An invitation from Carpentersville District 300:

The meeting with legislators will beheld at Jacobs High School in Algonquin. Take the driveway I was not allowed to take to turn around the day of the teachers’ strike.

Please plan to attend and share the news. District 300 students, parents, staff, and community members are encouraged to attend a public forum that will be held next month with municipal leaders and state legislators who represent the D300 community.

The D300 Legislative Reception will take place at 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday, January 22, 2013, at Jacobs High School: 2601 Bunker Hill Drive, Algonquin.

For the past few years, this event was held in the morning; the School Board Legislative Committee decided this year to move the reception to an early evening timeframe to better accommodate working families, students, and staff members.

Refreshments will be served at 5:30 p.m., followed by dialogue with local and state leaders at 6 p.m.

The conversation will start with a brief overview of the district’s three legislative priorities for the 2012-2013 school year, which are:

• State Education Funding (General State Aid and Categorical Funding),
• Capital Development Board Funding, and
• Truancy.

Additionally, audience members will be able to ask questions of the legislators and provide input to them.
