As previously advertised in a local newspaper and on the District’s website, a Public Hearing to receive public comments and questions regarding the District’s application and plan for a Waiver of the Illinois School Code regarding administrative costs will be held by the Frankfort Community Unit School District #168 Board of Education at 5:50 p.m. on Monday, November 20, 2023, in the Library at Central Junior High School, located at 1600 East Ninth Street in West Frankfort. As noted in the previous advertisement, this increase in expenditures by 8% instead of 5% is due to the additional budgeted costs to hire and retain qualified staff as well as increased costs in benefit and supply line items. The requested waiver of the requirements of 105 ILCS 5/17-1.5 is a one-year request.
Following the Hearing and as posted in the regular schedule for the year, the monthly Regular Meeting of the Frankfort CUSD #168 Board of Education will be held no earlier than 6 p.m., at Central Junior High School, located at 1600 East Ninth Street in West Frankfort.
The agenda can be found at the district’s website at www.wfschools.org.
