LOUISVILLE, IL - The North Clay Board of Education held its regular meeting on Wednesday evening, addressing a full agenda that included the approval of the district's final budget for the current fiscal year. Board members reviewed the financial plan in detail before voting unanimously to adopt it, citing stable revenue projections and controlled spending in key operational areas.
In personnel matters, the board accepted the resignation of a middle school teacher effective at the end of the semester and approved the hiring of two new support staff members for the elementary building. The new hires are expected to begin work next week following background checks.
Facility updates were also discussed. The superintendent reported that repairs to the high school gymnasium floor are nearly complete after water damage from a plumbing issue earlier this fall. The project came in under the initial repair estimate, saving the district several thousand dollars.
the board reviewed the district's annual safety drill report, confirming that all required drills have been completed for the first semester. Members also set the date for the next regular meeting, which will take place in mid-December. No public comments were made during the open forum portion of the evening.
