Summary of July 23, 2007 Board of Education Meeting

The board held a special board meeting on July 23rd with the district’s new superintendent, Dr. Thomas Schneider.  Dr. Schneider’s abbreviated agenda focused on a review of the transition activities of the new superintendent with the most significant item being the approval of the alternative school site.  In addition to a new superintendent, there were other new faces as Mrs. Helen Bell and Dr. Jeanette Paintsil, who were appointed at the last board meeting, participated in the special meeting.

After introductions and some discussion on the new look of the board packet and meeting schedule, the Burr Ridge CCSD #180 Board…

…heard a brief report on the very successful Xtreme run which was held on July 21st. The CCSD 180 Foundation for Excellence sponsored the event with the help of many outstanding volunteers.  The efforts of the Burr Ridge Educational Foundation help to provide our teachers and staff with additional materials and supplemental student experiences.
…listened as Ann M. Jeans Principal Wesley Gosselink described the successful summer school program  which was attended by Burr Ridge students in record numbers.
…met with newly hired Inspire Academy Principal Michael James.  Principal James was hired at the June board meeting and has been working hard to establish the framework and philosophy of the alternative school.  The alternative school will be called Inspire Academy and staff are already working on establishing the procedures for the new school.
