At the May 20 Batavia USD 101 Board of Education meeting, the board voted to approve an application seeking a school calendar waiver required by the Illinois State Board of Education.

Brad (district staff) explained that the state required a renewed public‑hearing notice after paperwork was revised and that the district had notified union partners; there were no public comments at the hearing. Board President Meadows then called for action.

Board member Raquel moved to approve the application; Katie seconded the motion. The board recorded a roll call vote; the members present voted yes. The clerk read the roll call as: “Jose Keith? Yes. Garros? Yes. Aralandu? Yes. Gonzales Thomas? Yes. Kilberg? Yes. Meadows? Yes. Slager? Yes.” The motion passed.

After the waiver vote the board entertained a motion to adjourn; members agreed and the meeting ended at 8:52 p.m.
