Attention Illinois Educators!
The Illinois State Board of Education is offering short-term approvals for school support personnel through June 30, 2026. This initiative is designed to address staffing shortages in essential roles such as school social workers, speech-language pathologists, school psychologists, counselors, and nurses.
For more information contact Dee Williams at dwilliams@roe39.org
Newly elected board members recently attended School Board Leadership Training at the Macon/Piatt Regional Office of Education #39, presented by Gary Lewis and Jeff Fauver. This required four-hour, in-person training covered essential topics such as fiduciary responsibilities, financial oversight, education and labor law, and trauma-informed practices. The session also provided an opportunity for new board members from area districts to connect and learn together about their important role in supporting public education. Thank you to all who attended!
