MONTHLY REPORT

Dr. Bresnahan reported she met with a US Census representative. They shared Ideas and best practices, to help ensure a complete count in our community. The decennial census provides foundational information that will be used to make policy decisions for ten years. ISBE is doing its part by making sure that schools recognize their important role in this process since chools and educators are in constant contact with hard to count populations.

Dr. Bresnahan was invited to a Fireside Chat with Governor Pritzker. The focus was Early Childhood Education. She thanked the governor for the additional increase in Early Childhood Grant funds which allowed the District to expand our Pre-School Program.

Information for the Referendum, 2020 is on the District’s website. There will be 4 open houses in February for the community to visit the schools and see the potential projects. February 20 at Sunnyside, February 26 at Riley, February 29 at MacArthur and March 3 at Northlake.

Dr. Bresnahan answered questions from the audience regarding the referendum. She will ensure the tax calculator is correct on the website.

The District was not awarded the Property Tax Relief Grant.
