BOE Meets Tonight

The school board will hold its work-and-study meeting at 8 p.m. in the Plainfield High School Conference Room tonight. The agenda (picked up at the Plainfield Public Library) did not seem to have any major items, but often the remarks of the board president, superintendent and committee chairs reveal some interesting news.

Board and district goals are listed on page 23 of the agenda. Click here to view tonight's agenda.

The board has extra executive sessions this week to deal with the superintendent's search. According to a revised schedule, the board will meet from 5:30 to 10 p.m. Wednesday and from 5:30 to 8:45 p.m. Thursday in closed session. Both meetings are at the Emerson Swing School, 1700 W. Front St.

The business meeting on Jan 22 coincides with a City Council meeting. The agenda should be available at the library by Saturday and Plaintalker will attempt a preview.
