Summary
The board approved issuing a warning letter to a tenured teacher requiring remediation of specified conduct, citing a statutory provision referenced during the meeting; board members debated the use of remedial warnings versus dismissal.
The Waukegan CUSD 60 Board of Education voted to issue a warning letter to a tenured teacher requiring remediation of conduct described as remediable, as recommended by the administration.
