Spoke to the District 46 Board of Education last night

I have a standing offer to all the taxing bodies that are inside the Village boundaries to come talk to them any time they want. Last night I went to Community Consolidated District 46 regular board meeting to talk to the board of education at the invitation of the new Superintendent Ellen Correll. Over the last 4 plus years I have been to all but two of the 9 school district's in Round Lake board meetings. Some of the meetings have been "hot" but always enjoyable!

Tonight's meeting was calm we discussed 5 things that impact the district todayand will impact district 46 in the future.

• Route 120 Bypass
• Cedar Lake Road Extension
• Future Development
• The Southwest Quadrant of our comprehensive plan
• The Ryland commercial land

We also talked about the best way forward to rebuild the two way communication channel that we had with the last schools administration. By the way the picture is of the ground breaking for the new school being built by the district in Round Lake on Townline Road. The school will not open soon enough in my opinion.
