The Board of Education gathered on Monday evening for its monthly business meeting. The Board heard a presentation with our mid-year update of our 2023-24 strategic plan action steps and also heard, and approved, a bid for the summer 2024 asbestos abatement project at McKenzie. Additionally, the Board also accepted the FY23 audits for both District 39 and the Wilmette Community Special Education Agreement (WCSEA) and conducted its second and final reading of several Board policies. Agendas and materials for all Board of Education meetings will be
posted online the Friday prior to the meeting.
