Using an "interest-based" bargaining process, the Board of Education and Prospect Heights Education Association (PHEA) collaborated to develop a four year negotiated agreement.

We are happy to work together to provide an amazing educational and whole child experience for our students and support our educators who serve their needs.

The final version of the agreement will be posted to the District website following final revisions.

Board president Kevin Novak (left) welcomes our new Assistant Principal at MacArthur Middle School, Mr. Mike Kaper (right).

Mr. Kaper is an educator in Schaumburg District 54 and will join the D23 team in July. We look forward to his leadership at MacArthur and for our students and community to get to know him. With a background in Social Work and Criminal Justice, Mr. Kaper has extensive training in restorative practices and supporting students' mental health needs.

The Board has also created a new Safety and Security Committee to discuss and monitor this important area of District work.

As costs for goods and services have increased significantly over the past two years, so too have our costs for food services provided through our Partner, Organic Life. The District has not adjusted meal costs for several years, but have received a recommendation from ISBE to slightly increase our fees to align with the National School Lunch Program. For the 2023-24 school year, meal fees to students will be as follows:

Breakfast (All Grades): $2.00

Lunch (K-5th Grade): $3.25

Lunch (6-8th Grade): $3.50

Milk prices will not be increased and one milk is included in each student lunch.

Second milk (6-8th Grade): $1.10

Following the April 4 Consolidated election, the Board of Education was sworn in and elected their officers. All four of our incumbent candidates were reelected. Also, the Board has set their meeting dates for 2023-2025 as the second THURSDAY of each month, starting this July.

Board President: Kevin Novak

Vice-President: Brian Greidanus

Secretary: Becky McClaney

Members: Carol Botwinski, Mari-Lynn Peters, Jim Bednar, and Brynn Nordmark
