Today is the first day of the 2011 East Aurora Band Camp. This has been a wonderful experience for our band students for many, many years! Young musicians ranging in age from middle school through high school (and a few alums, too) spend the week sharpening their skills and getting to know their band-mates in the beautiful setting of LaSalle Manor. Then, the entire group marches in Aurora's Fourth of July parade.
Band Camp is definitely one of the many grEAt things happening this summer in our district. We're proud to support you, D131 band students!

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 212 of 212Since when can't someone who does not live in this district address the board? My guess with Green is because of what was happeing. The board meeting is open to the public.
I believe anyone even if they don't live in the district can speak at a board meeting and if this board is not letting them then shame on them. If they didn't let a employee speak at a meeting then that goes to show you this board does not respect their employees or any taxpayer. This is why many of us talk about this board and how they represent themselves. If this board wants respect then they need to give it.
Fultz is one thing but Hill never shows up to meetings why is he allowed to stay on the Board.
Hill has not been at the lat 3 meetings and missed almost all of his committee meetings
I really hope the Fultz thing is done, but the Judge issued a default judgement, i.e. she wasn't there so she automatically lost. That's not really a ruling on the merits. And according to the Patch article, nobody official actually placed a summons in her hands. One was given to her mother for her, and the other was mailed. So if she hires a lawyer and they manage to concoct some halfway reasonable excuse for her not being in court, the Judge could vacate his default judgement and schedule another hearing. Of course, this would cost FULTZ some money.
Don't they send a legal document like a summons by registered mail? If so, there would be a receipt and it could be proven that it was delivered.
The Beacon article was just updated, to add the following:
In a conversation Monday night, School District attorney Bernard Weiler told Fultz that after she was hand delivered court summons, there were first-class letters sent to her with further instructions at her home on Serendipity Lane and a relative’s home on Kane Street...The district has spent more than $12,000 in legal fees on the case, with some bills still pending.
That $12,000.00 should have been spent on OUR KIDS.
Mary Fultz is a THIEF.
Actually, the thieves are the lawyers. What could they possibly have done that cost the district over $12,000. They filed a couple of documents and battled no one in court. Does anybody actually hold the lawyers accountable? Where is the transparency? Are the lawyers fees broken down and documented somewhere?
If someone is going to charge the district over $12,000, they should be able to document the work they did.
There is plenty of blame to go around. A community activist such as Ms. Fultz had to be aware that her refusal to step aside would cost the district big bucks. She and the lawyers basically STOLE from our kids.
Who was behind the decision to cancel the March against Violence at the high school? I understand the reason for permanent cancellation is that it projects a negative image. The March wasn't negative - I think it gave our students the chance to show Aurora that they are role models. Is anyone bothered by this move to cancel an event that was important to students and community?
11:47 p.m., don't you know that this district's administration is all about "IMAGE"?
That's what they care most about--not our students.
That's why they stubbornly persisted in YEARS of legal proceedings against Mr. Green, despite the fact that it cost our district (and, basically, our kids) HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS.
Business as usual in D131.
Making decisions for arrogance.
