At theJan. 7 meeting, the Board approved the 2025 summer school fees. Due to rising costs associated with summer school programming, 2025 course fees will increase by 11.1%. Lab fees will increase slightly as well. These fee increases are necessary for the district to continue to offer optional summer school programming without negatively impacting the budget.
The 2025 Summer School Program will offer traditional in‐person courses at all levels and Illinois Virtual School (IVS) courses for high school students. The 2025 fees for most in-person elementary, middle and high school academic courses will be $150, $169 and $310, respectively. More information about the 2025 Summer School Program, including finalized course offerings, will be available in February.

Tasks include working with the BHS Staff to plan and execute the event. Please contact Lisa Witek at lwlw0918@gmail.com for more information or to volunteer.
January is the beginning of a new year and the perfect time to start the year celebrating National Blood Donor Month.
Due to increased seasonal illnesses during the winter months and inclement weather conditions, donations of blood and platelets decline, and demand increases. The American Red Ross and Blood Banks of America encourage everyone can donate to continue their donations. Those who have never donated, to make an appointment. Blood donation is safer than ever before and saves lives.
Give blood. Don't wait for a disaster. Someone needs blood now! Contact the American Red Cross or your local blood bank for more information. Use #NationalBloodDonorMonth and #GiveBlood to share on social media.
President Richard Nixon proclaimed January as National Blood Donor Month for the first time on December 31, 1969, as requested by Senate Joint Resolution 154.
