March 16, 2015
TOWNSHIP HIGH SCHOOL DISTRICT 113
Recognition of Special Education Teaching Assistants
At the March 16th Board of Education meeting, our special education teaching
assistants will be recognized for their dedicated service to our students and our
schools.
Our special education teaching assistants play a vital role in helping our schools
meet the needs of each student, each day--and helping our students to be the best
Giants and Warriors they can be.
Our special education teaching assistants work directly with our teaching staff and
students throughout the day, supporting the students in every aspect of their high
school experience. They help students to succeed in the curriculum, facilitate
students’ involvement in the classroom, provide support for students’ participation
in extracurricular activities, ensure students’ safety and well-being, and help
students build the skills and experience necessary for post high school success.
They partner with school staff and local businesses to provide job training and
coaching for students, and represent our schools out in the community with
students.
Our special education teaching assistants build strong, trusting relationships with
students, helping them to feel independent, supported, and willing to try new
things. In many cases our special education teaching assistants become the “safe
adult” that students know they can go to with questions or concerns.
Each of our special education teaching assistants brings a unique set of skills,
expertise and areas of interest that benefits not just the students with whom they
work, but the school community as a whole.
The Board of Education is grateful to the special education teaching assistants for
their significant contributions and commends them for their commitment to our
students.

March 16, 2015
TOWNSHIP HIGH SCHOOL DISTRICT 113
Small Scope Project Contracts
Attached are proposed contracts with Perkins+Will for architectural services and Gilbane
Building Company as construction manager, for small scope projects within District 113. Small
scope projects can be categorized as Life Safety, Capital Projects, or/and General Maintenance.
They may arise as a part of, in conjunction with, or separate and aside of the Referendum Project.
Given P+W and Gilbane’s intimate familiarity with our buildings, goals, focus, and long term
master plan, as well as with city, state, and regional office of education requirements, below are
some of the cost effective advantages to be realized by engaging in these contracts:



Identification of needs, thereby avoiding reconstruction in future years
Dovetailing with existing projects in progress

Website Design
DISCUSSION
District 113 published a website redesign Request for
Proposal in the Pioneer Press on October 30 and also sent
copies of the RFP to reputable design firms known to
members of the team, several of whom had presented
preliminary demos this summer to Communications Director
Jennifer Waldorf, Director of Technology Ron Kasbohm and
Systems Manager Zac Avery. A total of seven complete
proposals were received on November 14 and the proposals
were reviewed by Ms. Waldorf, Mr. Kasbohm and Mr. Avery.
Based on design elements and user interface, four firms were
selected to present demos on December 17, 2014 to a small
group of stakeholders, which included school staff and a
community member and parents from both schools. The
vendor presentations focused primarily on the design/frontend user experience, and also touched on how easy the sites
would be for District staff to maintain. Based on the
presentations and a preliminary cost analysis, the team
selected two firms with which to proceed with further
discussion about various aspects of the project. This included
items such as tech support, frequency of software updates,
extra/add-on costs, search functionality and user sign-ups for
content notifications. The team is recommending that
District 113 enter into a 39-month contract with SchoolWires
to create completely custom-built websites for District 113,
HPHS and DHS, for the total overall cost of $33,207. The

Website Design RFP
(Discussion Item at the March 3, 2015 Board of Education Meeting)
District 113 published a website redesign Request for Proposal in the Pioneer Press on October
30 and also sent copies of the RFP to reputable design firms known to members of the team,
several of whom had presented preliminary demos this summer to Communications Director
Jennifer Waldorf, Director of Technology Ron Kasbohm and Systems Manager Zac Avery. The
team received a total of seven complete proposals by the November 14 deadline. Waldorf,
Kasbohm and Avery reviewed these proposals. Based on design elements and user interface, four
firms were selected to present demos on December 17 to a small group of stakeholders, which
included school staff and a community member. Parents from both schools also were invited to
participate. The vendor presentations focused primarily on the design/front-end user experience,
and also touched on how easy the sites would be for District staff to maintain. Based on the
presentations and a preliminary cost analysis, the team selected two firms with which to proceed
with further discussion about various aspects of the project. This included items such as tech
support, frequency of software updates, extra/add-on costs, search functionality and user sign-ups
for content notifications.
Our team is recommending that District 113 enter into a 39-month contract with SchoolWires to
create completely custom-built websites for District 113, HPHS and DHS, for the total overall
cost of $33,207. The payment timeline below, which was negotiated by Ron, defers the bulk of
the start-up and first-year costs to the 2015-16 budget, rather than upon initiation of the work this
spring:

custom-built websites for District 113, HPHS, and DHS.
