Citizen's Advisory Council (CAC)

The CAC serves as the school district's Improvement Planning Committee.  Members are responsible for sharing information from the Board of Education and the CAC with their representative groups and, conversely, sharing information from their group with the Council.  The CAC is also responsible for assisting in the development of student discipline policy as required by the Illinois School Code. Any advice the CAC provides to the Board of Education will be prepared after careful study and research of the topic.  

The CAC works with the district to update the Parent Handbook and leads the work of our school community Asset/Needs Assessment. 

The CAC meets on:

  • October 16, 2025

  • January 14, 2026

  • March 18, 2026

  • May 20, 2026

Meetings start promptly at 6:30 pm.  All CAC meetings will be conducted in person at the District Office (424 Des Plaines Ave).
