PEORIA, Ill. District Three Peoria Public School Board Member Dan Walther attended his final meeting Thursday as a member of the board.
Walther was elected to his post in March of 2016 when he defeated Terry Spayer. He was then defeated this past April by Mike Murphy.
Everyone around the table offered parting words to Walther.
“This work is not easy. We spend hours in committee work building schools, meeting and talking to parents, teachers, and other governing bodies,” said President Doug Shaw.
“This is unpaid time, and you choose to spend it working to improve the lives of others through this board. Your knowledge, passion, and attention to detail have been noteworthy and appreciated.”

– To combat learning loss from COVID-19 and long summer vacations, Peoria Public Schools is considering changing its calendar for students and teachers.
But that would come at the price of shortening summer break. The idea is known as a balanced calendar and is one of three options being considered by the school board for the 2022-2023 school year.
The first option is to leave things the way they are or the so-called traditional plan. The other two are the balanced calendar and the modified calendar.
What does balanced calendar mean?
A balanced calendar distributes intermittent breaks that are longer throughout the year. Although there are different options, a common balanced calendar may have a 15-day break between 45 days of learning. To accommodate this, summer break is shortened, so the school year would start in July instead of mid-August.
