INFORMATION/DISCUSSION
IASB Superintendent Search
Patricia Sullivan-Viniard, IASB Executive Search Consultant, introduced herself to the Board of Education. Ms. Viniard will be leading the Superintendent Search on behalf of the IASB. Ms. Viniard reviewed the timeline and the expectations for upcoming dates and meetings. At the August 23, 2022 regularly scheduled meeting, Ms. Viniard will review the survey results with the
Board. She will also give an update on the Announcement of Vacancy for the Superintendent.
Sex Education Legislation
Superintendent Carey reviewed the policy regarding mandated units of study. At this time, we do have a policy in place from the Illinois State Board of Education regarding many aspects of curriculum, which includes sexual health. What is listed in the policy is different than the National Sex Education Standards. In 2022-2023 districts can choose to teach what they currently have in place. This school year nothing is changing for CUSD 201. Over the course of the school year the Board can look at the curriculum. The Board has asked for the District to put together a document of what we are currently teaching in the sex education curriculum.
TCD/DAOES Joint Agreement
Superintendent Carey discussed the DAOES agreement being presented for approval at tonight's meeting. DAOES was originally made up of eight districts. The group now includes many districts and the agreement has been updated to include the new districts and what each group would financially earn if the TCD land were to be sold.
The policy's listed are being presented for a second reading tonight. The Board did not have any further questions.
