In order to comply with Governor Pritzker's Stay-At-Home order due to COVID-19, the District 109 Board of Education held the 4/20 Board of Education Meeting virtually. No one was onsite at the District Center, our regular meeting location. Members of the public could listen to the meeting by calling a designated number. For open/community participation we created a dedicated voicemail line for public comment.


We expect to follow the same procedures for our May 18 Board of Education meeting.


Thank you for your flexibility during this time and please stay well.
