District 227 approves first three-year contract
The District 227 board awards its largest contract yet a three-year deal with $200 in year two and $300 in year three on the lane and $100 annually thereafter up to a $1,500 bonus. The district anticipates a $630,000 rise in teacher salaries, with pay slated to rise from a $4.2 million base last year. A new masters lane requires extra credit hours in the teacher’s academic area. The board also set a September 10 committee meeting to discuss boundary changes for three schools.

Voter Referendum Would End Cumulative Voting in Illinois
A proposed amendment would let voters decide if Illinois lawmakers should end the 3 member districts and cumulative voting. If 60 percent vote yes, the House would drop from 177 to 118 seats, abolish three member districts, and create 118 single member districts with one minority party member elected in each.
