The State Officials and Employee Ethics Act, 5 ILCS 430/1 et seq makes clear no board member or employee may intentionally use any district property or resources in connection with any political activity. The Illinois Council of School Attorneys have specifically vetted that point.
The next D99 BOE meeting is Monday night at 7pm. It’s 8:20 as I write this on Saturday Sunday, less than 47 35 hours before the meeting. As per the Illinois Open Meetings Act (5 ILCS 120/2.02 (a)), the posting of an agenda for each regular meeting must be at least 48 hours in advance [...]
Updating a couple boat-anchor issues that continue to highlight D99′s BOE problems, but could see some movement in the near future after years of inaction. Recording meetings.

Here’s some of my additional thoughts on the juvenile spectacle that the D99 school board meeting turned into Monday night: 1) When a board member is recognized to speak, will the rest [...]
The following does not represent the editorial opinion of DGreport. It represents mine. I’ve written several times here and other places at the dysfunctional nature of the past D58 school board.
