Dr. Hardy,

Thank you for your response.

. I agree with your sentiment and sincerely

hope this discussion can move forward in a proactive, respectful way so the ask from students isn’t
lost in all the peripheral chatter.

Thank you,

Greetings, Board Member Kartsounes,

Thank you for your email.

The civics class has taken this topic on a project. (This is the class that successfully
advocated for the recently installed crossing lights at South). Please know that these
students are very thorough. They have been viewing and reviewing board meetings and
related documents. They are asking many questions, and the resurgence of this discussion
is a direct result of their research, discussions, and advocacy. Please also note that the civics
class is not alone. Off-campus lunch is a community-wide initiative supported by many
parents and guardians, the faculty and staff, the administration, and the broader student
body. The administration did not
bring this topic back to the table after being told not to. Instead, our students, supported by

Good Morning, Board of Education,
I attached the Off-Campus Lunch Proposal and Fact Sheet to this email for your
review. I want you to know that these documents are familiar, as they are the same
as those you previously submitted through your weekly updates. Of course, we
updated the documents to respond to any questions shared with us by board
members via the superintendents over the last year. Our team also updated these
documents to include responses to the most recent questions submitted by
Board member James. Thank you for taking the time to reexamine these
documents, which have the information you previously inquired about, as I
mentioned last night.

Again, thank you for reading the documents. You have them well in advance of the
May meeting.

Good morning, Board Member Walker,
I typically do not respond ahead of my supervisors, and your email did not address
either of them (or me) specifically. I have responded to all other BOE members who
contacted me, so I'll take the risk of going first here. Please see the language of my
email below. I responded to another BOE member this morning who had similar
questions. I believe my response contains information you are requesting. Plus,
sharing with you allows my responses to be consistent and everyone is hearing the
same thing.

Here it is...

"Please know that South's administration has always maintained that

this initiative did not need to be put to a "vote" by the BOE. We simply
agreed that it would not be prudent or wise to proceed administratively
without giving the BOE a chance to weigh in on such a big change. Plus, I
just wanted to be collaborative from the start having worked with
boards as a school leader for over 20 years. If we had proceeded
administratively without BOE input, I can imagine 30+ different
scenarios (all bad) that could have happened, starting with elected
officials being flooded with questions for an initiative for which the
admin did not equip them to respond.
 "

***Please let me know if this did not give you what you needed.

Thanks kindly,
Patrick Hardy, Ph.D., D.Min.

Hello,

Can you please let me know the next steps and plan for the topic of the Off Campus Lunch
Pilot.  

Will the Hinsdale South Admin team review the proposal with Dr, Lach and make a
decision about the pilot with implementation in the fall of 2024?

Or will this topic come before the board for a vote?

Essentially I am asking if this is an administrative decision at the building level or a board

decision.

Please advise.

Dear Ms. James,

I hope your week is off to a good start. To begin, we find it disappointing that we have proposed the idea of an off-campus lunch with many
positive reasons and have not gotten a response for over two weeks. We would appreciate a timely response regarding the topic of off-
campus lunch. We spent a lot of time researching our main points that we shared during the March 21st board meeting, as well as
conducting a survey that showed a tremendous amount of favorable opinions. Our research on the SEL benefits, real-world experience, and
incentives are also highlighted on the handout provided during the meeting. We know that you responded and made changes to other topics
brought up during audience communication at that same meeting, and this topic should be no different. It is also our understanding that
many of the questions the board has asked regarding off-campus lunch have already been answered by our administration, and the
requirement of waiting for the crossing lights on Clarendon Hills Road has been fulfilled, yet there has yet to be a response.

We look forward to this being added as an agenda item at a future board meeting and working with you to make that happen.

Dear

Thank you for your email. The building leadership is responsible for bringing proposals to the district administration (superintendent office) before
being brought to the Board of Education for consideration. The first step would be to discuss your request with Dr. Hardy.

Sincerely,
Peggy James
Board of Education

Dear Mrs. James,
I hope your week is off to a good start. To begin, we find it disappointing that we have proposed the idea of an off-campus lunch
with many positive reasons and have not gotten a response for over two weeks. We would appreciate a timely response regarding
the topic of off-campus lunch. We spent a lot of time researching our main points that we shared during the March 21st board
meeting, as well as conducting a survey that showed a tremendous amount of favorable opinions. Our research on the SEL
benefits, real-world experience, and incentives are also highlighted on the handout provided during the meeting. We know that you
responded and made changes to other topics brought up during audience communication at that same meeting, and this topic
should be no different. It is also our understanding that many of the questions the board has asked regarding off-campus lunch
have already been answered by our administration, and the requirement of waiting for the crossing lights on Clarendon Hills Road
has been fulfilled, yet there has yet to be a response.
We look forward to this being added as an agenda item at a future board meeting and working with you to make that happen.
Best,
