I sent a FOIA Request for all emails sent by Decatur Public Schools District 61 Board Members from October 24th, 2023 through October 25th, 2023.
Read my coverage on Board Member Dr. Kevin Collins-Brown's email to Board President Bill Clevenger.
There were also emails expressing concern that a new teaching assistant job description would require k-2 TAs to provide toileting assistance, where it was supposed to be voluntary. I emailed Board Member Al Scheider a couple questions about that on Friday November 3rd, but he has not responded. I do not plan to cover this further.
