The draft centers on five priority areas: teaching and learning; student success; future readiness; community engagement; and fiscal stewardship. Cross‑cutting concepts such as fiscal responsibility, transparent decision making, educational equity, innovation, two‑way communication and workplace excellence are embedded across the priorities. The draft retains the motto “All students always.”

Administrators said the draft grew from stakeholder sessions that included students, staff, parents and community members. The packet presented to the board includes a cover letter on the planning process, recommended mission and vision wording, long‑range goals and three “portraits” describing the desired learner, learning environment and working environment.

Board members who participated in the guided team praised the process as inclusive and substantive. One board member said the draft showed tangible evidence that participants’ input was heard. Members noted the plan is intentionally focused on long‑range goals; the administration will bring back specific KPIs and annual targets for board review.

Administration said it will bring a final version for approval next month and will produce supporting materials such as short videos that demonstrate what the portraits look like at different grade levels. No formal vote on the strategic plan occurred at this meeting.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","May 15, 2025 Board of Education Meeting","oneSentenceSummary","Board members reviewed the final draft of Huntley Community School District 158’s proposed five‑year strategic plan, which outlines five priorities and cross‑cutting concepts to guide annual KPIs.","taxTitle","Huntley Community School District 158, School Boards, Illinois","taxId",38258,"location","Illinois","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6236411,"Parent alleges student was searched without nurse or parental notice; urges Huntley 158 to revise protocol",282,6391000,6673000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3365284-997354cd26e98d0d3f853b59dbbc15f5&start=6391&end=6673","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3365284-997354cd26e98d0d3f853b59dbbc15f5/thumbnail_6391000.jpg","/articles/6236411/Illinois/Parent-alleges-student-was-searched-without-nurse-or-parental-notice-urges-Huntley-158-to-revise-protocol","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6236411-23d1747898deb2202b79febccc532765/orig.mp4?Expires=1771171440&Signature=lVtfq~b2VUb--0c~U9TRfFAihblKp-iqzgHC8Paduapzg4Ha2OXMY-jzssxrHRFZBhPZJ11YioFpm0mF1uAQHZsuQlCUY0YGrvn1FAUN2xf~6EY1xWqxNn5au9C2l0yZX8fYBLa18ztGHZ7XedHyCeIVwDPAMlOArwm9lfkhW4B-cxCERkWTbrs5aXHbLxm6bBxzMi2VhveOkDfcPANM09Sk~hd84-HJy-2gnvuqEvqW1ZmBJyZ367wIPt5t9rlCkCp3igQugd52Br8~h0nOD~YxnRJpFygYglRUanFmWi8~82vnrCjvlCEF0TnOKIpBZ-unUHOflMhNRjFpkpD-ww__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Mary Holcroft, a parent, told the Huntley Community School District 158 Board of Education during the meeting’s public comment period that school staff searched her daughter’s body and locker without a nurse present and without calling her first.

Holcroft said her daughter initially reported sexualized comments from another student and that, weeks later, school staff told Holcroft her daughter had been seen “slicing herself in class” and had razor blades. Holcroft said the later claim was false. “It was a fabricated…false claim,” she said. “They searched her — all of her bathing, her body included, and her locker.”

Holcroft said the school later told her the search did not happen, but that her daughter confirmed she had been taken alone to the social worker’s office and asked to remove her shirt so staff could “review her arms.” She said her daughter was taught the concept of self‑harm during that meeting and that no parent or nurse was present. “It is not appropriate for any adult ever in any circumstance other than a parent or a nurse to ask to view a child's body. Period,” Holcroft said.

Holcroft said she met with the principal and requested the vice principal and social worker attend; she said the principal refused to include them in that meeting. She also told the board a required risk‑assessment report that should have been filed “magically disappeared” and that she was told by school staff that her daughter was “probably not telling the truth.”

Holcroft asked the board to revise district protocol to require that parents be contacted first in incidents that do not pose an immediate danger, that only a nurse (or parent) may request a child remove clothing for inspection, and that unwarranted locker or body searches be prohibited. She also said the district should make clear that emotional and mental safety matter as much as physical safety.

The board did not take formal action during the meeting on Holcroft’s request. Holcroft said she intends to pursue the matter further for her child; she urged the district to bring the issue into the light to allow change.

The statements in this article reflect Holcroft’s account as given during public comment. The transcript indicates the parent named school staff roles (vice principal, social worker, principal) but does not quote those staff members during the public comment. The district provided no on‑the‑record corrective statement during the meeting about the incident.","Mary Holcroft, a parent, told the Huntley Community School District 158 Board of Education that school staff searched her daughter’s body and locker without a nurse present and without calling her first.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6236402,"Huntley High journalism wins IHSA state title; television newscast earns regional and national honors; robotics club showcases elementary teams",1030,4888000,5918000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3365284-997354cd26e98d0d3f853b59dbbc15f5&start=4888&end=5918","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3365284-997354cd26e98d0d3f853b59dbbc15f5/thumbnail_4888000.jpg","/articles/6236402/Illinois/Huntley-High-journalism-wins-IHSA-state-title-television-newscast-earns-regional-and-national-honors-robotics-club-showcases-elementary-teams","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6236402-b7f4fbc2e2d8ff4ab36e9b8080cb4316/orig.mp4?Expires=1771171440&Signature=h2WPAnQjj~TgYlPwb2UFiImosDIj7RyjttW4iWfYfXzeE~g~cj5-ufk-aD1OELIe46MinyT0Vc4yQE-eEISyxqjXvoscuntsiVt4mS33S8MzcJLm8bcFan85Eu7qSy-8V7GVtFHX~~hWLbMb-JC2O1BoYVfYjmioHAeYg~8LpTSa4YRF8E1I3mbuJRMD-c3Mvvr30iVhOl~RzckcbVt-erOir0yj5uxblBGm6~uylBAdUspGKUN6o4ynVzk7Qs7sSfdAtaXKjhEcNMjDFuCkKLi6WZYl0r3iHEgxhMfD4UxG-ers73ZtRj2L7m6qwZ8hRb8ZvC2zI0Qdbb4jLGZL~Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Huntley High School’s journalism team earned a tie for the Illinois High School Association (IHSA) state journalism championship, coaches told the Huntley Community School District 158 Board of Education during the meeting’s recognition segment.

Advisers and sponsors outlined team results from the state finals and earlier sectionals, naming students who placed in individual events including radio news, TV news, infographics and photo storytelling. Coaches noted that Huntley tied for the state championship with Prospect after a final set of yearbook placements pushed the team’s total points above other schools.

One adviser said the team’s achievement was especially meaningful because it is the final year for a longtime adviser and because families, staff and emergency services turned out to celebrate the team’s return. The board and administration thanked students, coaches and parents.

Separately, the high‑school newscast received the Crystal Pillar award from the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences for best newscast; students were recognized for editing, production and music packages. The advisers noted the students also placed highly in a national organization’s rankings announced the same week.

Earlier in the meeting, elementary robotics club students and coaches from several elementary schools presented a short demonstration and described a recent cross‑district exhibition. Students spoke about building projects and teamwork; coaches thanked the board for support of extracurricular programs.

The board and administration expressed congratulations and highlighted district support for journalism, media and STEM extracurriculars. No formal board actions were associated with the recognitions.","Huntley High School students won a tie for the Illinois High School Association state journalism championship and received a Crystal Pillar award from the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences; district officials and coaches recognized students and thanked staff and families.
