AUDIENCE COMMENTS
George Schramer, 708 Lindsay Circle, addressed the Board about the proposed District 129 Bond. He was requesting the Board vote no on the upcoming school referendum for School District 129. His concern was that the Village of North Aurora does not have enough of a voice in District 129 in regard to how we should help our local citizens to avoid inconveniences with having to travel farther to their schools than necessary. Mr. Schramer gave the example of how students on the east side have to pass Jewel Middle School to attend Herget School on the far west side.
Motion made by Trustee Guethle and seconded by Trustee Gaffino to adjourn to Executive Session to review the release of certain executive session minutes through 2014.
