School Boards Vote Against Joining LINSCO Network
The board voted 4-2 not to join LINSCO as IASB seeks to expand a legislative network in south Cook County. Beichman notes about half of roughly 60 south Cook districts must join for LINSCO to launch. 14 have joined, 13 declined. Schlenker cites duplication with EdRed, which the district already pays $200 annually to belong to, while LINSCO would cost $940. The board accepted two resignations from Anna Hamilton and Diane McGarry and approved new teaching and staff hires.
