MCHS DISTRICT #111BOARD OF EDUCATION

In Illinois, public education is the state’s constitutional responsibility. The state delegates the authority to govern school districts to local school boards. Boards are made up of seven district residents elected at-large to serve staggered terms of four years without pay. So, although the board is politically responsible to district voters, it is legally responsible to the state.

Specifically, the MCHS District #111 Board of Education works to:• adopt goals and policies that meet state requirements and

reflect community needs;• provide the resources necessary to pursue its goals according

to its policies; and• monitor district performance to see that results are consistent

with goals and policies.

The MCHS District #111 Board of Education operates under a committee structure. Committees consist of two to three Board members, along with Administrative advisors. The committee structure allows Board members to study issues in depth, and assist in forming recommendations for action by the full Board.

Committee work takes place in open meetings, which are posted in the same manner as regular meetings. However, no action can be taken at a committee meeting. All action and business by the Board of Education is conducted during regular Board meetings.

The Board of Education meets on the first and third Thursday of each month (exceptions are noted with *). All meetings are held in the MCHS - Central Campus Career Center and begin at 6:30 p.m. Listed below are the meeting dates for the 2016-2017 MCHS school year:

August 17, 2017September 7, 2017September 21, 2017October 5, 2017*October 18, 2017November 2, 2017

*November 14, 2017December 21, 2017January 18, 2018February 1, 2018February 15, 2018March 1, 2018

HANDBOOK & POLICY INFORMATION

At the beginning of the school year, your child will receive a copy of the handbook

(as part of his/her daily planner). In addition to your child’s printed copy, parents can also view the handbook online at www.mchs.net or request a

printed copy of the document from the main office at either campus. For more information, please contact the MCHS

District #111 Community Relations Office at 815-467-2140, ext. 5034.

SCHOOL MESSENGERMESSAGING SYSTEM

MCHS District #111 uses the School Messenger Messaging System to

provide families with timely telephone and e-mail based communication in

both emergency (school closings, dog searches, etc.) and non emergency

(event reminders, school updates, etc.) situations. Please be sure to have up-to-date telephone and e-mail contact

information on file with the district so you receive these important messages. For more information, please contact MCHS District #111 Community Relations Office

at 815-467-2140, ext. 5034.
