Information for District 97's Virtual Board of Education Meeting on June 16

In March 2020, Gov. JB Pritzker issued an executive order that waives a portion of the Open Meetings Act that requires a quorum of members of a public body be physically present at a meeting location.

In order to protect the health and safety of our board of education, staff, and community members, District 97 has decided to hold its June 16 board meeting virtually, using Zoom. The public may join this meeting using the following link and dial-in information:
