During the Nov. 12 District 88 Board of Education meeting, the Board and administration recognized American Education Week, which took place from Nov. 12 to 16. That event provides an opportunity to celebrate public education and honor individuals who are making a difference in ensuring every child receives a quality education. This year’s theme was “Reach. Educate. Inspire.”
As part of this weeklong event, Nov. 15 is designated as School Board Members Day each year in Illinois to recognize the outstanding efforts of the nearly 6,000 elected school board members throughout the state. This year’s theme was “Sharing the Vision.”
