The Waukegan CUSD 60 Board of Education meeting on May 27, 2025, focused on several key initiatives, particularly the efforts of the Wellness Committee to address health concerns among students.
During the meeting, members discussed the upcoming launch of a series of anti-vaping posters designed in collaboration with the local health department. These posters will be tailored specifically for middle and high school students and are set to be displayed on the first day of school in September. The Wellness Committee emphasized the importance of these materials in promoting healthier choices among students, particularly regarding vaping and unhealthy drink consumption.
Committee members noted that the initial round of posters would be selected by the Wellness Committee, with plans to rotate different designs periodically to keep the messaging fresh and impactful. The initiative aims to raise awareness about the dangers of vaping and encourage healthier lifestyle choices among the student body.
No additional committee reports were presented during the meeting, but the focus on student health and wellness remains a priority for the board as they prepare for the upcoming school year. The board will continue to seek input from members regarding participation in various committees, allowing for broader engagement in these important discussions.
