4.11.2018 - Notice of Public Hearing - Administrative Cost CapPublic Hearing Notice: There will be a public hearing regarding the application for Waiver of School Code (Section 17-1.5) held on April 25, 2018 at 6:00 pm. The location of the meeting will be at the Board of Education Room, 6018 W. Lancaster Rd., Bartonville, IL 61607. The purpose of the waiver is as follows: Waiver of School Code (Section 17-1.5) request to allow the district to waive the limitation of administrative cost due to circumstances beyond its control. In previous years the district employed a single person in a combined superintendent/principal position. A portion of the salary and benefits for this combined position would not have been reported on the administrative costs worksheet. Starting with the 2017-18 school year, the district employees a superintendent and a principal, with all of the lead administrator's costs being reported on the worksheet. As a result of this change, the district's administrative costs for FY2018 are exceeding those for FY 2017 by more than the 5 percent limitation.

PARCC Testing Begins @ OGS - Wednesday, March 7, 2018It's that time of year again when we take the time within the academic calendar to complete the State of Illinois required assessment. PARCC tests will be administered to students third through eighth grade. Our testing will begin with our Junior High students. Parents can support their students by ensuring they know their students schedule of tests, encouraging them to complete their best work and to ask them how they did on the assessment. As you may or may not know, assessment performance is now linked to school funding so it is even more important that students take the assessment seriously and that they do the very best they can for themselves, their school, and community. Go Eagles!
