Dear District 67 Community,

Today, I was joined by Deputy Superintendent Dr. Jeff McHugh, Chief Technology Officer Jordan Salus, Director of Teaching and Learning Vail Kieser, and Everett Principal Dr. Renee Fitzsimmons as we shared a glimpse into plans for the 2024-2025 school year in District 67.

We discussed current academic data and future plans for literacy, math, science, technology, and innovation. I also addressed staffing levels, class size, inclusion philosophy, administrator changes, and master facility planning.

With our Portrait of a Learner vision, strategic plans, and associated metrics as our foundation, we are poised to take learning and growth to a new level in the year ahead.

A full recording may be found below.

Thank you,

Matthew L. Montgomery, Ph.D.

Superintendent

By now, most residents have received their property tax bills.

At our May District 115 Board of Education Meeting, our District 67 and 115 Chief Operating Officer/CSBO, Dr. Jennifer Hermes, helped us understand our Lake Forest, Lake Bluff, and Knollwood property tax bills by defining terms, looking at the school tax rates of comparable districts, and explaining the tax impact of the recent District 115 referendum.
