Meetings in January

The remainder of January there are 4 different meetings scheduled in the district. One will have discussions on the budget, 2 others will focus on the referendum campaign in District 131. The school board meeting offers time for public comment.

For concerned community members, attending all these meetings to keep well informed, can be quite a task.

The community budget forum aka Tuesday Talk, open door meeting will be midday.
The Community Advisory Committee meeting scheduled for January 16th at 12:00 noon will be hosting a community budget forum in lieu of their usual meeting. East Aurora School District 131 Superintendent, Dr. Jerome Roberts will be the host. Also, the meeting location has been changed to East High School room 239 in order to accommodate a larger group.
Referendum Review Council (RRC) meetings are January 18th and 25th at 6:30 at the service center. One meeting was already held on the 11th.


The flyer says: Register for RRC by contacting Info@d131.org or 630-299-5566

This is a group comprised of parents, community members, educators and civic leaders that provides constructive feedback about the district's November referendum campaign. This council focuses on what should be changed, created, cancelled or continued (4 C's) in reference to the previous process. Information collected will be provided to the Board of Education and Administration.

There is a disclaimer of sorts on this flyer that states:

PLEASE NOTE: This council is not the East Aurora Referendum Committee. The Board of Education has yet to vote on placing a referendum on the April ballot. In such case that the Board votes in favor of an April referendum, the EA Referendum committee will be reestablished independent of the School District.


East Aurora Referendum Committee (no meetings yet)

And.........the District 131 School Board meeting is "supposed" to be held on Tuesday this week, due to the holiday. Meeting is posted to take place January 16th at 7:00 p.m at the school service center.

Tuesday January 16 will be our first opportunity this month to hear and be heard.
Come early and sign up to speak.

I looked at the list of meetings in this morning's Beacon--no mention of a School Board meeting tonight.

Did someone see it posted another time or place?

Or did they drop the ball yet again??

I have not seen the school board meetings listed in the Beacon, at least not in the last few years.
Just another issue!
