Lisle CUSD 202 board holds public hearing on waiver to stop newspaper publication of annual statement
Summary
District officials held a public hearing and moved to seek a waiver to discontinue publishing the annual Statement of Affairs in the local newspaper, saying online posting and on‑request paper copies will continue and the change will save roughly $2,000 annually.
Lisle CUSD 202 opened a public hearing June 24 on an administration request to stop publishing the district’s Annual Statement of Affairs in the local newspaper and instead continue posting the report on the district website and provide paper copies on request. The administration told the board the change would save about $2,000 a year and at least $10,000 over a five‑year waiver period while still making the report accessible online.
The board opened the hearing for oral or written public comments; none were offered during the hearing, and the board closed the hearing at 7:37 p.m. before taking related action later on the consent agenda. District officials said the website reaches a broader set of community members than the local paper and that perusal copies would remain available on request to ensure public access.
The hearing followed guidance the district reviewed at its finance meeting. Board members and staff framed the proposal as a cost‑saving measure that preserves public access, and the item was carried forward for a formal vote as part of the consent agenda. No formal objections were recorded in the public hearing itself; the board subsequently voted to approve the related waiver submission in the consent agenda.
