The Park Ridge Community Consolidated School District 64 Board of Education meeting on March 22, 2025, included a segment dedicated to public comments, allowing community members to voice their concerns and questions regarding school operations. Each speaker was allotted three minutes to address the board, with a reminder that comments should not pertain to individual students or staff members.

During this session, Micah Philbrook, a parent and advocate for special needs children, particularly those who are non-speaking or verbally delayed, took the opportunity to share his insights. The board emphasized that while they welcome public input, they would not respond to comments during the meeting and cannot take formal action on non-agenda items.

The board also announced plans to honor additional staff members at the upcoming April meeting, highlighting their commitment to recognizing the contributions of educators within the district. This meeting served as a platform for community engagement, reinforcing the board's role in listening to the concerns of parents and residents.
