Thank You, Board Member Briggs

CCSD93 School Board member Keith Briggs officially stepped down from the Board of Education at our most recent Board meeting for personal reasons. I want to take a moment to acknowledge Mr. Briggs’s service to the CCSD93 community. 

In Illinois, school board members are unpaid elected officials. As a member of the CCSD93 School Board for 12 years, including 7 years as Board President from 2015 until May of this year, Mr. Briggs was always incredibly generous with his time. He devoted thousands of hours to preparing for, participating in and presiding over CCSD93’s Board of Education meetings, sat on a variety of committees, attended a number of school events and district functions and even served as a keynote speaker for graduations and college and career fairs. 

He thoughtfully governed the District with diligence and integrity, and he expected accountability. He kept the needs of students at the forefront of all he did while remaining mindful of District resources and all stakeholder groups. His leadership enabled CCSD93’s Board to speak with one voice, united under the goal of providing outstanding, wide-ranging opportunities for our community’s children. Thanks in no small part to his contributions, the District has been able to offer innovative academic programming and learning spaces, safer school front entrances, an ambitious Strategic Plan and much more. 

He's left behind a remarkable legacy, and I'm grateful for his leadership, his guidance and all he has given to the CCSD93 community.

Students are taught to be Husky Heroes every day by following the school’s “3 Be’s” of being respectful, being responsible and being safe. Here are a few highlights!
