WGLT Beyond the Books President Doug Ficca addresses the District 87 School Board during its meeting, Wednesday, May 26, 2021.
The District 87 school board meeting Wednesday included the story of a sometimes overlooked group of essential workers food service staff.
These school district employees quickly adjusted plans last year to make sure the district’s children had meals, and they’ve had to stay on their feet adapting all year, said Colin Manahan, District 87 finance and facilities chief.
Also at Wednesday’s meeting, the board adopted a new science curriculum for Bloomington Junior High School; learned about Beyond the Books’ 2021-2022 grants; and heard about the state s requirement that masks be worn in the next school year.
