Bond Funds Secured: The Series 2025 HLS Bonds closed April 15 with proceeds deposited at Casey State Bank and fully collateralized, advancing facility improvement projects.

Board Transition Pending: New board members must be seated by May 11, with a special meeting tentatively scheduled for May 5 at 7:00 p.m. following election certifications from multiple counties.

Budget Performance Strong: District finances are running slightly under budget through three quarters, maintaining the financial stability that earned the perfect 4.0/4.0 state rating.

Administrative Waiver Requested: The district seeks a waiver for administrative cost limitations due to employing a full-time rather than part-time superintendent position.

Construction Updates Provided: GRP/Wegman representatives updated the board on upcoming improvement work schedules for both Monroe Elementary and the junior/senior high school.

Staff Recognition Given: Mallory Foster received recognition for continued work with the Illinois State Board of Education on DLM Alternate Assessment modules.
