Last week, the Senate Education Committee approved SB 2134 which encourages districts to engage in shared services with other districts. The sponsor, Sen. Susan Garrett, met with ED-RED prior to the committee hearing and agreed to amend the legislation to address concerns about the scope of the bill. Last week, we met again to discuss the importance of starting with data to determine how districts are collaborating and if policy changes are necessary to help districts coordinate efforts.
Sen. Garrett will hold a forum on Monday, April 4 at 10am at Oakton Community College to hear from local districts on these issues. The meeting will take place in Room 1610 and attendees are asked to park in Lot D. Please RSVP to Sen. Garrett’s office at ilsenate29@sbcglobal.net or 847/433-2002 by April 1st.
Oak Grove School District will be represented at this meeting by Board Members, our Business Manager and a parent from the Consolidation Committee.
