The monthly Regular Meeting of the Frankfort CUSD #168 Board of Education will be held on Monday, December 18, 2023, at 6 p.m. in the Library at Central Junior High School, located at 1600 East Ninth Street in West Frankfort.

     In addition, and as advertised previously in a local newspaper and on the District’s website, there will be 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 at 5:45 p.m. on Monday, December 18, 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.

     That will be followed, as advertised in a local newspaper, by a “Truth in Taxation” Hearing at 5:50 p.m., also in the Library at Central Junior High School, located at 1600 East Ninth Street in West Frankfort.

     The agendas can be found at the district’s website at www.wfschools.org.
