussed additional needs (windows at HS/MS updated, doors/security, stage front, parking).

Facility needs The council discussed the many facility upgrades (boilers, HVAC, roof, furniture, etc.) that have occurred over the past couple of years.

They also suggested further training for our staff on SEL. The council suggested the addition of an elementary/MS counselor.

Social Emotional Learning/Needs Post pandemic has revealed a greater need for social emotional learning for our students.

This is part of what the media coordinator would also address. Part of the discussion also centered around having one consistent message with one media site to access. We are looking at current staff and their abilities as well as some long-term subs we have had with such experience. The council suggested creating a position to handle the need.

Media Coordinator Many aspects of what was discussed centered around the use of the district website, social media, and having a branding campaign.

Administrative team is utilizing some of the suggestions by the committee that were not currently being employed.

Staffing shortages and how we can recruit 'Tell our Story' the group emphasized the positives we have in our district and what should draw new staff.

Building secretaries are working on putting these together this summer.
