🌟 STAFF SPOTLIGHT: Katie Mogilefsky 🌟
This week, we would like to put the spotlight on a staff member who has held many roles here for the last 4 years, Katie Mogilefsky.
"Moving between roles has let me see the school from many angles, from coaching teachers to elementary Digital Citizenship to guiding junior high and high school students in English/ Reading and Student Council. Each move has built on the last, and that range has given me a unique opportunity to connect and build relationships with all students in our school. "
Thank you, Katie Mogilefsky, for your 4 years of service here, and for your help in many roles in our Doniphan-Trumbull school.

Portions of the existing school building date to the 1950s and 1960s. Some of its heating, ventilation, electrical and plumbing systems are aging, while other facilities face space and safety challenges.
Among the needs identified are:
1️⃣ Aging building systems
2️⃣ Modular classrooms that require students to travel outdoors for activities
3️⃣ Shop ventilation and fire safety concerns
4️⃣ Limited space for student programs and individualized instruction
5️⃣ Food service facilities that no longer adequately meet the school's needs
The proposed bond would address additional facility needs that cannot be met through the annual operating budget alone.
The district has already used operating funds to renovate 11 classrooms and install new air-quality ventilation units. The district plans to continue improvements in the parts of the school not covered under the bond, like the science room.

❓How is the 2026 Doniphan-Trumbull bond proposal different from the proposal considered in 2023?
Following the unsuccessful 2023 bond questions, the Board of Education reviewed community feedback and developed a new plan with a smaller scope and lower cost.
The changes include:
1️⃣ Bond amount reduced from $32.1 million to $17.5 million
2️⃣ Estimated tax levy reduced from 28.9 cents to 13 cents
3️⃣ New construction reduced from 66,425 to 35,095 square feet
4️⃣ Renovation reduced from 40,606 to 12,133 square feet
The district would also contribute $2.5 million from its cash reserves to reduce the amount borrowed.
The 2026 proposal prioritizes classroom space, student support, safety, career and technical education, food service and accessibility.

🌟Staff Spotlight: Brynn Barnett🌟
11 years of encouragement, inspiration, and making every student feel like they belong. Thank you, Mrs.Barnett, for everything you do for our elementary school and community! It doesn't go unnoticed! 🍎📚 We asked Mrs.Barnett why she chose to teach elementary over high school, and she said, "I chose to teach elementary rather than high school because I love being part of a student’s early developmental journey. At the elementary level, you get to lay the groundwork for critical thinking and confidence, creating a fun, supportive environment where learning feels like an adventure."
Thank you, Mrs.Barnett!

Building or renovating a school is a big undertaking, and careful planning is crucial.
A Construction Manager (CM) works alongside the district and architects from the early planning stages through the completion of construction.
Here's how that helps:
Keeps costs in check. Provides updated cost estimates as plans develop to help keep the project within budget.
- Finds the best value. Helps evaluate building materials and systems based on cost, quality and long-term performance.
- Encourages competitive bidding. All construction trades are publicly bid, with opportunities for local contractors to compete. The Board of Education reviews every bid.
= Oversees construction. Coordinates schedules, construction phases, safety and quality throughout the project.
Have more questions about the proposed school bond? You'll find the answer to this question and many others, along with project plans, a tax impact estimator and more, at: https://dtcardinals.bondinformation.org
We encourage everyone to explore the information and learn more about the proposal before the November 3 election.
