ATTENTION COMMUNITY MEMBERS:
-----------------------------------------------
SEEKING A NEW BOARD MEMBER
On Tuesday, May 2 the Annawan Board of Education will hold a special meeting to reorganize. Reorganization meetings are routinely held every 2 years, after local elections. The board will have no new members to seat but will have one open 2 year term that needs an appointment. Time is of the essence. If no local volunteer is found, the Regional Office will take control of the appointment process. If the Regional Office of Education is unsuccessful at filling the vacancy, then the Illinois State Board of Education will look for an appointee.
No township in our school district can be represented by more than 3 board members. Currently, Annawan township has 3 representatives. Therefore, this appointment MUST COME FROM OUTSIDE ANNAWAN TOWNSHIP.
School board work is important to local residents. The board ensures taxpayers have representation, sets policy of governance, and oversees district success. The Annawan school board meets monthly. Board members are unpaid. The work can seem difficult and thankless at times, but rewarding in seeing our students’ success.
If you have questions on the roles of board members, please contact a current or past board member, or the district to learn more. If you are interested in ensuring that our district does not lose local control of this appointment, please consider volunteering to fill the vacancy. Remember the vacancy must be filled by someone in townships other than Annawan which are: Alba, Kewanee, Gold, Mineral, Cornwall, Loraine, or Yorktown Township.
Please contact Superintendent Jamie Bryan at 309-935-6781 or jbryan@annawan226.org if interested.
